Solidus  agony auntDude I'm going through something like this right now! In fact I just got off the phone with my Ex who is sleeping with someone else now. I told her I couldn't speak to her anymore and for a month she obliged me. Then started calling again so we're now "Speaking" I guess.

I just don't know...my ex is pretty appealing to me too. I look at her pictures and I just reminisces about all the times we've had sex. (She was my first everything!) What twists up my stomach is when I think of dudes having sex with her. It used to make my heart hurt and my stomach turn. Not talking to her for a month really helped me clear my head and detach from her emotionally. I don't even get sad the way I used to when she would talk about banging other dudes. I remember once tho when she told me she has a one night stand and it tore me up ALL DAY. I was in a job interview and my heart was breaking...literally shattered as images of some random dude on top of the woman who I loved with all my heart for more than a year ran through my mind on repeat.

I think that sometimes you just have to step back and put things into perspective. I'm still learning to...not want her to want me...if that makes any sense? In the back of my mind when we talk there's always this question "Why? Why don't you love me as much as I love you? Why couldn't we work?" Especially since she CALLS me all the time. I've had some of the best moments of my life with her so its hard to let her go completely and even when I think im strong enough to say good bye...I find myself relapsing and answering her calls or staring at her pictures.

I try to remedy this by listening to my favorite songs as loud as possible, talking to friends, and basically remembering why it doesn't work with us. Also, I try to remind myself that God has something planned for me. Someone way better than her.

Dude and if at all possible...spend time with beautiful women. You don't have to date them or anything just hang out with them. Make sure they're hotter than your ex they'll make you feel better.

I don't know if this helps man because getting over your first is fucking hard. I think about mine everyday...right now I'm pondering can we ever be friends without sex or our past inserting itself into the relationship? I Dont know if my words help, but I just want you to know that you are now alone in this, my friend.

lilly123 agony auntThe dream will stop eventually, but i dont think anyone gets over their first love i no i have not either the harder you try to get rid of the feeling the stronger they seem to get. If you cut her out of your life for awhile an focus on your new girlfriend you will stop thinking about her but those feeling will never go away.
