Is it right to still be hurting after we broke up 8 months ago?

Question - (3 August 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 3 August 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Eight months ago, I became single. My ex (first love) of exactly two years and one day had emotionally abused me and then cheated on me for who knows how long. I was able to build an iron-wall around my heart afterward. Nobody can get in. So why is it that whenever I think of him and that slut he banged, it still stings? Why is it that some women of any age feel it's okay to make advances on men who are already taken?

He hasn't seen the bitch in over two months but she never wanted a boyfriend during high school; she just wanted fun and sex. Which my ex gladly supplied her while dating me. And why is that when I think of the last time my ex and I talked about college, he was thinking of staying a bit more local because she's staying local and he was not willing do that for me?

Is it right to feel hurt and resentful even after eight months? Or is it time to throw in the towel and start looking for other men or even women, for that matter? Men (or women) who will appreciate me. Men ( or women) who will NOT cheat on me and/or abuse me in any way. Is it too much to ask for honest monogamy? Is it too much to ask to actually be happy?

its hurtfull leaving a relationship specially when cheating was involved and it takes time to get over.

you are feeling bitter naturally but try and look at this differently.

whilst you are suffering still, he is probably enjoying life, is that what you want? please dont let this go on any longer, he is the one that lost a decent girl.

make the desicion today: he is in the past, out of your life, he was a loser, and you are free now to move on and meet anyone you choose.

there are some low lifes in this world and you were unfortunate to meet one of them, but you have past that time and now its time to get back to your old self and sure as the sun still shines you will meet another and look back at this for what it was, a complete waste of time.

forget this loser. he isnt worth a thought.
