Question - (1 November 2010) 5 Answers - (Newest, 2 November 2010)
A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I miss my ex a lot. I miss his smiles, his hugs, his stories, his everything. I know he has moved on. I know he would be happier with someone else. He has told me many times what he doesn't like about me. I wish I could be the person he wants to be with. I do want him to be happy. I can't seem to let go. I still want to be with him. Am I supposed to forget about him completely? I don't even know how I could do that. Is that the only way to get over someone you love so much? I miss him.

Hun i know how you feel... I miss my ex so much it hurts... I wake up every morning missing him and go to bed every night missing him! It is so hard trying to get over someone.. And getting over them can take a long time! i was once told it takes half the time you were with someone to get over them! In my case it will be over a year before i am over my ex! which i doubt i could handle... Gettin over someone depends on yourself! I know im finding it hard but day by day i just remind myself of one bad thing about our relationship.. and since my ex broke up with me i try n just say tomeself thanks for leaving me because the next person who gets me will be much better than you!

Chin up hun xx

Yes. It's best to move on and start dating other people. Sometimes relationships can be resurrected. I remember that i broke up with my girlfriend once. She kept contact and kept callling. we later came back together. However, i dont know your ex personality. Is he friendly. Is he willing for your two to talk on the phone. Having some contact and gradually weaning off him can help. Keeping contact with the aim of moving on and not to get him back. Most women who break up will not want to keep contact but some men do. Perhaps, he could be trying to revenge for some lady who broke his heart in the past. The only other option is to bear the pain that only time can heal. There are a lof of books out there but there is no cure.

No watered down advice here! agony auntIt's IMPOSSIBLE to FORGET about somebody that you loved as much as loved him. However it's imperative, That you that move on.! I know right now it may seem like it's no way you can see YOU with out HIM! But..You must See YOU with HIM! That's the vision you MUST see In order for you to allow, your heart to heal,and for you to learn to live w/o him. Once you have accomplished those 2 IMPORTANT things, 1)An Healed Heart & 2)You learned how to live w/o him. THEN you can move on and you'll be prepared for whatever life has in store for you!

aunt honesty agony auntIm afraid it is yes, the only cure for this is time. Dont contact him and put photos and memories in to a box and put them away. I no it is hard nobody finds it easy but just give it time and also have close ones around you to be able to talk and also go out with friends and enjoy yourself it will only get better with time.
