writes: Me and my boyfriend had been together for 18 months, but we split around 4 months ago, as he cheated on me.. I've been trying to get over him by going out with my friends, listening to songs to make me hate him and it works at the time, but a while after I think to myself and I miss him so much, its hard to move on from an 18 month relationship. He's still in the relationship with the girl he cheated on me with, and we often speak which is what makes me miss him, but i dont want to forget about him i just want to lose the feelings. Any advice?

Getting over an 18 month relationship is sometimes torture. I totally agree. But ending all contact with that person is definitely extremely helpful. If you communicate with them in any way, it just stirs up those feelings that you have tried to bury away.
I suggest getting busy with yourself. Going out with friends ever so often is ok for new scenario and fun, but getting more into yourself releases your own built up tensions. What I mean by getting into yourself is developing a hobby or outside interest. Crafting, writing, photography. Anything artistic or sports related. Even though it takes time to get over, it will happen, because you won't be so concentrated on it.
