cute angel agony auntWell we cannot tell you if you can forget her or not it all depends on how much cared for this person and if your really ready to move on in life!

Sometimes we get so attached to a person we think we cannot have a life without them and there was no survival before that!but in time when you disconnect you learn to live,you learn to love and learn how to be happy!

The good memories stay with you but your going to make better memories that will last forever!

Thanks for your advices I just want to know one thing that is it possible that I can fully forget her because it was my first relationship ever and I reli do care about her but the fact is true it's clear that our future together can't be bright?

Over 50 advice agony auntTrying to remain in contact with her from the start is a mistake, and you can see that now. Every time you reply to her in any way it just gives her hope that you still care to get back together. Your going to have to stop having any contact with her, the threats of hurting herself is just a guilt tool to keep you. I would guess this also putting a strain on your new relationship and it's not fair to your new girlfriend. Block her calls, text, emails and avoid her friends they are just going to go back and tell her what you said or what you have been doing. Your wanting a new start and your going to have to leave her and other people that keep this flame burning alone.

cute angel agony auntHey,

First off giving her "phone" was a bad move..if you both amicably decided to part ways then why leave your phone behind!its not healthy..when the two of you have decided to move on it means "move on" not leave things behind to communicate by which you can still connect with each other!im not saying ex"s can't be friends but you can't reach that level right away,it's going to take time!you seem to have moved on already plus you give the reason for your breakup as your family so clearly you both have some unresolved issues!

Call your ex up have a chat with her like mature adults,take your phone back and avoid any kind of contact with her

lawncare agony auntYou've done a noble thing in trying to remain friends, and you have done the right thing in realising that she is not ready for the reality of friendship and attempting to put distance between you.

Balancing the seriousness of threat when a former lover threatens self-harm or worse is normal. If you assume it is attention-seeking and something awful happens, you will feel guilty. But if you remain attached to this person and their threats are empty and designed to manipulate then you cannot move forward with anybody new.

You are doing the right thing as you are. Continue to put distance between you and her. Try not to concern yourself with the day to day aspect of her life; you may feel like you owe it to her, but you do not. Your responsibility is to yourself and your current relationship.

By all means, use the friends you have in common to check that her state is not worsening. However, if you do not feel love for her, you cannot go back. Let us say that returning to her makes her happy - it will only be temporary. You will be unhappy. And then eventually you will both be unhappy. And the cycle will return you to where you are now.

Be satisfied that you have made a hard decision with care and respect, and move forward with your life. It will help everyone concerned.
