writes: Thanks to all of those who have been replying to my questions. It's been almost 2 months since my ex and I broke up and it gets just a little easier as each day passes. I still think about her, probably too often for my own good. I keep telling myself, "It's over, move on, give up on her." Something in my heart tells my head that I shouldn't. So my heart and mind are in a constant battle, and I'm honestly sick of thinking about her but it just keeps happening. "There's always something there to remind me." UGH! I've gotten rid of her possesions at my house etc. But just about anything I do, anywhere I go, something reminds me of our relationship.We haven't really talked recently, it's been about 3 weeks. I had emailed some sappy love crap to her shortly after we broke up and I think I just pushed her away even more. I've gone out on a few dates since then and, no matter what, I just end up thinking about her. I even try focusing on having a good time with the person I'm with and not think about her, but things just suddenly pop in my head! I've been told she's being really mean lately and self absorbed (my friends hang out at her house because they are really good friends with her brother, it's the hangout spot!)Basically, she's not the sweet person I used to go out with. I was told by a friend that it's just a phase she's most likely going through to help her deal with the situation. We all play World of Warcraft (her, my friends, and myself). I was told she's all about some guy from Britain in the game. I really think it's kinda weird. They talk like... 7 or 8 hours a day. My friend is a psychology major in college and she said "She's using him as a rebound, and it's better off she does that online rather than real life." I have no idea what they could be talking about for 7 or 8 hours a day, and what's even more dumb is that im incredibly jealous! I haven't told anyone that I'm jealous, of course. As I feel this would worsen the situation. But a friend told me this guy supposedly wants to visit in the spring? Hmm. I think this a very strange situation to be infatuated with someone you've never actually met, or maybe they are just friends that talk A LOT. I understand that it could happen, but it seems like a strange and uncomfortable situation. My friends have told me "He lives in England? He will never actually make the trip." The sad thing is, this guy actually has a girlfriend of three years in real life. So I really don't know what the heck is going on anymore. Why would she want to spend time talking to a guy 7 or 8 hours a day whom she knows has a girlfriend? Why does he spend 7 or 8 hours a day talking to her? I know for a fact that he does have a girlfriend because I've talked to her before. Can anyone shed some light on this subject? Being on the outside and looking in, usually makes things seem a little clearer. Any comments on my situation? Or suggestions about what I should do for myself to either get over her, or maybe I should just do my own thing for a while and see what happens next?

 Do you know what would be really, really good for you right now? That your friends didn't tell you about her at all, didn't provide you with any details. This would be much fairer for you in which to put her out of your mind. I know it would be hard but you should ask your friends to never discuss her at all in front of you. It is the best (and possibly only) way for you to get over her.
You are doing okay. Allow more time to pass. Go out with people only as friends for now as it is obvious you aren't ready for anything more.
Remember why you broke up so that in the future when you have another relationship, you can look for this signs.
Use all forms of distraction such as taking up a new sport or leisure pursuit, making new friends,etc.
I don't know why she would talk to someone for so long online, although it is happening a lot. Perhaps she just wants a friend, maybe she is lonely... there could be several reasons but it isn't to do with you anymore. You must keep reminding yourself of this otherwise you will keep torturing yourself with her life. Live your own life.
And please tell your friends to not talk about her to you. If they are decent friends, they will do this (they should have done this anyway) and don't ask them about her either!
Pat yourself on the back. You are doing well. Just allow a little more time to pass and keep us updated.
My thoughts are with you.
