writes:My boyfriend broke up with me about five months ago, shortly before our first anniversary. He did it over text, saying that part of him wanted to break up with me while the other thought he'd regret it for the rest of his life, then eventually finished by saying that he'd been thinking about it for the past week and that he needed some time alone. A few days later I found out from my best friend that he already had a new girlfriend, and when I tried to get in touch and ask about it he only answered via text-even then he didn't answer anything, he just chose to insult me.I went through the motions of being happy with a surprisingly good pretence, even though I'd go home and burst into tears. When we got back to school (He made sure it was at the first day of our two weeks holiday before he said anything) we just passed each other in the corridors a few times, and his friend (who admitted to liking me) told me that he just insulted me all the time. Yet he was very surprised that I wouldn't wave at him or talk to him when he came and talked to my friends. After a while he started hanging out with us at break with his friends, and kept talking about his girlfriend as if he was trying to rub it in. This amused me more than anything else, so I just pretended that it didn't bother me. Eventually I became less and less upset about it, even though I haven't stopped thinking about him yet.Recently I discovered from the same friend that he has dumped his girlfriend in the same manner as me, via text for some stupid reason or other. Now I can't stop thinking about him again. I just want to move on. My Dad says that if we were really meant to be together then we would end up back together, whether if be in a few weeks or in ten years. That's true I suppose, but I don't want to feel as though I'm waiting for him anymore. Twice I've been approached by other guys, but on both occasions I've just felt like I've been forcing myself to like them. What can I do to forget him?

 I really hate when guys do that....bc you never know if they dumped you for the girl they get with right after {{most likely they did}} but a very good way to get over a guy is to talk to other guys flirt a little....make it known that you dont need a man to be happy. I've been through a LOT of relationships and i'm only 1 or two years older...I've even been engaged 3 times...so yea it's been really hard on me...but I've always found myself feeling better after a party or just talking to guy friends....having someone else flatter me...to make me feel like the woman I deserve to be treated like. As they say...no man is worth your tears and the ones that are....will never make you cry.
