How do I move on

Boy,
Here's the scoop, It is called life, heart ache unfortunately is part of life. In a strange way it is a beautiful thing because without it you wouldn't be able to put yourself in the right situation to meet miss right. You need to allow your self to grieve like nothing else. Release everything you have: anger, sadness, regrets of not showing her everything that you could have and forgive yourself. Come to the realization that you have become a better person for sharing the time you did with her and move on. Understand that as hard as it sounds there is life after death. Do not have hopeless thoughts. After you have had a proper amount of time to grieve the relationship it is now time to put it to rest and look forward and not backwards. There are many many beautiful females out there waiting to meet a fabulous man such as yourself. Relationships are stepping stones to the grand oasis which is for you "The beautiful bride." Your special girl is waiting for you. Be open to change in your life, don't resist it, go with it. Stay focused on a new hobby and get yourself out there to gain some exposure and begin a new chapter in your life. Stay strong, no regrets, life is full of choices, make the right one. Be thankful and move on. Be the bigger person, don't sweat the new guy, find you a new gal. Be supportive to her in her new adventure, the worst thing you can do is be the jealous x-boyfriend. If it still hurts too much to see her with a new guy, separate yourself from your mutual friends. Don't put yourself in any depressing situations. Smile and put yourself out there to meet your "bride to be"!

First of all, rest assured that this new guy is just a rebound. There is no way she can have any serious feelings for somebody new, two weeks after a two & half year relationship.

Perhaps you neglected her in the relationship and she's flattered in to thinking this new guy will provide what you didn't. Trust me when I say, she still thinks of you.

The biggest struggle is moving on - I still haven't and its been six months! Silly, I know. You may now realize that showing your emotions and looking after the women in your life is a GOOD thing to do, and if nothing else has come of this, then the next time you meet someone, you will treat them with the respect and attention they deserve.

It sucks though buddy, and unfortunately, time is the ONLY thing that will help you to heal.

Hey man I am right there with ya. Dated my girl for only a year though but the thing is is it was always her. I kept one friend and her every day. And she was going out with the new guy a week BEFORE we broke up! She'd always said there couldn't possibly be another, well that is bull***T! I admit I wasn't the best but she wasn't the greatest to me either maybe its because she wasn't there 100%

Surround yourself with people that care about you. Not her. You can still be friends but you need temporary distance. Need time to let that tricky thing called love. You could never get over her but for now just try to be single. Believe it that its very hard. But I surprisingly got it done. I've written songs, something I've never done but with this I am. Or just wait until she realizes what she lost and comes crawling back to you.

When you find out, tell me! But lol,

Really, its really hard, it must be after 2. 5 years but. You just gotta bite the bullet man. Heart ache. It sucks major, but you gotta go through it. Sorry man.

I think you did well. You wanted her back, did everything you can, showed her and your friends that you really cared for her. After that you should just step back. If you go too far not only her but your friends will think you are annoying, desperate and pushy. 2 1/2 years is a long time, so I feel your pain but pushing it will only make it worse for people around you but mostly for yourself.
