A 2 year relationship gone what do I do now?

Ahh honey..I went through the same thing with my now ex. If he broke your heart once odds are he will again and again. We tried to be friends too and can't because of how deep our love is. What helps is to go out , stay busy and date casually. If you and him are truly meant to be, then it will, you don't have to do anything.

Keep your distance from him for a while, go out and enjoy yourself with your friends and you'll get over him eventually.

Depending on how bad he hurt you (what caused you to break up with him), You should base your decision on that factor. It's hard to let go of long love relationships but in the end you will find the right person. If he broke your heart on purpose you should leave him in general,ditch him and do things to take your mind off of it. You will get over it with time. New love is the usual cure to replace old love.If you insist on being friends (choose wisely) then you have to deal with a lot of factors such as how awkward it would be to have him as a friend,or once you guys start dating new people.

Good Luck and I hope you pick the right decision for yourself.

i broke up with my guy who is my first love like serious relationship 6 mos. ago and I tell you it's not easy. it's a slow death, the hard part in your case is that you guys were also best pals so you lost both. but I suggest you try new things and meet new people beause pondering into things like your situation will just make things harder.

i think you need someone new to hold on to and to talk to.

I am really sorry to hear that :( I think it is a personal opinion if you want to be friends or not. It is really hard to completely cut someone out of your life that has been there for 2 years. If you think you can't go without talking to him or having him around then be his friend and go from there. Maybe he eventually will make a better friend then he did a boyfriend. Although right now it might be hard to have a friendship relationship when you still have really strong feelings. Hope everything works out for you, just know things happen for a reason.

Hey Girl,
You should read my article I posted up on here called "stop crying and get over it - breaking up" coz I cover a lot of things that can help with dealing with breakup. I would say that by you still wanting to be friends with him its just another way to hang on and not let him out of your life. I would say that you have to spend some serious time apart and not contacting each other. If at the end of that period you can't bear to live without the other person and this is a mutual feeling then you should talk and see where the relationship will go.

There has to be a period where you just mourn the end of that relationship and once that is over you just have to trust that in time all these feelings will past. Know that 1 month from now, 1 year from now or 5 years from now, you will look back on this situation and see it as a learning curve more than anything else.

breaking up sucks, but at the end of the day we have to learn all these lessons so that we can have a magical relationship with someone who is really suited to us. Everyone deserves that

All the best *hugs*

I have a friend going through the same feelings, except she broke up with a boyfriend of five years with whom she was living with too. She was really mad, sad, and lonely for a while but she's getting over it. I think you should give yourself some time and distance from him until you feel better and can be ok or come to terms with whatever he did to you. Then, afterwards, if it doesn't feel awkward you can try to be friends. Be glad that you've recognized he wasn't a good boyfriend for you. best wishes!
