It's been almost 6 months and I still miss my ex. Will I ever forget him?

Anonymous
I was with my ex for 4 years. We had our ups and downs in our relationship and broke up a few times but never for more than 2 weeks. In October, we had a heated argument and he decided to end things for good. At first, I agreed that we needed a break from each other but after a month I really started to miss him and realize the things I needed to change. He needed to change as well but he didn't really seem to care about changing or saving our relationship anymore. Since October, we've been in touch but mainly because I would contact him all the time. There were times that I would go see him because the pain was just unbearable. He would cry and the last time (about a month ago) I decided to agree with the breakup and he started to cry and told me it was difficult for him too and that he still loved me as well. I couldn't understand how he could still "love me" but not want to try anymore. I cried and cried and basically pushed him further away. I'm trying to maintain no contact now for my own sanity and to move on. I know he moved on months ago and there is absolutely nothing I can do about this anymore. My question here is: will I ever stop hurting over him? I know that eventually one day I will, but its been 6 months now and I have not even moved on in the slightest bit. Is this normal that I am STILL depressed over our breakup 6 months later?
