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?

Have you done anything to try and get over him or have you completely killed your social life with your friends and never go out? Go out with your friends to the movies, to a party, anywhere just don't stay home where you have the opportunity to do nothing but think of him. Pick up new hobbies and activities to take up your time and mind. Maybe even try and get a rebound guy. I know that last part sounds a bit low but it often helps I've seen not just with me but with a lot of people I know. I'm sure you will do just fine just don't give up hope. Good Luck

You only have 2 choices with your current situation:

First, try to see if there is still hope with your EX, but take small steps and don't rush things

Second, Get busy with important stuff, spend time with friends, hangout etc..and if your emotionally stable entertain new guys for dating..never go for a rebound guy because your going to be unfair if a guy was serious with you but in your heart and mind you still love your EX

you might have to go to the doctors an be perscribed anti depressents like I was..

my ex broke up with me too. I thought we'd be together forever, but he just stopped trying

stopped caring. said he loved me but just couldn't and didn't know how to be with me anymore..

im really depressed but the pills help, they are helping me move on little by little

It can be if you loved someone that much. You're grieving for something that was a major part of your life, N I wish I knew a way to lessen your pain, but time is the only answer. So Sorry...
