How can you forget someone as if you never met them?

It takes time especially if they were a big part of your life before. You will always have memories but to get over those memories you have to put them behind you as much as possible and pretty much exempt them from your life and focus on moving forward , and eventually meet someone else that treats you better than they treated you. Your ex is an ex for a reason , if they were such a great person to you , they wouldn’t be your ex period. Understand they gave up on you or you gave up on them , so right there is your answer that they are not good for you period , focus on yourself and realize you deserve someone that chooses you the same way you choose them , that stands by you the same way you stand by them , Love only grows when 2 people choose each other and make each other their top priority , it won’t always be perfect but it will be if you keep choosing them the same way you want them choosing you , learn to remove selfishness and learn to resist temptations , when you can do that for your partner they will more than likely do the same for you , if they do not then walk away , never be a convenience to anyone , if something is wrong in the relationship try to fix it first , if it can’t be fixed walk away. Don’t just assume you are always right and your partner is wrong , wear there shoes the same way you want them wearing yours before making decisions. The only time a couple should walk away from each other is if cheating is involved or physical and emotional abuse is involved and the relationship turns one sided meaning they only care about themselves but no longer really care about you and and vice versa , someone that truly loves you isn’t going to walk away from you period , they will stand by you and try to fix it , not run to someone else to save them , only selfish people run to someone else because they only care about themselves, they have no dignity or respect for anyone but themselves. Find someone that chooses you the same way you choose them , accept their flaws the same way you want them to accept yours. Honesty and communication is key to healthy relationship with anyone

In my experience the only time you pretty much forget about someone is if it was just a casual relationship. so like a fling. if it was serious then you're not gonna forget, you may start thinking about the person a bit less overtime or just find that you're so focused on stuff that you have to do, that when you do get some idle time you'll notice that you didn't sit around and think about them as much. but you'll never forget them or stop caring completely. instead you'll just learn how to move on with your life in spite of them no longer being in your life and in spite of all the memories. that's where i'm getting to be at now after me and my ex broke up a year ago. 5 months ago i was still a crying mess in the bed most of the time and contemplating suicide. while i still miss her greatly and do still occasionally cry about her absence or thoughts of what could've been, it's not as bad now. i can actually focus on my goals more again and what i have to do to create the kind of future i want for myself. so as cheezy as i thought this saying was it's true that time heals all wounds. so hang in there as hard as that might be. you'll get through, even if you never forget.

I was dating a guy almost 3 month we hit it off great right off the bat. I knew him before we dated and he changed a lot. But he became shady and then untrustworthy. We just broke up this Tuesday. everyday is hard. I still catch my self thinking and start sobbing like a mad woman. As long as I'm busy it not as bad.

I had a key to his apartment and some belongings there and I just couldn't do it and he of course blamed me for the things that happened. But anyway so it was serious. I was together with a guy 9 years and never did shed a tear like I have with this one.

Today is just the second day I now I'm in tears as I'm talking about him but I was busy busy busy. It's hard to forget someone who made you feel like a queen then all of sudden stop. He stopped the compliments the nice gestures everything. He was giving his coworker the praises and making time for her. I just happened to roll up on him to find it out. Even after he done that I still can't stop. Just stay focused in something that you don't have any connections with him in. The music or shows of you watched any. It's all the songs in hear relate back to him so i stopped and changed the channel. I hope this helps. Stay strong but never let them know that you are still interested. Find a group that doesn't involve him and friends to lift you up.

It’s hard to forget someone in that way. I’ve tried to do that but unfortunately it doesn’t happen as If
you two never met. But, the good thing is that it gets better. As time goes on you’ll find yourself not thinking about the person everyday, you’ll maybe forget the little things you two talked about or did together. Some memories may become a blur, but all with time. I used to be almost obsessed with someone , I would remember every single detail of our conversations and repeat them in my mind. He was my first real love I guess. But after 2 years of detachment, I can’t even remember some of those conversations anymore. He doesn’t affect me the same way anymore. He’s someone I used to know. Once you mentally detach and try your best, the same will happen for you. All the best!

Well the longer you hold on to the past and the negative and being angry the longer you're going to remember them find the positives acknowledge it and then let it go

You can't.. I deleted a guys pictures, contact info, socials, texts.. I still think of him at least once a week and it has been 2 years since we last spoke.. but having guys to flirt with helps..

A combination of time and experiences. You can only remember so much. So take the time to meet new people, have new experiences, and in a decade or two, you'll let go of some memories to make room for the new ones.

I have done that with many, but the bigger a part of your life the person was the harder it is.
