How could I stop thinking about getting him back?

[Anonymous]

I need help
I was in a relationship with a guy at university
Then he traveled to Europe and we remained in a long-distance relationship, then he left me after our engagement for another girl !! I was waiting for him to marry me and take me with him
I am from Syria
And the living situation is bad because of the war.. I work as a doctor, but my work is very bad. I never make money, and my family is very poor.
I have the opportunity to go out to another Arab country to work and help my family
But I still have hope for my ex-boyfriend to come back
We've been together for 8 years
What do you advise me do I turn to my future and improve my financial situation or wait in my country to meet him or someone !

Turn to your future and improve you financial situation. You shouldn't wait for someone who left you for another girl. There is an opportunity for you to leave to another Arab country which will be much better than your current situation. Take that chance. If you two are meant to be together then things will work out. Don't waste any more time waiting for him. Follow your dreams.

I would ask to get in touch with him, a phone call, a video call. To talk about what went wrong. Not to beg to try again, but for answers about what went wrong. I read nothing about fights and 8 years is a huge commitment, so I'm guessing it was the distance. Getting answers will give you closure.
