Take the time to do the things you enjoy that you maybe didn't get a chance to do before.  Now you only have yourself to consider. Date.  Have fun.  Go out with your friends.  There is life after couplehood, and even another love.  With what you've learned from this relationship, probably a better one!

It's natural to feel lonely after getting out of a long term relationship.  Use your family and friends as a support system - make sure you tell them how you're feeling.  Keep yourself busy, go out with friends, get involved with new hobbies.  It's just important you aren't sitting at home sulking and being lonely - get out and do things.

First allow yourself to grieve and own up to what went wrong without blaming another person.  That is how we grow up.  Then start to dream again.  The past relationship wasn't right or else it would have worked out.  So, start dreaming about that perfect person.  What would they look like, how would they make you feel, what would you do together.  The more you can let go of the old and welcome the new the better.  Look at it as having a white canvas where you can begin to create once again.  Enjoy the process and do a lot of nice things for yourself that make you feel good.  Start looking for the joy in your life from other ways.  Good luck.

You could start by reading the million other posts and responses on how to get over someone.  Most of them will tell you the same thing, the only thing that is going to make you feel better is time.  Forgiving is easy, just do it, forgetting however, is a different story.  You will never forget him or the good and bad times you shared, it's impossible without the assistance of a labotamy (sp*).  So forgive, take all the time necessary and do your best to keep your self respect and move on.

stay busy. pick up a hobby or renew an old one. go to the gym. spend time with family and friends. watch movies. read books. but do not keep thinking about him. the only true way to forget is to let time pass by. you can only let time pass by if you spend time doing something else. \n\nand last but not least, learn to accept your loss. talk with a good friend about it. dont be afraid to reach out to a friend to talk. and if you dont have one to go to, find a therapist to help you. you cannot forget an ex all on your own.\n\nafter a while you will slowly forget him. but it takes time. good luck.

What my grandmother said was the best way to get over someone is to get under someone.\n\nI though that was a funny joke, but it turns out it is scientifically accurate. Getting intimate with someone releases hormones that get you "over" the other person.

Unfortunately many couples divorce either still loving each other or one partner still loving the other.\nThe best way is to accept that there is love, as well as accepting that he is gone. When you feel lonely and I know this is hard, instead of dragging out old memories, try as hard as you can on doing something constructive, listen to music,( not sad music) make a list of things you like about yourself, call a friend or a relative and go out for coffee or something, in short, get a life of your own.\nLike I said, is not easy, but if you try, little by little you will notice that getting up in the mornings is not so hard, and that you are looking forward to your new life.\nBelieve me, even if is hard to do believe now, this too shall pass.

1.Get yourself involved in some other activities to help get your mind off the person.  \n2. There are other fish in the ocean, and maybe by getting involved in something, you can meet someone special that will heal that broken heart.\n\nThe main thing is you got to move on or nothing will happen.

I'm not sure how long ago the two of you broke up, or what caused it, but the main thing you need is time. Allow yourself time to get over the break up, to get your life back on track without him. You cant just shrug your shoulders and turn around and forget about him, he has been half your life for more then 3 years. So don't lock yourself up in the house surrounded with his pictures mourning, but don't loose yourself in going out and partying each night either. take it easy. See friends, do fun things,a nd take time to be alone and cry if you need to. You feel whats best for you at the moment. And you know what? One day you will wake up and feel that you are ready to move on. Good luck!

Oh, Geez.  These people are crazy.  The only thing that will help you get over him is TIME.  If you think you were soulmates, you may never get over him, as a piece of your heart has been taken.  Time will still ease the pain, though.  Rumor has it that it takes half as long to get over someone as the time you dated them.  So.. if you dated for 2 years, it will take 1 year to get over him. If you were meant to be together... somehow, somwhere, you will hook up again, and you'll pick up right where you left off.   Chin up... things will be ok.  I promise.

go out with friends, get a new hobby, go out on dates, anything to get your mind off her. stop focusing on her and move on with your life. set your goals on what you want your future to be. and this one works for me: make a list of things you hate about her and whenever you miss her, remind yourself of those things.

So sorry that you are going through this. I can relate 100%.\nThe pain and depression from a break up can take over your life if you let it.. It did me for a while and I still have my moments. (I was w/ my now ex for 19 yrs.)It has been 9 months since my break up...\n(he also walked out on his 2 daughters)..\nDrugs and alcohol can consume a persons morals and soul...\n\nHere are some things that helped me and some I still continue to do:\n\nWrite a letter to her, but don't mail it, this is for you to express your feelings...burn it after reading this letter.. write and burn as often as you wish.. it does help.. this helps me to let go..\n\nKeep a daily journal of how you feel each day. \nJot down a POSITIVE word to describe yourself (loving, caring, compassionate, outgoing, and so on.).\n\nTake a long brisk walk, go for a swim, go to the gym... do something just for your self, something that you like and brings a smile...\n\nMake a  pro/con list of the relationship you had with her.\ndon't nit pick or sugar coat this list...be HONEST....\nThen make a list of the things you want to find in a woman(NOT HER)..don't over load this list, no one it perfect..\nI had to redo my list a few times....\n\nGo out with your freinds or family, DO NOT ISOLATE YOURSELF from others or life.... it only makes life harder for you!!!\n\nRemember and remind yourself that she chose her life and you can not change her.(I tried to change my ex and waited for him to grow up and change his life for 19 yrs., I lost out on a lot more then just losing him)...\n\nRemind your self that YOU are a GOOD person and you have control of your life, you can't change the past BUT you can change your future and make it happy if you choose.\nYou have control of you!!!\n\nAgain I'm sorry you are hurting so deeply. \nIn time you will feel better and begin to start your life over.. look to make friends with other women first..\nDo NOT rush into a new relationship just to be with some one and not be alone... THIS WILL NOT HELP YOU...\n\nIf you want to chat, email me, I'll be your chat pal.\n\nI hope this helps..

Use this hard time to take care of yourself.  Take time to do things that you enjoy that perk your spirits(bubble baths, yoga, workout, massage, etc.) and keep your heart healing.\n\nYou have a pretty good perspective on what you want to do and how you want this breakup to work.  No matter what you tell yourself in your head, though, your heart will still hurt for a time.  Good luck.

The easiest process that I would suggest is to convert one of your exes that you can stomach. Use that as a starting point to get into the swing of it until you are more comfortable with the concept. Just make sure they aren't confusing the situation with the possibility of getting back together. that can be messy.
