It is hard, when you really like or love someone..  It doesn't go away over night.  It takes time...  Eventually, your feelings will subside..  Give your boyfriend a chance, get to know him better...  \n\nIf you still can't stop thinking about your ex.  Then most likely you are not ready for another relationship....  Take some time for yourself, to figure out what you want and what your next step will be.....\n\nAlso staying busy helps alot and being around family and close friends...\n\nGood Luck!

girl it is hard. i have been there. the only thing is to stay busy and try not to think about it. it takes time and it will ease with time. after almost 9 years i still think about my ex every once in awhile even tho i am with the man of my dreams now. you will do it. dont let him make you miserable. if so then he wins. go find something to do and focus on it. wish you the best.

It's gonna be WAY too HARD!! i broke up with my boyfriend of 5 months and 15 days, and i still can't get over it! But i think you should try to take some time for yourself.. Try going to parties, hangouts, gatherings with more friends around or try to go to the gym.. What i'm trying to say is that you should keep busy! that's the only way that you might forget..\n\nGood Luck!!

You will get over it.It takes time.Try to do something to help yourself get on with life.You will never love the same way again.Each time will be different.But you will find another wonderful person to fill that void.If you two broke up I am sure that you can find someone who will be the girl friend of your dreams.It all takes time.

Your relationship with your ex is not completely over, you don't have closure OR you were so content in the  relationship you cannot adjust to the change fast enough.\n\nYou have to analyze your feeling honestly and openly and you will get the answer.

Because you loved her once. Sometimes the good memories block out the bad ones. I do this with my ex all the time and then start missing her badly. Next thing, I remember the hurt and confusion and I start to remember why we broke up.\n\nThere's no harm in still feeling for her man. That's a natrual thing when you've loved someone a lot. You don't want to remember the hurt, only the love.

I am happy for you that you realize he didn't love you, you are on the road to recovery!  WTG!  Why do you miss him so much?  You spent 3 years with him, that is a good chunk of time wouldn't you agree?  Even though someone hurt us more than imaginable, we still suffer a loss after a break up.  The only way to heal is to forgive him for all they ways he's hurt you.  You forgive him for yourself and your mental health, it really has nothing to do with him.  Then give yourself a lot of time.  You aren't going to get over three years in a month.  When you feel you are ready to move on you will but; give yourself a little time so what he did to you doesn't effect your next relationship.  Good luck and remember:  "NO MAN OR WOMAN IS WORTH YOUR TEARS AND THE ONE WHO IS WON'T MAKE YOU CRY."  I don't know who said it but; it's wonderful isn't it?

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.

it is prolly hard to forget your ex because it is either a relationship that has just ended or that you have many good memories of the time spent together. Or maybe you still have feelings for your ex.

Maybe your trying too hard?  Trying so hard not to think of your ex that that is all you are thinking about is not thinking about your ex?  Relax, apologize and be honest.

not to sure about the other stuff but it takes 1 week for every month that you were together to get over him. I heard this on Dr. Phil and a couple other times i read it not sure where though... I am so sorry to hear this, it makes me so sad because i may currently be going through the same thing... :'( sorry for you and i hope it gets easier soon.   Good Luck

Letting go is hard. You need to let yourself heal before you date again because you're on the rebound. The girl that worries sounds like a sweetheart but you need to be honest with her and tell her that you're just not as ready as you thought you were for another relationship. As for getting over this girl, acceptance is the key and the first step toward recovery. I've been there, I know. You have to allow yourself to go through the grief stages, and yes, it's like grieving over a death because it is a death in a way. You'll got through many emotions but it is a necessary path that you must take. This girl does not deserve you and if you have to get mad and hate her, do that if it works for you as long as it doesn't harm anyone. Avoid all contact with her because for now, it's keeping you tied to her. Heal first then perhaps you can be friends. If you feel you need counseling, than get it. There is no shame in it. Another thing you can do is to work out at the gym. It helped me a lot and when you see your body starting to change for the better, you begin to feel better about yourself and more confident. You will get over her, sweetheart but it will take time and effort on your part. God speed and good luck. =)

Don't. There's a reason you broke up. It's hard letting go, but give it time, keep yourself busy, and eventually, you will move on and forget.

There's a reason you broke up. If you broke up once, who's to say you wouldn't again. You broke up recently? That's probably why you can't stop thinking about him. You just miss him, but you'll get over him after a while. You'll find someone else.

It just takes time to move on. You need to let it go. I had the same problem once. I finaly got over him when I found someone else that I knew was better for me. But beware rebound relationsips don't work either. I'd say 5 months is long enough to linger over a relationship that was as short as yours. Find someone new and MOVE ON!!!

Its called feelings. Once youve been with someone you develop them. Its sometimes hard to forget them because with those feelings come memories. It may take a while for you to get over them.
