I can't move on...

My ex boyfriend broke up with me almost a month ago. He obviously wants nothing to do with me, he won't have any contact with me or anything. I miss him so much why is it so hard to move on. I wish I could just wake up and have him next to me.. why does it take so long to move on?

It only takes as long as you let it. Give yourself time to get over it, and then keep busy. Hang out with your friends, watch movies, learn a sport, write, draw, exercise. Anything. Stop wishing he was there, and you won't miss him as much.

Thanks that was a lot of help, today's just a hard day because it would have been our 5 months :(. I wish I could go out and get him off my mind but I'm not allowed to leave. I'm going to keep enjoying my summer and not worry about him

A month isn't that long. although i've had other guys that ive dated and had quite a strong feeling for, i am still not over my first and only love thus far. and next month will be 3 years since ive seen him...it takes time to get over things. just dont rush it!

Thanks girls so much!!

It's difficult I am realizing and I talk trash about him all the time.
I dont know everyone says you always go for a guy taht's like your day and I obviously did.

Because ur mind remembers the way it made u feel when u were with that special person. trust me i was in this same position and it takes time to move on from my other boyfriedn but i found new love. it takes time for the heart to heal, let yourself be sad for a little while. its okay to be sad.

Wow a month give yourself time hun it took me three years to get over my ex properly and even now i still think of him often. i suggest you keep the no contact thing going as its harder when you have to see/talk to them all the time. you will get over him but you have to allow yourself to let go. it just takes time when you love someone.

I know what that's like. It's just that you've loved him for so long and feelings don't go away easily. Just take time for yourself for now.

I don't think the pain will ever be completely gone...you may even think about him every single day for the rest of your life.

But life does move on...and whether you like it or not you'll be forced to move on too.

Thats love for ya hun. Actually I think the pain absolutely CAN be gone. Its just going to have to take some patience. Listen, its only been a month. Like amanda said, that is nothing! Now my suggestion is to find someone else. It might take awhile but trust me, it will be worth it. Its just one of those things that requires patience.

Well I posted that In June but it's so hard yet and getting easier each and every day.

I brought his brother home one night because he couldn't drive and I called Danny asking him where to park and he came out and showed me, we made little conversation and haven't talked since it's easier but still painful. I'm hoping with him leaving for school things will get better between us

Things will get better if you let yourself heal, and stay busy. A month isn't too long... I have a good friend who is still intensely NOT over the guy who broke up with her two years ago. They were (and are) really close friends, but still. Don't let it be like that. Take the time you need, but make the effort to get over it, or you'll just end up being hurt for longer.
