How do you know a relationship is really over??????

Breakups are probably one of the worst experiences in a teenages life. Espically if you really liked that guy/girl. But how do you know if the relationship is really truly over? Is it when a white truck can drive down your road and you dont run to the window to see if it him. OR when you have a class with him and you can go the whole period without sneaking a peak at him to see if he's staring at you the way he used to. Or could it be when you finally say your over him and you even find a new guy and when you kiss him you no longer compare it to His kiss. How do you know?? How can you really know? Your always going to wonder what he is thinking or doing even if you swear your over him. No matter what there is always going to something there that reminds you of him and makes you think of all the fun and love you both shared. YOur always going to wonder "What could've been" THis is a question i have been pondering since me and my boyfriend brokeup. I am dating a differnt guy now and i like him but there is something there that keeps me from loveing him. I still really really miss my ex and i hold on to the hope that we will find our way back to eachother. So i came to the conclusion that the way you know a relationship is over is when you both give up on ever getting back together. Even if one still has that hope there is still a chance that it will work out. So i guess my question is "How do you know that a relationship is over"

I recently just broke up with my bf for good and we have been getting back together for ages...i finally realized its when you finally both realize that you just don't fit or work anymore..every ounce of you is tired of trying any more.
Your going to miss him no matter what, because he was a part of your life. You soon learn to move on and you shouldn't expect him to be completely out of your life. He's like a tattoo on your heart that is permanent.
If its meant to be .. it will be .. just let fate take its toll .. One day you may get back together .. just let that day come on its own

Well, i realized that it was over for good with my on again off again ex boyfriend, Logan, when i realized i'd been settling for him...i realized there was so much better out there. when i realized i didn't need him to be happy anymore. when i realized i needed someone more stable...but mostly, i realized it was over because the day Logan broke up w/ me the last time, I met Eric....i dont need Logan when i have everything I've ever wanted with me...=]

i realized that when i stopped crying over the loss of Logan that i didn't really like him anymore. i just loved the idea of having a boyfriend..

Thanks guys if you could would you have more of your friends add to this topic. i would like to see what other people think too. THANK YOU for your input!!!!!

9 years ago, I met a good guy... i went to cubs with him... and we went out for 3 years.

I lost contact and we broke it off after 3 years of knowing each other... and I recently found and caught up with him.. after 5 years. I realised then.. that I hadn't been with anyone since.. at all.. since him. Whether its because I still love him or have feelings for him... I dont know... but he has moved on.. and has a girl friend.. and then there's me. All alone.

However.. recently.. I have known this guy for nearly 5 years.. and never paid much attention to him.. but recently felt like I love him.. and I feel so happy with him. I have never felt this happy about someone... ever.. and I just wanna be with him.

My advice.. if you love someone.. and can't get them out of your head.. you're meant to be with them. If you want to love some one... but can't... and everything goes wrong.. then I don't think it's supposed to be.. no matter how much you love them and want it to work.

Good luck sweety

I guess you never actually really know when a relationship is over. love can act in such different ways and we never really know what the future could hold

The relationship is over but the love is still there
Im in love with my ex too... ever since i first met him. Ill never feel the same about anyone else and i still pray we end up together. However, you learn to move on and find someone that makes you happy and loves you for who you are.
Statistically speaking, there are 7 people out there that could be your true love. So you've got another 6 left :)

^Ditto. Theres no relationship....but theres still emotion. I really like this question. It is out of the box and something different.

Breaking up is hard stuff. No matter what kind of situation it is. It's difficult and not an easy thing to get over. But I say its over when you finally have no left over feelings for each other...which can take a heck of alot of time. It can take up to a year if your that kind of person and had that kind of relationship. They hurt.

And like ^ said....you move on and you find someone different from the other person ; they work out for you.

Like last year, I was in this amazing relationship that lasted for about 1 year and it took me almost 6 months to be totally and completley over him. It was hard and it took soo much strength. But then, thankfully, a year later I found a great guy. He respects me and he gives me that happy feeling :D lol haha trust me...if I can find someone, you can!

The truth is its over when it over
whats the point in getting back together that you either hurt or got hurt by honestly if your break up once its not meant to be
you know how they say if you love some you should set them free if they dont come back its meant to be

well if they do then its still not if they are supposed to love you they wouldnt leave

A relationship is never over....stalk them to the grave
