I can't forget my ex, how do you move on?

My boyfriend, well ex boyfriend now, broke up with me about a month ago, because apparently i'm too obsessive for him. At first i feel like crap, hating him and all that but i realize now that i have to move on. I have trouble moving on though, because i still love him. I dunno about him, i heard he already flirted with a girl he just met at a club. How do you move on, please help?

    hearing about his flirting just makes you jealous. Don't listen to drivel like that, ignore it. I loved my ex-wife for 13 years after I re-married, then I realized she never really loved me. We rarely spoke after the divorce, (I hated her new husband for stealing her from me) when we did, she was pleasant but always asked for something. Money mostly. I paid child support for 25 years, because during hard times (unemployment, low paying jobs, etc) the child support keeps adding up. She wanted every last penny, she said I owed her, even though I adopted one of our(hers when I met her) daughters during the year were married.

    Bottom line is, love is a 2 way street, but love is blind. Compare your relationship with him. Did he do things for you as often as you did for him? Or did you do everything for him and loved doing it. Too obsessive? Is there such a thing? Sounds like he wanted his freedom.

    You'll probably never get over him, but at least you aren't ruining your children's lives with a 28 year war. Move on, try not to think about him. Busy yourself with things in your own life. Boredom is not your friend. Be obsessive about work. Think of how much you will accomplish.

    Like I say, let time take it's course. You can't forget someone and move on so quickly... I've had the same experience before. And that thing you heard about him flirting, it may be false. Rumors aren't always true just to remind you. So hang in there just for a little longer. You'll be surprised when the pain is gone that you ever felt anything at all. I wish you luck! : )

    You move on one day at a time. You stay busy. You eat a hot fudge sundae. You focus on your education. Get into a great college, Secure a productive career. Surround yourself with good friends. And someday you fall in love with someone all over again. You'll never forget this guy, ever, but you do move on.

    You must learn how not to be obsessive the next time. Well, you learn a hard lesson.

    If you don't control your obsessive behavior, you'll get dumped time and time again.

    hi it may take you longer than it took him.but you have to put yourself back out in the field.and start meeting different people and no matter how hard it may be you have to put him in the back of your mind.and don't go to the places where you know he will be.i know you still love him and everything but love hurts but you have to get your self someone to take him off your mind.good luck to you .and please don't dwell on everything you hear because people will tell you what they know you want to hear .sounds like you deserve better anyway.good luck

    i don't know if this will work.....you could try talking to other guys. Maybe go out with someone else. it might help you forget about the one guy you like. Good luck!!!

    Find other people to hang out with. Date other people and you'll start to forget them. Or be distracted at least.

    flirt with some guy right in front of him.

    PROVE your not obsessive by showing you don't need him.

    he'll come to you.

    if not, then keep flirting with the guy and maybe start something:)
