How can I move on from a broken relationship?

There is no pain greater than breaking up. A million and one reminders of the person haunt you. You also alternate between wanting to get back or get over your ex and move on with your life. Our mind tends to go back and analyze, but that gives more pain. A fact of life: "Relationships are TOUGH. Each Person wants something and it doesn't always fit in with what the other One wants".

One should just drop the whole period of relationship from the mind. As if it never existed. Difficult!!!, but if you try it, you can do. It's important to see the end of a relationship as the beginning of a new chapter in your life. Here are a few tips on how to move on with your life.

1. Be Nice To Yourself - Breakups happen. Actually, they're a normal part of life. It's important to cut yourself some slack when you're feeling vulnerable and rejected. Let yourself mourn the loss, and remember that you don't have to be perfect all of the time—or any of the time. Nobody is!

2. Accept Your Single Status - Getting over your ex is virtually impossible if you're fantasizing about getting back together. It's important to learn how to be happy as a single person before you start to date again. Watch a cheesy movie you would never admit to liking. Switch off your cell phone at the time your ex used to call. Perform a cleansing ritual, such as throwing away his yearbook photos, cards or deleting his mushy e-mails. You'll be amazed how much better you'll feel.

3. Recognize and Release Your Feelings - Breakups can cause a range of unpleasant feelings, from deep sadness to intense anger. It's important to identify what you're feeling, acknowledge that it hurts, then let it go. If struggling with the "letting go" part, try writing get all the things you wanted to say out of your system, transferring destructive and depressing thoughts from your mind on a piece of paper, then ripping it up. When you're feeling really awful, take a nap or go for a walk or do Yoga or join a sport it helps ease the pain and break the cycle of negative thoughts. In general, try to get your demons out in a constructive way, such as sports, music, art or journaling.

4. It's also OK - To cry, scream and complain about how bad you feel. Find a secluded place to get out the nastiest feelings or seek out friends/family to lend a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on.

5. Remember Your Ex's Flaws - It's easy to get teary-eyed thinking about his adorable brown eyes or answering the phone. But what about your ex's not-so-great qualities? Also remind yourself just how annoying, boring or insensitive your ex could be, and you'll be on your way to recovery.

6. Resist the Urge To Contact Him - The worst parts of a breakup is the loneliness. Use all the willpower you've got to resist calling your ex when you're feeling lonely and sad. Look for new sources of support among friends, family members, counselors and online support groups.NO SNOGGING PLEASE- Least you land up Tarnishing your image and close all avenues of reconciliation with your Ex.

7. Get a New Hobby - Now you have a lot of freedom to try new things. Indulge yourself in some activities that didn't interest your ex, whether it's sport activity, ballet or bird watching. Take a photography class, start writing poetry or join a club that interests you. You'll meet new people and feel good about yourself, which will attract both friends and admirers.

8. Don't Obsess About What Went Wrong - Many breakups don't have a specific cause. They tend to happen when two people have been growing apart for a while. This isn't to say you shouldn't reflect on what you could have done differently in the relationship, but it's not helpful to dwell on the whys and wherefores.

9. Think positively and Don't Stay Bitter - "If you think you are beaten. You are". "If you think you dare not, You don't". Success begins with your own will. It's all in your state of mind. Also Remember "Not all men are the same" Being bitter is normal -- it's simply a stage you are going to go through. But move past it quickly.

10. Don't Lose Faith in People - Stick to your friends and acquaintances and try to find joy in every facet of your day and things will get better. It's important not to lose faith in other human beings.

11. Strictest Rule to Follow - "No Sex With Ex" - When this happens, keep one thing in mind: YOU BROKE UP. You will never get over your ex if the two of you have sex after the break up. Repeat to yourself: "NO SEX WITH EX".

My advice: Relationships aren't perfect, and every time a relationship ends, it hurts. The key, though, is to learn from each relationship and figure out what worked and what didn’t, so we make better choices the next time. And as of now >>Instead of focusing on the past, live in the moment and begin to dream about the future. Good Luck>r

It's not easy it take time for your little heart to heal you have to move on , don't stay in your room go out to the mall find something to do something you enjoy doing, you need a good laughter , watch your favorite movie,go to the beach laughter and talk with ur Friends with you dog are cat do thing that will make you happy

Do you see him in your regular schedule of work/school? (if possible, try changing your schedule to avoid seeing him as much). You could try some new activities / hobbies to keep your mind busy (it's usually when you have down-time, when you have too much time to think that your mind wanders to such topics and causes you to dwell on them for awhile). Keeping busy will keep your mind off of him and give you time to heal.

Unfortunately, only time will help with getting over him. Some might suggest jumping into another relationship to take your mind off of this - but this type of "rebound" behavior really isn't fair to whomever you enter into a relationship with. You need time to heal.

Best of luck!!

Get over yourself. It sounds like you did not give him a chance. Personal differences are what make relationships unique.

think of the bad things. what made you frustrated, and maybe you'll find yourself liking someone else and not continuing to be faithful to the memories he's engraved on your heart
