How do I stop this madness?

I have been with a girl for 3 years. We split up a few months ago. I really loved and still love her, and there is just nothing I can do about it. I know there's no future for us, but still, I want nothing else but to be with her. Actually "feel like I love her" as you put it, is even more accurate.

So I have sort of the same problem. This will hurt and be difficult, and you probably will make some mistakes, but it seems you already know what to do - get out and forget about it. Let's hope the both of us will make it.

First there is NOTHING wrong with you. You will always love that person and it will never fully go away, however you need to do better for yourself. You deserve to be treated with respect and have the same love you feel reciprocated back to you. If things haven't changed this long they never will. It will be hard to leave and even more hard to stay away but in the long run it will make you a better person.

As long as you have people there for you to keep you strong you will stand your ground.

honestly i feel the same way ive been datiiong this girl for 5 months and she feels like she can do and say what she wants ...thats wrong...all u have to do is just try and move on ur a beautiful young women who can have any man she wants good luck :)

you need to fill the gap. that way you wont quickly run back in the relationship. its true, we quickly look at some one else instead of our selves... so Analyze your self...asking your self questions is a good way to find out... then do something about... like hanging out with good friends, reading and stuff like that =). its not going to be easy... but weigh the pros and cons. in the end it will work out ;)

it can always be a lil difficult to practice what we preach but being with someone for eight years and still havin feelings for him is normal, pending on your relationship youll probably always love him in a way

STOP IN THE NAME OF LOVE.

If you are not kill your self, the time will cure everything.
