How can I get over my ex?

My ex broke up with me apparently because he wanted to sleep around.. After breaking up with me, we stayed friends and still hang out.. Though I still have strong feelings for him and I just wish I could get over him! I get nervous when I find out he's in the same area and when he hangs out with other girls... I'm starting to get extremely depressed over it.. I've tried not talking to him, but I can't help but do it! I've even tried to get over him by meeting new people but it just doesn't work... I don't know what to do!!

    Honey...you don't deserve a guy just because he wants to 'sleep around'. You are a strong and independent girl and it's normal to feel depressed after an break up but don't stay sad for so long. Hang out with your besties and go shopping, ice cream perhaps? So you've tried not talking to him? Well that isn't all that bad you know when you talk to him just stay calm and collected if you over-react just because his hanging around with other girls then it would be hard to get over him won't it? Just don't care about him anymore and move on. Good luck to you :)

    As much of a jerk as he is for leaving you to contract STD's, you should be thanking your lucky stars that he wasn't doing all of this behind your back. You would be hurting twice as bad if he would have kept you around, and you found out he was cheating.

    To be honest, the only way I was able to get over my ex was by giving it time and meeting someone else. I realize this hasn't worked for you yet, but when you meet someone you become attached to, your ex will slowly stop being on your mind. Start talking to new guys, and once you meet the right person, your ex will only be a part of your past, and nothing more.

    Stay strong, and I hope this helped <3.

    Whoaaaa.... RED FLAG. If he doesn't wanna stay true to you, but instead wants to sleep around, leave him. You'll find a guy who is good in bed AND treats you like a queen. Don't stick with a scrub who is bound to get AIDs. Pray that he does. Wouldn't that be a slap in the face and a kick in the dick, hm?
