I broke up with him even though I do love him and he loves me. I had to! How can I move on from someone I can't find a reason to hate?

Many people who come into our lives aren't meant to stick around forever. Ultimately, you decided that you and your boyfriend weren't compatible and that's okay. Not every relationship ends due to negative reasons such as betrayal. It's actually good that you don't have a reason to hate him. You can cherish the memories you had with him and appreciate the chapter you shared together. Understand that a new chapter is starting and that you're meant to move on without him. In accepting that, you will be able to make peace with letting go him and the whole relationship.

I broke up with someone i love too... ik it hurts us to move on fast but not moving on will hurt u too... sooner or later u will realise that you will have to move on.. you dont need to find a reason to move on.... all you need is time... time is the best healer.. trust me on this time helps a lot.. for me personally it helped me to move on without getting too much hurt. i know you love him and you love him.. you had that reason thought right... maybe think of that reason it might help you move on.. trust me though time is the best healer

You do not have to hate someone to move on. I understand that sometimes even though you both love each other, certain circumstances compel you to leave each other. Love is not the only thing which is needed in a relationship. You do not have to find reasons to hate him, nor do you need another boyfriend to get over him. You have to accept the decision you made and think of all the reasons which made you take this decision. It is not easy to forget everything about a person and move on, but that is fine. Give yourself time, I am sure things will get better for you :)

Sometimes you are forced to do things that you don't want to do and I am so sorry that you had to experience this. Unfortunately, all you can do is give yourself and him space and time. It helps if you are able to immerse yourself in a hobby such as painting, jogging, singing, meditation, etc. There is no easy solution or quick fix for the feelings you feel for each other. There is no need to hate him even if you are no longer together. Embrace the happy memories you had together and take all the time you need to heal.

Moving on is a process, so it takes time. Sometimes love is not enough to make relationship works. There is no need for you to hate the person in order to unlove them. Only time can heal all the wounds. Breaking up does not necessarily means you have to remove all the connections with him, including the memories because even for once you knew in yourself that he makes you feel happy and loved. Just focus on yourself right now, explore and get busy on the things that matters the most. Do exercise to unwind, spend time with family and friends, learn more about your work or try things you haven’t tried before. Start again with self love and self worth.
