I can't get over my ex boyfriend. What should I do?

It sounds cliche, but time. Time is the best healer, and also the only healer. You can't force yourself over someone, the only thing you can do is keep yourself busy and distracted to keep you as happy as possible, and eventually you will find that you think about him less and less. Eventually you will meet somebody else, somebody who is perfect for you, and you will realise why the other relationship failed, so that you could find him - the one.

Block him on all social media and avoid him in every way possible ,trust me this works.stop going to places y'all used to hang out at.delete all conversations and pictures y'all had.

Breakups can be really tough. It can get you into real depression and can even indulge you in self hate and make you suicidal. But remember always that you once had a life (wonderful) even before a relationship and there are certain things in life that you don't have control over. So rather than fighting with yourself in the process of getting over your boyfriend, it is perhaps the best to understand that missing your ex is normal, really. But that shouldn't stop you from moving ahead in life and looking for more beautiful things that pass by you everyday which are now going unnoticed. If it was meant to be, it would have happened anyway. Try to appreciate yourself and see what wonders does it really bring to your life.

Relationships take time to build, but when they end, they also take time to disappear from your heart. Take that time to reflect and gain a better understanding of your situation.

Its not unusual, after all you used to be close together and feel bout each other, so its better talking to him and say what you feel, maybe he feels the same and you can still be together :)

take each day as it comes you will have good days and bad days but remember why you broke up remember why you were unhappy and keep moving forward make sure no contact and delete social medias you dont need to be seeing what they are doing its going to make it so much harder than needs be

Letting go can be hard to do. But everything in life always come and gone, and we pass it through. Why do you think you cant get over your ex. I am sure you can. Move on your life and start doing things before you met him, or continue trying things you never done. Make yourself busy with something more exciting, something new, something fresh.

Breakups can be hard. Take this time to take care of yourself. It may seem like you can't get over your ex, but with time and lots of support you will get there. Everyday write a few things you like about yourself and say them out loud to yourself. This will help build your self-esteem. Remember that this will take time and you can use all of the support you can get.

Don't let yourself forget all of the reasons why the relationship didn't work. After a breakup we start missing people, forgeting the bad and remembering only the good. There is a reason why you are not together anymore. Also, it's very important to keep yourself busy, do the things you like, surrownd yourself with friends and family and connect with people, learn new things, pamper yourself. Life can be fun and beautiful, we can try our best to make it :)

keep in mind that you and your ex has nothing to do anymore. ask yourself do you still love them, do they even worth your love? life has to go on, if you do still love them and you think they worth of your love, go contact them, dont let your love got away. if they do not worth your love, dont let this bother you, you need to move on

Get icecream watch Netflix and smile!! Don't ever cry over a boy it's definitely not with it! Keep smiling guys :)

Believe it or not, you're getting over him right now. No matter what you do, no matter where you go, some part of you is getting over him. Time heals. In time, you'll look back and you'll be over him. Make sure and realize it; even if you didn't want to get over him, some part of you will definitely get over him. The pain we live with a one of our best teachers, at least in some ways. It's a beautiful thing to love someone, even if things don't work out. You still love him, and that's beautiful. You want the very best for him - even if that means a breakup. That proves that you really love him, that you're not just concerned about your own happiness. Nope. You want him to be happy, even without you. More than that though, take very good care of yourself. Do the things that you love to do. Move forward. Take that course. Study that subject. Learn that instrument. Go to the concert, the movie, the play. Be with friends. Develop and self-actualize.

Remember that it's okay to feel this way. Also remember that your worth is not dependent on whether you are in a relationship. You should practice self care: do things which make you feel good, especially things you would have been unable to do while in a relationship. Even if it feels strange, celebrate being single.

Know that you're a strong, beautiful person and ANYONE, would be greatly blessed to have you. Know that it is his loss, and take this time to love yourself, dicover yourself, and explore the world as an independent individual with no boundaries. Slau, dear, SLAY 😙

it may take time to let go but know that the memories will never fade but eventually we move on in time

Break ups are tough. Different people deal with them differently. It might involve a lot of crying, or even depression. The most important thing whilst going through a break up, I think, is to remember you are a person and as such worthy of respect. Respect yourself, and try not to do anything you will regret later. And if you do, it is not the end of the world either, it will help you grow as a person, and that is all that matters.

Revisit your memories of him and see if you still see a future with him? If not, then it is time to move on.

A breakup can signify a new beginning. Therefore, cleaning and organizing your personal space will leave you feeling refreshed and prepared for the new things to come. A mess can be overwhelming and depressing, and will just add to your stress level.[2] Keeping busy with tidying your space doesn't require a lot of brain power, but it does require just enough focus to keep you from recycling pain.

It is important to grieve the loss of the relationship and to feel and release the pain that resulted from the broken relationship. This takes time. Forgiving any hurts is another helpful piece of advice. This is not easy but you may slowly start to realize that UNforgiveness hurts you more than the other party. It may take a while to get over a relationship but even if you can see a little progress over time, I am sure that will encourage you. I have heard that grief doesn't present itself in a neat package. Sometimes it is two steps forward and three back. Time also helps but I don't necessarily think time all by itself is the answer. I hope this helps and/or encourages someone.

Getting over an ex boyfriend takes time. You should dwell on him and the breakup less and focus on yourself more! Reconnect with an old hobby, discover a new one, read books, catch up with friends, pamper yourself up, write... Reconnect with yourself!

Mourning is okay and natural. You felt deeply connected to someone. What I would do now is, focus on me. I would take some of that love you had for another and treat myself to it.

Do stuff to keep yourself occupied to not think about him. Tell yourself you deserve better and sooner or later you'll get over him. Takes time. All about timing and keeping yourself happy.

Comfort yourself, treat yourself, in this moment you are fragile, protect your heart. Get a good night's sleep, cry all the tears you need to, watch a movie, call a friend, breathe and tell yourself it will be okay, I swear it will be.

I can't get over my ex bf as well at first, but then I thought of all the ways he used to treat me, the goods and the bad. I revisited the places we used to be one last time, and everywhere I went, I left the memories that we had at the place.

Move on, if it didn't work then you need to try to find something that makes you happy and do that and be you, do you and do what you need.

Depending on how you two broke up. If it was a healthy relationship talk to your ex. If it was abusive talk to a friend or a professional counsellor and find ways to move on

The best advice for getting over someone is focusing on yourself, it may not sound helpful but in my experience when you put your head into bettering all the other aspects in your life such as work or even a hobby, you forget about the pain and start feeling better and better about yourself.

First I am sorry for the pain anyone is feeling over loosing their ex boyfriend, loosing anyone is tough. Second the misnomer of "get over" anything is possible. It's not. You can however slowly move forward, it won't happen overnight. The key is finding the real reason you can'r move forward, to do that I hope you have friends to count on. If you are reading then find someone here on 7cups you can lean on. Just talk to them about nonsense if you want. Play happy uplifting music, help someone in need. There are so many things good things you can occupy your mind wth. In the end you never want to "get over" that person. Everything has a purpose. Rejoice in the time you had, they will always be apart of you.

Meeting new people can help, more than we think. because that make us see things clearer. why should we accept the fact that we can not be with them (our exes) anymore? because some other people worth to get over these feelings, they can show us everything is easier when there is someone to walk with during this ordeal. With addition to that it will keep us busy and away from our sad feelings. of course there could be more solutions to get over an ex. Everyone has their own way of overcoming difficulties. Also, We should always ask for help from people we trust and people who seem like they care enough to listen.

Focus on yourself and your own life. Spend time and energy on improving yourself and focus on things that you like to do or experience. Work on being happy with yourself and where you are. Take steps to reach that point. Most importantly give it time, because letting go does take time. Allow yourself to let go even if it is painful. It will pass. With time it will be easier to handle. Also remember it doesn't mean you have to stop loving someone. As long as you can move forward and also be open for new people and experiences. Connect with others that you can relate with in a positive sense.
