How can I move on when almost half of my life I've spent it with this person that I've broken up with?

Try to concentrate on yourself. There is a reason, why you broke up. Get clear for yourself, which needs were not met during your relationship and try to find strategies to take care for your needs. Meet friends that could give you a warm, benevolent feedback and with whom you could connect in an open, sincere conversation as well as in just having fun together. Step by step start with thinking in terms of "I" instead of "we". Learn to enjoy the time with yourself, it could be quality time. Take your time to find out what YOU want: Avoid the trap, to fill the gap you might feel by filling it with someone else. Until you did not find out what went wrong it might not be the best way to figure out what you want for your future. From my own experience: everything, that let me get in touch with my inner self, helped a lot! Ask yourself, what you need in these different realms: your body, your mind and your soul. The more you get in touch with this, the better you could find out for yourself how to fulfill these needs. Enjoy to play and find sides in yourselves you never new before...

Well, just try to live your life the same you were doing before you two got into a relationship. I know that it's going to be hard trust me I know especially when you truly love someone. I have been there before going through it now, but it will just take you some time to get use to being without him/her. If you still have this person in your heart and can't get over him/her no matter what.. then pray on it and let fate run it's course. If it's meant to be it'll be. Time heals all.

I know how very hard it can be to move on and start over after sharing so much with another person.

you have to be willing to find out who you are as an individual, independent of him or her. find something you like about your independence and embrace it. It could be that it empowers you, or inspires you or simply just challenges you to be independent.

One day at a time. Each day make decisions to validate yourself and to not stay hung up on the relationship (easier said than done, I know) but it just takes time and making simple decisions every day.

Take it one day at the time, try not to rush things and just think of the positive things that you have in life.

Hey I know its hard to move on because you and your partner have shared so many memories together, but think about the reason why you guys broke up, and think back to the moment where you have decided to end this relationship. You don't need to forget about your relationship with him completely, but you gotta know that maybe by ending it, you can regain yourself again. Your life does not just made up of the memories you have with your partner, you have a whole amazing life right in front of you. By stepping outside the relationship and sadness, you enter a wonderful wold in which you will find more amazing things Moving on from someone who you've spent so much time together with is scary, but what you are gonna experience when you did is gonna be so worth it and you will have such a bliss. Theres no one that can tell you how you can move on and do it, you are the only one who can think of that answer and make a decision to go out into a much more wonderful life or dwell on the past. xx

Just like the other person did. If he picked up the threads I should too, it just showed I meant nothing to him and I deserve better, may it be life or partner.

Like everything in life healing takes time. Don't rush it and do things you enjoy but also don't be afraid to show emotion. Keeping your feelings inside do more harm than good.

You have to realize for whatever reason the relationship was broken off that you are worth it and that you deserve the best. You have to be strong throughout the struggles with getting over him/her. You can spend time with friends, go to a movie (I suggest not a love story ,a comedy), go exercise; anything to get your mind on something else besides the break up.
