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?

Breaking up with someone isn't about hatred in fact splitting from a partner should never be about hate and the fact you're going your separate ways without those feelings is a real achievement. I was in a similar relationship where I loved my girlfriend deeply however we had so much conflict and lack of stability I knew we needed to go our own way. The breakup was awful and I pined for her almost a year but still knowing it was the right decision. Keep busy, find a new hobby or passion or volunteer (I found it really helped) Remember the reason you're no longer together and be at peace with that no matter how tough it is at first. Your wellbeing needs to come above everything else and next time you meet someone you'll be in good position to fall in love again. Almost 2 years later, me an my ex text occasionally and update each other on our lives, talk about the pets and family. I describe the feeling as if we're both sitting at separate coffee tables in a cafe and from across the room we glance up and warmly smile at each other, then back to our lives. I hope you find this helpful.

There is no need to hate someone in order to move on from that relationship, it surely might make things seem more easy, but it is not necessary. If you made the decision of braking up with him, is because you had your reasons, there might be things that will show you that you made the right decision that will reinforce it. So give yourself time, try to talk as little as possible with him (if you really want to move on) and find yourself in-merged doing more things that wont imply remembering him, such as doing things you like that you couldn't do with him because he didn't liked doing such things, etc.

Relationships can be complicated, sometimes people feel strong feelings towards someone, yet feel that the relationship is not what they need at the moment. A relationship is based on communication nd trust and if you are unable to give someone that then you should do what is best for you and them. Perhaps you should take some time and consider why you are unable to be in a relationship with the person you love. If you are able to explain to them why then communicating your feelings to them will hopefully lower any feelings of animosity. Trying to find reasons to hate someone if they had done nothing wrong is unfair on them and you. Instead take ownership of the breakup and try to find what the problem is and work on that. Breakups are not always about blame.

Moving on from someone can be very challenging,and when you have no reason to hate them its even harder.Loving someone can be a great thing,it can have a lot of pros but also a bunch of cons.When we are told to move on from someone without a valid reason,its hard.We don't want to let go of that person but sometimes we need to no matter how much you guys love eachother.It won't be easy but it will take time and it will take a lot of strength,you don't need reasons to hate them if you want to let them go,there's no point if they did nothing wrong.Maybe it wasn't your time and place but you know what I promise you it will get better.Just move on peacefully or maybe you don't even have to,just depends on the situation.

You remember what is best for you sometimes doesn’t feel like the best. You don’t have to hate a person just to move on. You should look at it as you are doing this for you and you only and even though it hurts someone you love, if they truly love you they will want you to be happy and if not being able together is what has to happen then that person will let you go and both parties will agree to move on so that they do not stop eachother from their path they are choosing to follow. Yes it will hurt and feel unfair but the love will overcome that the pure love to let someone go.

The best way is to be true to yourself, understand why things had to be done so you can move on with no regrets.

Thinking of your future you seem to feel it is the right decision to disconnect from this relationship and so will be stronger now to take action while you are in a positive place with going forward in and changing your future for the best. If it is a decision you both seem to regret then maybe you could meet up and talk it through to see how you are both feeling and why you feel the situation came about and where you both feel it can lead?

Sometimes relationships don't always work, you don't need to hate an ex or be angry when you see them, it is okay and totally normal, the best way for me is to get a hobby, something silly to take your mind of it, if its building a figure or binge watching a TV show, after you will feel better

moving on wont be an easy thing! but you can move on by just being atleast friends with him! stay as you were earlier it would be hard thing too but much more easier then the earlier step of moving on! or you can move on by just distracting yourself from the thoughts of him and your past, by being you as you were earlier, earlier too you must had a life that you used to live, do what makes you interesting what makes you love, as well as do things which makes your mind distracted or start working on something cool! or go out with your friends cousins or family which will not make you feel alone! and accept the situations and the facts happily!
