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?

Accept the fact that the person is great. You do not need to hate someone to be able to move on. I think the quicker you accept the easier it becomes. Because the more you try to find faults and flaws they more that person stays on your mind.

I have been through the same experience. Who says you need to hate him. Moving on doesn't mean you have to move on to the next person. Moving on can be just having your time. Having time to build yourself and do the things you love. It's gonna take time and I know you probably heard it's "gonna take time" many times but it will take time to move forward. Always remember why you broke up with him and think about why you wanna move on without him etc

you need to love yourself more and keep in mind why you left him and your relationship priorities that he lacked and how you two could never be happy and groom yourself to be a better individual

I have been in this situation and am currently going through it. Sometimes you end up breaking up from someone because you are at different stages in your life. It can be long distance, career plans or just sometimes life! Its hard to move on from someone you love but think about whether you love them or are in love with them. There is a slight difference between the two. If you really feel it could work and you just need time and space away from one another see where the time takes you see what time shows you. It can be so hard because time does take a while, and it can feel slow or that feeling of forever! Trust in yourself and if you believe it can work then discuss this see where the conversation takes you. At the moment I am not with my partner that could all change in the future. We love each other but we aren't in love with each other, I thought I'd share my entire life with him but now I am not so sure. These things do happen and it can feel horrible and upsetting. but time really will heal. It certainly has for me.

Time is the only solution, you can't forget , you will still mis him and also you can't unlove someone, time is the only solution, i know it is hard but it will get better.

Simply knowing that if your intentions and heart were in a honest place, then that could be a determining factor in whether it was a great decision. If you feel like something better could happen for the both of you, then it shouldn't be such a conflict.

Well clearly you broke up with him for an obvious reason. I broke up with someone once who I knew it was the right thing to do and I wanted them happy and I couldn't find a single thing to hate about them, but that didn't stop me from moving on. Some people just aren't meant for us, and that's okay. We have 7 million and counting people on this world, you'll know when someone is meant for you.

I once had a girlfriend who I loved. A LOT. And for some unknown reason, she loved me too. We were schoolmates, and saw each other regularly. I was in a little bit of a rut, and had extreme emotions. I felt as if I wasn't good enough for her, so I broke up with her. I remember her tears... I cried just as much. However, I managed to move on by focusing on music and staying with my friends. I'd see her a lot of the time, and it would pain me, but I managed to step forward by trying to pull myself out of the rut that caused me to break up with her. It really is difficult to move on, though. First, I had to accept I was having difficulty moving on. You can't ignore that fact. After accepting that, I slowly found it easier and easier to not feel that sharp, sudden sadness in my chest every time I saw her.

Moving on from somebody does not mean you have to date them. Sometimes the people we love the most, are the ones we are the best without. Try to remember all the good memories and take them with you, learn from the mistakes, and let time heal your wounds. Sometimes being in a relationship craves much more than just love. So try to spend time with yourself taking care of you, and keep in mind that If you had to break up, you have to stick to the reasons behind that.

One of the hardest decisions is to leave someone that you love however know that a relationship cannot work. Moving on is highly personal and individualised there is no set time our course. What I would encourage is a safe space to vent and share you feelings with those that can nurture and nourish your growth.
