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?

You don't have to hate someone for it not to be right. If you have to end its, there's good reason, and moving on is best for both of you so you can find somewhere where you don't unintentionally hold the other back.

Time you need time and distance, you need to distract your feelings for him so need some space between you for a while before you even start to think about becoming friends

I don't think you're required to hate this person. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't fully understand how you necessarily have to hate anyone. You can still be in love with him. If it's your parents who have a problem with him, you might want to try to figure out why that is.

Just because we break up with someone doesn't mean that we have to hate them. When we are in relationships we share our lives with the other person and sometimes things end. This doesn't mean that we become enemies or that we hate the other person. Remember the reason that you decided to end the relationship and think forward

Well if you two broke up even though you still love each other, I assume it was because of outside circumstances you couldn't control? If I knew more about the situation I could give more detailed advice, but I can give some general advice on moving on. I would say try occupying yourself with other hobbies, spend time with your friends, and focus on your obligations like work, school etc. And of course self-care is important too. If you find yourself thinking about him and missing him I wouldn't try repressing those thoughts, just try and let it pass because repressing feelings usually make them stronger and it's a lot of unnecessary stress. Anyway I hope things go well for you.

Realize that happened for the best.. You know yourself and your relation with him better and if you think it was the right thing to do then know that you just have to walk away from him no matter what.. However, If you both love each other then maybe you should just go get him and deal with the mess later.. Life is too short to play games and besides, If you look for the reasons not to be with somebody, you are always gonna end up finding them

You don't need a hurting reason for you to get over someone. You just need to realize that there is some people that come into our life to show us a lesson, to be a chapter in our life, but they can't come here we are going to. There's a huge difference between getting over someone and forgetting about them, only the first one is necessary.

You don't have to hate a person for you to move on. Acknowledging the fact that you two's paths had crossed, and the journey between you two had ended. Accept that you still love him and he reciprocates. But now is not a good time anymore. Bless him with his future. And cut out all contacts with him for the upcoming months.

Continue to tell yourself that there was a reason you had to walk away and that you deserve better, even if the love is still mutual. But not all relationships are meant to last.

Try and get distracted? Because distractions can help us forget about our ex boyfriends sometimes.
