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?

Sometimes there are good reasons for moving on, without either of you being "in the wrong". What's so bad about valuing the person for their benefits and the good times you shared, without demonizing them?

You don't need to find a reason to hate said person in order to move on from them. Breaking up with someone you still love is one of the most difficult things you can do. You just need to keep reminding yourself of why you broke up. Find new hobbies, spend less time with them, slowly start to move on.

There are so many people that you need to find another person, perhaps ten people similar to him. If the love is not mutual, keep meeting new people. Keep meeting new people.

Oh man, that's a good question. Even if the romantic relationship didn't work out, you can still be good friends and maybe later down the road it may resolve itself.

First of all, I wouldn't suggest that you try to hate him. Hate is unhealthy and causes issues in and of themselves. Remind yourself of the reasoning as to why the breakup had to happen and how it will benefit you both, assuming that it will.

Don't hate. Let hate go. Let time take you away.

you'll have to remember why you broke up with him in the first place. surely there must be a reason as to why you guys broke up (even though the love was mutual). you don't need to "hate" him to move on. you just need to stop having any sort of strong feelings (love/hate) for him. in time you'll be able to stop thinking about him and that's when you'll finally move on :) it takes time.

There must have been a reason you broke up with him. Focus on that, and remember him as that. That might help you get over him.

Don't? When I hear "had to" I hear a bad reason. If it's a temporary thing, call a cease-fire. Let your love go dormant till that temporary thing passes, then get back together again and keep going.

It not easy, it never is. But perhaps you can take this time to focus on achieving a goal of yours or starting a new hobby.
