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?

Well if you feel like you had no choice but to break up with him, then you probably didn't love him as much as you think you did? Or something was wrong in the relationship and you must have partly disliked him or a part of him. It's similar to hatred if you process it that way. Moving on shouldn't be a problem if you were the one who was so confident about ending it, and you shouldn't have to worry about hating him since there is a part of you that already did if you feel like you "had to". Don't try and put the hatred on him, it was all your idea, not his. Acceptance is the only key to moving on.. even if it means accepting the blame

There had to be a reason why you broke up with him. Even individuals in love are not always suited for each other and a long term relationship. As far as the moving on...you must remember that when all is said and done....you and you alone are responsible for how your life will be and the amount of happiness it will contain. If the reason you broke up with him is something you feel cannot be fixed..then you need to move on and remember the best parts of being with him, and hate to me is off the table. But you cannot go back and forth..the break my be final...no looking back or second thoughts.

You do not have to hate someone to move on, it takes time. The main thing is to be content in your current situation, find yourself in the life without him, and realise that it is not so bad.

If you had to, then you know your own reasons and be proud that you were courageous enough to make the decision. Not everyone will leave their comfort zone. But you have to be realistic with your expectations. It will take a whIle until you will be completely moved on because our brains have a way of getting used to what's familiar. You will move on when you will be ready. And be glad that you didn't reach the point of the relationship when you hated him. That means that you had enough self-esteem to let go before things got too bad. You know what you deserve and you are not afraid to go after it. Keep in mind the reasons that made you take the decision and be happy with yourself that you still have a kind attitude towards him, that you can appreciate what was good but you have your own journey to take.

Everything happens for good. If we have to let go anyone then definitely there's a good reason ahead of it.

Think about yourself! You broke up with him for a reason! Figure that out and go from there. Maybe there is someone or something better coming into your life!

If you really believe in this love you should fight for it. It will make you feel personally better. Trust me all things undone left behind ache. But living it in the Maximum is the secret meaning of life

You can remain friends with them if you still love them because friends love each other too. You can slowly find a reason to be, without them.
