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 have to see it as there was a reason for the breakup and whatever you guys did is for the better for the both of u guys. So the only way to move on from here is to be happy that you did the right thing in the given situation :)

I totally understand you... I went through something very similar this past year. I guess I had to learn that I don't need to hate a person or feel disrespected by that person to move on. The relationship came to an end because of a certain reason. I had to honor that reason, respect myself and respect the other person. I know it's hard to move on when you still don't see any bad in the other person... I mean... when you still put that person on a pedestal, kind of. So I guess the only thing one can do is wait and get involved in some projects to take one's mind out of that place... Just refocus on you and on what you can do to make yourself feel good without being with that person and learn to love yourself (if you don't already). =)

You don't need to hate him to move on, Just move on because you did your best, and who know? maybe life is hiding someone so much better for you.

Sometimes in life, we meet people who we really connect with, but we cannot be in a relationship with them. It sounds like you and your ex-boyfriend love each other but you two broke up due to some fundamental differences. When we think of love, we often think that we have to be with that specific person in order to be happy. However, letting that person go can also be a form of love. By letting that person go, we are saying "I love you enough that I want you to find happiness with someone other than me." You do not have to hate someone for you to break up with them. Sometimes, irreconcilable differences are enough of a reason to leave a relationship, because you two people are not on the same page.

There must have been a reason for your breakup if not hatred. This happens at times. Sometimes, some people are not meant to be, no matter how perfect they could be with each other. Accept facts and be ready to move on. Yes, it is going to be really hard for both of you. But remember- life is never perfect, sometimes it can be mean. Not just for you, but for all. If not this, something else is bothering everyone at some point of time. So, be ready to accept facts and move on. If life was perfect there won't be any reason for happiness. Take care :)

Try to remember the reason that you guys broke up in the first place, and try to distract your self with hanging out with your friends.

You don't need to hate someone to move on. You just need to start loving, someone else. Basically replace him. It sounds super harsh but it's much easier way to explain it. Just look for what was wrong in him, Look for what is good in other guys. Never compare others and him. It's never good. Just find someone else you might j like just as well to keep from thinking of "him".

That for sure can be a tough and tricky situation to deal with. If you've had a solid reason, like I believe you have since you've said you HAD to break up, then make sure you remember that reason. And every time you think about him or you want to talk to him or get back with him, remember your reason and why is it important and why it caused you to break up in the first place. It sure will be tough, especially because you two love each other still but it all depends on how solid your reason for break up is. Starting from there, you can "train" yourself and your mind and be more confident in the decision you've made.
