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?

It was hard, but it was right. I rationalized my decision and never let my heart enter. At that time I tried to find other men to replace his place in my heart but trust me that's the last thing that should come into your mind, it's toxic in a lot of ways and will never let your urge settle. Moving on doesn't mean to jump on other people to satisfy yourself, moving on means to keep letting that feeling stay with you (because no matter how much you try you can not forget your true love) and continuing with your daily life with courage and stability. The best way that worked for me was my ambition towards my passion. I started working on various things of my interests for hours longer than it was required just to keep my mind distracted, and it worked. I socialized more with friends and family who can keep me happy and satisfied so that I did not feel the need of craving for love and remembering the person who gave in to that purpose. I started being with people who did not know about my condition because that's when the people are genuine with you and not only show love for the sake of sympathizing or condolences, being around positive people helps alot to subside the emotions that are existent but irrational.

Well even though you love each other, there must be some reason that you broke up with him? Did something feel off? Was there an important issue that you disagreed on? Was timing or distance an issue? Moving on from any breakup is tough and you have to take it day by day. But I would recommend focusing on what caused you to end your relationship. That might give you peace with your decision and hope to move on and find the person who is right for you. Not hating your ex is not a bad thing and I think that speaks to the loving and healthy relationship it sounds like you had.

It's possible to move on from a relationship without hating them. You deserve self-love, you deserve that attention and energy instead, not the other person in the relationship. In fact, it's possible that treating yourself genuinely and being open-minded to future encounters of the heart will slowly but surely speed things along. Ultimately, you cannot control how long your grieving process for this relationship will be, but you will feel free from it eventually, remember. It takes a different amount of time for each person and each relationship. It may seem like it will never be the same, but you will be surprised later at how okay you will be! Be well and good luck!

Even though it was not forever, that doesn't mean it was not magical. Get over it for your own goodness. Cherish the memories & carry yourself with dignity. Respect his needs. GIve yourself some time and be kind to yourself. Go through the emotion in order to heal dont escape the moments of sadness. Trust me next time you wont go through all these, Universe will attract the best one for you, for that you have to radiate positivity, kindness, & love. It is okay, move on and get things done, stop sobbing. Shine brighter & make your life glorious.

You don't need to hate someone to move on. If you have to move on then you already know the reason. You need to remind yourself and accept the reason to move on and let time play its part. Slowly and steadily you will learn to be yourself and accept the truth and move on without realizing that you have. It might be hard at the start and will make you feel weak and push you to go back, but that is where true spirit of will is needed to not go back and accept the reality today for a better tomorrow.

Remind yourself. Remind yourself. Remind yourself. It can be so difficult to move on from someone who you have no reason to move on from. When all you have is good memories to pull you back in. However, there's a reason you ended things in the first place, a reason you knew deep down that things aren't meant to be. So keep reminding yourself of than and be gentle with yourself. Moving on from someone doesn't have a set time, but it often takes longer than we think- you're essentially mourning a living being, mourning a memory of something good. So, be kind to yourself and remind yourself of the reason you did it in the first place.

You don't have to hate someone to move on from them! Remember the reason you broke up with him, and think about whether it was worth it. If it was, then you've found your reason to move on. If it wasn't, then it is up to you what you do about it. My point is that you don't need to hate or even dislike an ex in order to move on from the relationship. You just need to be sure of why you ended it, because if it was a good enough reason for you then that is valid in and of itself.

It’s always going to take time into the healing process. You may never be able to fully move on from someone, but there is always a time where you feel content with the decision you made. Whatever the reason may be for you to break up with him, you always have that reason to why you did it. Learn from it, and become a better person. Talk to friends and/or family through it, and take time to yourself. Remember the reason to why you thought it was the best to break things off and that in the end you will be alright

It's a bit confusing that you "had to" break up, yet can't move on. Sometimes, we know in our heart that it just isn't going to work. It hurts but we break it off. In these kind of scenarios, we usually move on quite easily (in time) because we know it is the right thing to do. It feels like there is something (or someone) else in between you two. Maybe a third party or situation where you being together would be an issue for other people. This would explain the feeling of you needing to break up but not want to. We only live one life (well, this time around, anyway) and you have to be a little selfish and put your needs before others, sometimes. Think about what it is that is preventing you from moving on. If two people love each other, it is always worth pursuing.

Being mindful of what "moving on" means as well as our expectations of break-ups can help in how we narrate the story of ourselves. Some things we know as facts and yet conflict with how we feel. You don't have to hate someone to break up with them. Breaks up, even if we are certain is the best choice, aren't easy to deal with. Moving on a process. - Sometimes it's the uneasy feelings that arise that bring up a lot of self doubt in our decisions. So it's important to ask ourselves, if we know the uneasy feelings will pass one day, would we still make the same choice? And if we know it's normal to feel "stuck" on someone for a certain of amount of time, do we believe we deserve what we want? - Wherever there is resistance, is an opportunity to grow from.
