I can't get over my ex after 5 years. What should I do?

To get over your ex of 5 years, you should first try to figure out what makes it hard for you to get over them and then try and figure out a way over that obstacle.

Find a new person and get over the old one! Or you could just call her and tell her/him how you feel about them!

Evaluate why you can't get over your ex. Is it old memories? Wishful thinking? Are you living in a situation where you are constantly reminded of him? In order to move on, good change needs to happen and most times, you should initiate it. This means that you should be open to new experiences. Go out, meet new people, pick up a new hobby, travel etc. 5 years is quite a long time to love someone from far. Perhaps it's about time for you to love and focus on yourself. You deserve it.

people always leave, no matter how hard you try to keep them, just remind yourself that you've just got one life and you deserve better, go for parties, dates, eventually you'll meet somebody who is a thousand times better.

You never will. But it will become better. What you need to know is that you will never find someone exactly like your ex. But don't shut yourself to someone new, different and maybe better. World change so do you. Don't clinge to the past. Rest of your life is in future.

try not to talk to her, When was the last tym u saw her...try to avoid that....keep spending ur tym with family and friends.

you probably cannot get over him for the simple reason that you allow him to pervade your thoughts. Once you realize that , the fact that you're no longer together, is not making you miss him but your thoughts and memories of him. Try to think of the arguments you had and the not-so pleasant memories and realize he is gone for a reason. If he hadn't at that point of time , he would eventually.

Do you still see his/her pictures? Do you still go through his/her facebook profiles? Do you still talk about him/her to your friends? Do you feel that one day he/she will realise that what mistake he/she did by leaving you? If the answer to all these questions are yes, then you really need to stop doing all these things right now. Love is a beautiful feeling but only when it is reciprocated. See your ex, has he/she moved on with another partner? Is he/she happy? If yes, then it means the person has left the past behind and you do not hold any importance in his/her life anymore. What makes you happy? There was a time when you did not know this certain guy or girl and you had ur own life. We all go through such situations in life. Some people comes for a short period in our lives and then they go, You must let it go now. 5 years is a very long time. Please move on now or else there will be a time when all the precious moments of your life will be gone waiting for a wrong person. Start loving yourself now.

meditate regularly,free yourself of the past.find better love.keep yourself engaged in healthy activities.
