Everyone has different ways of looking at this... Firstly, please know, that it's okay if you are not over them. No matter how long you were with them, you had a connection, and you will think about it now and then. Until, one day, it will fade away like dust in the air... But, it's gradual. Try to recognize what these thoughts do to you, and bring for you. How do they make you feel? Without the stories attached to this feeling. Once you have recognized these feelings and sensation, you will learn to just stay with them. Even though, not everyone is of this opinion; I believe if you truly want to move on, and if your ex is open to a healthy communication... then, please go for it, because life is too short to hold on to any resentment. I haven't always had this chance... So, yes, this will depend on how both you and your ex feel about a healthy dialogue. Good luck... and please be kind and patient to yourself.

I understand how you feel. I had an experience similar to yours. The best thing you can do is to evaluate why everything ended, and to really understand and assimilate that this big change happened in your life. It is hard to let go people that were important to us, people that we truly loved, but more important is to love yourself and sometimes, things just do not work. Try to take care of yourself, spoil yourself, go to the gym or for walk/swim. Go out with your friends and take your life back. A life where you are the most important person, and you own personal well-being is what truly matters.

Do nothing. Give some time. Time is the best healer. the more you try in matters of heart, more complicated it gets. It'll take time. In the mean time enjoy life and get involved in activities for self enrichment and self growth.

certain things needs time. do not expect a quick remedy,Stay positive n keep trying. Meditate, develop new hobbies, spend time wid family, frnds n travel as much as u can, play sports. whenever d person's thought crosses ur mind, remember tht it is over, do not hate him/her or over think, dont b too harsh on urself. just go with the flow. everything will b fine. Pray to God everyday. Meditation does wonders.

Be patient with yourself, there is no set time to get over someone. Focus on other things for a while and give it more time.

If you haven't already, perhaps try to start meeting new people. After all, it has been only a year, and if it was serious, it might take a bit longer. You should also try to get rid of anything that remidn you of him, and stop yourself when you think about him.

Well when you say that it's over a year that means you are counting it! Each day! Say it's like Stars! If you try to measure and count each star every day, you will amaze to find them getting numerous and countless day after day! What matters is not who he WAS or she Was what matters is what do you T H I N K ? It's same as if you talked to a stranger and you imagine who he was and why did you smile? what if he followed you back?? This is endless. cause this is of no use! Be the Best in you and Trust Your Instincts and say good bye to your H U R T !
