sometimes you are better off without the person you think you need the most..Start a new chapter..Take him/her out of the picture..you can do it without him/her..It's going to hurt but when you realise the pain is gone you will be in a happier place :)

When you decide to. It's easy to think about your ex if you're still connected with him/her on social networks or in real life. Distance yourself. Also, you can decide to stop thinking about your ex by doing other productive/fun things in your life. Switch your thoughts to something else when you catch yourself thinking about your ex. If you want to just lessen the pain however, you can think about your ex in a positive light, i.e. what things you liked about him/her, but keep in mind that you did break up for a reason. Also, I believe that time is still needed in recovering from breakups, but how much time differs from person to person. However, you can make it shorter if you choose to.

If you love them, then I would say never. You never stop thinking about them and that isn't a bad thing. You had something special, embrace it, be thankful and move on, there is a reason they are now your ex.

It depends on how deep your bond is. For me personally, it took 7 years, simply because he meant the world for me. My thoughts on him were about "what if's." But one day, I just accepted that the past can't be repeated, and I realized that either your past will hold you down or you can be grateful that you found a love worth experiencing and move on. Every partner in your life will hold something dear to you, but with every passing person, be aware that they leave a present for you to be one step closer to be the best person you can shape yourself to be. Ex's are lessons. I believe they helped you get one step closer to also find someone else who is more compatible to you.

When you start seeing the benefits of moving on. When you start believing in your capabilities and start hoping and planning for future

Sigh. This is a million dollar question. Look at the origin of the thought, i.e. think of what makes you think of your ex and get over it. Time helps you heal. Good luck :D
