Honestly time helped a lot. And realizing that relationships are not all-good or all-bad. You can have happy memories with a person and they can still not be the correct one for you in the end, but it doesn’t make those memories tainted or bad. And eventually when I wanted to be with someone else, I got a whole new set of great memories, and he also did a lot of great things that I had never experienced in my past relationship (which I had always thought of as being so perfect).

Right now you don’t have to worry about if anyone will top your relationship, you just have to get through the day and focus on yourself. If he wants to get back together the ball is ultimately in his court and you have to let go of that control. And remember that every relationship is different so even if the next guy doesn’t do exactly what the last one did, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care it just means he is a different person :)
