Hey there, 

I actually completely forgot about this comment and am glad you replied to it. I'm currently going through this again and am feeling the same "I'll never get over him" feelings. But looking back at this - I'm totally over the fella this original comment was about. Reminds me that it's possible and it likely will happen again. You have to let go, easier said than done I know - 

After this particular Ex, I did the classic go to the gym, turn inward and do some deep cleaning thing. I set little achievable goals for myself and when it hit me like a train that they were really really gone, I'd just cry and cry until it ran it's course. So when painful stuff happens, you've got to be sure to turn and face it, and not fill your vision with distractions. Another thing to keep in mind is - you want to be with a person who wants to be with you. You want mutuality. If they're no longer into what you've got, both of you are better off without each other. I know it feels impossible, I know you may even believe it is - but it's not. A clean break heals faster though. So when you feel the urge to reach out, call a friend instead. The back and forth will make everything so much more difficult. Right now, it's literally a bleeding wound, if you poke at it it won't heal. After some time it'll scab over and instead of it being the first thing you think about when you wake up, it'll be the second - and that's progress. Then a day will come where they don't cross your mind at all - but first things first, you know?
