you will never completely be over her just try to think of the good times i am still not over my ex-husband i have a son with i see everyday that reminds me of the love we had and will always have somewhere in the heart
If you truly love someone, you carry that love for life. If you get over it, was never love.
You choose to make better choices for yourself. You choose to live. You choose to grow from lessons learned. You choose to let go because you're worth being loved again and to give love.
Wow great posts. All the advice I've been given has been "Give it time". "Get back on the horse" etc. I think you gals are right. I will always love her and maybe that's not a bad thing.
Here is some advice. Go to your closet and pull out all the memory stuff of her............and throw it away. Seriously. You're holding on to something that is over, and the symbolism of throwing out the memoribilia will conclude the mourning process.
The universe works on an equlibrium system. If you want something in your life.......make the space for it. Close the door on your past relationships. Grieve, but not forever. Then, prepare yourself as though you have already met the next special person in your life. When you are fully prepared, there will be an empty space where that person in your life should be............and the natural order of the universe will bring it to equilibrium.

3 years...only 3 years :o) ... Here how i have been dealing with this .. It is happend 8 years ago... since then i moved to other country (just to be away)... i have a son (not his) who i named after him...It is getting better.. but sometimes... somewhere inside ...But i'm not trying to forget i simply live with it. Well...maybe i'm still single and on this site. lol
Time...Although 3 years is quite long. How about joining a support group in your area? There are plenty out there that help those in your situation. When I was seperated, I did just that and not only did it do wonders, I also made some great friends that have gone through or still going through exactly what I went through. You don't have to be seperated, divorced or widowed.. it can be over a lost relationship with a girlfriend also.
It's hard man. Some are harder than others. The one I'm going through right now is expecially tough, but as I realize that we could never be, I'm learning to accept it and feeling better.
Quit beating yourself up, try to let go and accept that you have to pick up and move on. The ladies don't like it when your pineing for someone else.
With undestanding and acceptance comes peace and the knowledge that you'll be better off in the end.
I threw out everything but a few pictures last year. It didn't help. Ah well. I think somethings you just don't get over. I guess I'll just have to live with it. Thanks for the advice though. After hearing 8 years I figure I have plenty of time lol. Think I'll go to that other thread and just sell my soul :)
We have all had past relationships that didnt work otherwise we really wouldnt be in a singles site but you have to remember this - we all have a past which we cant change, we all have a present that we are living but the future is the only thing we can change. So look forward to the future, you have a say on how its going to turn out. I wish you the best of luck with all you do and you will always have your memories.
honestly it would be hard getting over someone being in a relationship that long but there are a lot of different women out there that will in the long run be better for you and you might not forget about the one your still not over but it will be easier and it will not always be on your mind
