Question Posted Wednesday January 26 2005, 5:34 pm
My boyfriend & I just broke up a few weeks ago. We were together for almost a year and he didn't exactly treat me nice. He cheated on me, lied, and just wasn't exactly a good boyfriend. I looked passed all that & fell deep in love with all his great qualities. I still have no idea why I cry over him and miss him so much. We broke up because he cheated on me once again and I had enough of all the hurt he caused. We're friends now and he seems to want to go back out again. I'm trying to stay strong and think of all the pain I went through with him but I never loved anyone more than him in my life. How am I supposed to get over him?

I can totally totally realate to your situation. I know exactly how you felt and how you are feeling. It's good that you are being level headed about all of this and realizing that the way he treated you was not right. You deserve better than that. I kinow how hard it can be to let go of someone you really love and care about. There's no exact remedy on how to get over this though. It's to each their own. The best thing you can do is just constantly remind yourself of the awful way he made you feel when he cheated and lied and etc. It's okay to remember the good time too though. You need to learn to treat this as a good learning experience so you are better prepared for the next time you are in a serious relationship. Try to keep your mind off wanting to get back with him though. Try: volunterring, having a girls night out, pick up a new hobbie, go see a ton of movies, eat, write, get a job, read books, shop, cook, re decorate your room, meet new people. In time you will soon she that you don't have to depend on him for hapiness. You'll be just fine on your own, and you'll be thrilled but not dependent on the next guy that comes alone. With that said, it's okay that you and your ex are still talking and are friends. That can be a good thing. But don't eat up every little word he says now to you becuase you really dont know if he is lieing to you or what. Be careful. Keep your guard up with him. But, if in time, thingsd change and he changes and proves to you that he knows how to treat you then, and only then think about getting back with him. Until then. sourround yourself with positive influences. Live your life for you. Be happy. Best of luck! :) [ FrEe2bMe's advice column | Ask FrEe2bMe A Question ]
