You have to focus on other stuff. The 3 F's: Friends, family, fun.
It is often that our heart and head give us mixed signals in situations like this. You sometimes have to settle for somewhere in between. Only you know when you've had enough and are ready and willing to quit, but just remember you can't keep chasing something that does not want to be caught.
Ultimately, you are going to decide if you are going to try to pursue things again or not. But, keep in mind that y'all probably broke up for a REASON and unless that issue has been fixed or forgiven, not much will change. Secondly, don't just let the fact that it was 4 years be tempting you to go back.
And in my opinion, I'm not a quitter, but if deep down I knew it was a lost cause and it wasn't what I really believed in, yes I would quit.
Look at it this way, if you were a parent and you had a daughter, would you want her to go through the pains of your four year relationship and would you want some teenage guy always coming back? Probably not.
In the mean time, really validate what you're wanting and whom you are wanting it from. Sometimes our "actions of love" are really to try to fufill broken pieces of us.
