How do I get over an ex


Question Posted Monday October 13 2008, 5:02 am

My fiance dumped me one year ago. We were together for 3.3 years. How long does it usually take to get over it. I have moved on somewhat it is a complicated story and there is not enough room here to say. I am currently dating someone else and have been in two other relationships since. I am expecting a child in dec from one of the relationships and would love to get back with the guy from the other relationship but overall I still have feelings for my ex fiance.

You were close to marriage, so I assume that means you and he were very close. It's going to take a while and there's no quick fix for it. You just have to wait for a while... try to live life and not worry about getting over him.

It's hard, and I know. I still love an ex and we haven't been together for... four and a half years now if I'm counting correctly. I'm madly in love with the guy I've been with for a year and a half but I still see the ex, we're friends. I still love him, it's still hard.

It's hard, and it'll be hard for a long time, no doubt, but the thing you need to do is just try and live, not focus on it. That's what worked for me, anyway. My brother is different. He went three years before he got into another relationship whereas I jumped right into another one to try and forget. You just have to live and live the way YOU want... the healing will come on its own time so you can't be waiting for it or life passes you by.

Sometimes it takes a few days, sometimes it takes years.

Especially if you were in a relationship with someone for so long, it might take even longer.

But every morning, you need to take that deep breath and say: "Ok, I'm having a kid. This kid is going to be my whole life from now on." Once he/she is born, you're going to look at that little face and realize that...you have someone to take care of. To love. To have by your side until they leave the nest.

And I think that will help you leave that ex of yours behind. It gives you a new focus.

cheers (and congratulations!),
