Question Posted Wednesday October 29 2014, 3:50 am
I have loved this guy for 6 years now. I dated him for the first 3 of those.
So things ended a long time ago. They ended on a good note, but with good reasons.
We said we'd be friends, but we very seldom communicate.
We have moved on since then, but we aren't over each other. We recently talked about it, why are we not together?
And its true that we aren't compatible, we drive each other crazy.
I know being apart is for the best, but it still hurts.
How do I stop missing him?

It happened to me and this is how I solved it.
I had an ex who I found it difficult to get out of my system and knowing that we can't be together, I had to go into a new relationship .
When I got into the new relationship, I did not stop there. I went ahead and told her what I am still feeling for my ex and the things that made me feel that way for her. She was an understanding babe and before I knew it, she started doing the things I missed in my ex. Today we are happily married.
The summary of the whole thing is:
1. Try and go into a new relationship with and understanding guy.
2. Be open to him and tell him why the crush on your ex.
3. Both of you can work out a way to deal with it. [ henrydgreat's advice column | Ask henrydgreat A Question ]

Go out and date. Meet new guys. It's been long enough, you need to get yourself out of the rut of him. You're only hurting yourself by holding on. Believe me, I've done it, and it was over a girl I never even dated. Two years of anxiety and stress over nothing.

I had one or two guys I really fell for and it didn't work out, parting as friends. But I couldnt stop thinking of and really needed to keep in touch by phone calls, couldn't let go until I found the love of my life. When you find that person, they eclipse anything you've had with anyone else. Your are able to go on and the others won't be foremost on your mind. In fact I rarely think of the other guys not that I've found my 2nd husband. He'll be the one I grow old with. I haven't forgotten the others. I will have moments when something I am doing reminds me of them and I'll have a brief fond memory. So you never forget the person but its possible to let them go so it doesnt hurt and you no longer feel a need for them. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
