How do you move on after a very long relationship?

Wow, that's a tough one...10 years is too long just to forget about it. Just try to keep yourself occupy so that you won't think much about him.

Wow, 10 years is a really long time. I guess there is no simple answer to how you get over it. I think it is important to remind yourself of the reasons why you broke up that way you are staying realistic about why it wouldn't work even if you got back together now. Just try and stay positive. I wouldn't advise going into another relationship so soon. Take some time to yourself is my best advice.

It is hard to move. Time is the best healer in this case. But it will definitely take time. Try to engage in things that ypu like to do. work will help to heal faster.

Been there done that many times over! The worst thing you can do is jump into another relationship straight away no matter how lonely you are it is usually a mistake and your judgement is impaired because you may not be over your ex yet and you may be prone to making the wrong choice just so you are not alone. It is not easy being single again after a long term relationship and my experience has taught me ( I had a break up after 11 and a half years)that it is best to grieve for the loss of the romance and start spending some time by yourself getting to know your self again. I joined clubs and took up new hobbies and focussed on making new friends and did not worry too much about getting involved with men. It was really hard at the time but looking back it was a time I really needed. Being single for a year or so made me much more ready to commit again when I eventually met the man who is now my husband.

I broke up in a relationship before, it was hard at first but I have decided to move on anyways because once a relationship has been broken up, it is hard to gather the pieces. You are young, pretty and talented so there will be lots of enjoyments ahead of you. Best of luck finding a new one soon. Cest_moi

I am break with my boyfriend last year and had together for 3 years.Then i found somebody who more honest and good to me...it make me cheer back.

I am working that out myself right now. My husband walked out on me in November and filed for divorce in January. We had been married 3.5 years and been together nearly 5. We moved 5 weeks before he left for his new job. So now I am in a new place, my friends and family are hundreds of miles away, and I am frankly just trying to survive. I didn't have a job when he left so that's the first thing I did was get one. I am trying to get my life back together. I am looking for a better job and a way to move back where my friends are. I am mostly staying isolated and figuring myself out which includes therapy for me. Its hard to deal with something like this especially after all the other events I had just been through and it was real unexpected. I won't get into another relationship until the divorce is final which will be sometime in August. I think that gives me plenty of time to contemplate myself and find out who I am now. And then I guess I will move on from there.

I take time for myself. You know, buy the things i couldn't buy before because i need to set aside some cash to spend it with my girlfriend. For gifts, dates, etc. I would take a lot of pampering. Much like getting back on my feet in preparation for a brand new start. I was devastated years ago when my girlfriend abroad was impregnated by another guy so i was left in the cold eventhough i faithfully waited for more than a year for her. Now i'm back to being single. I don't know but it's becoming more like a cycle. I've had 6 failed relationships and i'm getting tired.
