Hi guys just want to ask Let's just say how do you move on with your life after a break-up but you still see your ex-boyfriend/girlfriend? I mean you're classmates with you're girlfriend/boyfriend but then you broke up. How do you cope up after the break-up?

It happened to me when I was in High school. I had my first boyfriend during my sophomore year (we were in different sections).It was my first time to have a relationship so I was pretty upset when we broke up. I was angry, he wasn't. It went on until our junior high. Surprisingly, we became classmates in our junior year. Still, we didn't talk. Then here comes senior year. Two or a month before our graduation, it turned out that he asked my friend to set up a time for us to talk. So, we did. The anger wasn't there. We could smile at each other as if like nothing happens in the past.
I think it's a process really. You can't be angry all the time. Just wait and try to move on till you feel that the pain is no longer there. It would take time. Really.

I guess what I would try to do is focus my attention elsewhere. It would be hard to see that person often. When my ex and I had broke up I didn't have classes with him but I saw him often. It was difficult to be around him and see him. But I tried to focus on other things and to move on with my life.

Hi oflollipopskies,
It's really hard moving on, but if you pursue to move on then you can do it. You have to divert your things to others, and try to avoid thinking about your past, try also not to go to the place that you think have been memorable to both of you. Honestly, I just had a broke up last March, it's because of a third party, I figured it out sometime around November and it takes me a couple of months trying to accept that we can still fix things up, but sometimes pride has something to do with the relationship, I couldn't bear to accept what had happened to him and his girl, and my only outlet is to find way to divert things out, I went of going out, and there was this coworker which we have on the same situation, and we ended up together. I know fate brought us together. Maybe we really have to let go of some people because they wasn't meant to be and there is better out there.
Happy mylotting...

I never had such an experience but I can relate two of my friends' experiences .One maintained a very cordial relation even after break-up . They were quite friendly even though they were in a love relation before . Another friend totally stopped meeting him and avoided him whenever they had to meet in some occasion. I think the best would be to maintain a friendly relation and still avoid meeting as it may make either of the person unhappy or embarrassed .

Key thing is to find something to do, Find something that would put your mind off your current things that you did. It's human nature to cope things wrongly like resulting into smoking (could be worst) , and much more. It's how you can cope with it. I understand that you guys (or gals) maybe with each other for long, (bout 3 - 5 years perhaps?) and i understand it's hard to move on, but this is life, you will get it over with, and to get it over with more simpler, you got to find things to do, like maybe playing your favourite games? But my best suggestion is, Spend time with your family, they are the only one that you can retreat to when such turn of events happens.

If I am the one who broke up, then I should to forget eventhough I still see him since we're being in the same class. I would probably focus on my study to keep my mind of him. Joining a club also work. Either way just do something instead of just moping around.

It's hard to move on if you still see your ex regularly, that's why sometimes it's just better to transfer to another place to avoid him/her. But since you are classmates, there's no way you can avoid seeing her/him everyday. I guess the only advice I can give is to just ignore him/her and as much as possible, just focus on your studies.

I think the best way is to FORCE yourself to move on. Convince yourself that nothing will happen if you stay being hurt and bitter. Just concentrate with your studies. Focus and think that you will be able to find someone better, and you will be a better person when that person comes in your life. Good luck!

If you really care about that person, and you have to see him/her every day in school, It can be pretty tough......But you just move on with your life...regardless of the reason u broke up....In time wounds will heal and you will go back to your jolly self and start dating other people.......

your problem quite similar with me a few month ago. for me that is no reason for find the new one if my heart still loving her. because when we talk about love. it will talk about my heart. but if it is not possible to come back to her or him. just let them go. love is like butterfly. when you run to catch them, they will run away from you. but if you stay away and keep moving on. maybe in the future they will back to you.
and you will win, because you already move on. keep smile my friends. :D

Break-ups are hard because it not only represents the loss of a loved one or of a friend but also the loss of one’s dreams. Also, recovering from break-ups depends on one’s own coping defenses and mechanisms. I can only advise you at this point to get busy and change your daily routine so you do not think of it often.
