Ok, I may be married for ten years but I do remember a few aweful break ups. There are different kinds of fish in the sea. My best advice is to make an effort to not see or avoid the person you broke up with. Socialize with new people. Get into a new hobby. Try to meet your new special someone in a healthy place, not just a bar.

That´s true, seeing that person around even makes you bring back old memories and what you say is right that we should socialize and get to know new people. You never you how things might change in your world and you would get something better than what you expected.

It takes time to recover after a bad relationship. Sometimes it take weeks, months or even years. Being busy with other things might help you get your mind off the pain, but it can still haunt you at night before you go to sleep. This was how I felt when I have been through that situation. When I love a person, I give my all. And that was the hardest thing ....giving your all and not leaving some for yourself. It took me months before I could make myself do things to occupy my mind. But in between those times, still I would be crying and thinking a lot. I'd like to think that after so many years that I am over it but still sometimes I would remember about it, but the pain is no longer that intense.

hello jenny, thanks for the comment. I agree with you.Its really hard sometimes. You feel like crying for what she has done to you, but can't .And no matter how many days or years pass by, it will still haunt you when you see someone in the same situation.

Yeah! And sometimes, what drives me more crazy is smelling that familiar scent! Or hearing your favorite song.....Good thing I have kept my sanity in tact!

GOOD, But you know what i don't care when it comes to listening the fav songs,even if it reminds you about something. I guess that's the only time when you are in your own world and at times it will make you feel sad or may be happy. And about familiar scent, i guess i've not found myself in such situation. I believe you wont be able to get a person of the same virtues and qualities, may be if you've found someone of a familiar scent..good for you. So would you like to share with what happend and how did you cope up with the situation..?

When I went thru this years ago. that is a break up, yes kept busy. No it wasn't easy to stop thinking about him. but I did get over him in time. I say it truly helps to stay busy. Don't listen to music on your ipod that makes you think of that person.

hello lizzy, Thanks for the comment. But you know what,U see yourself into such situation where you cant stop urself listening to that song..or may be the song is being played somewhere and you get to hear it..and may be your love story will start flashing in front of you.. i've personally found myself into such situation..cant stop thinkin about her then.. And even if you have found someone ..that person should have the power not to make you remember about your past..but you should also have to be transparent with your love.. what do you think..?

Somehow paying attention to work may help diverting your self from your breakup but that doesn’t help easing the pain. Although it may keep you busy with other things in mind, still you remember the pain you had during the heartache. People, who have closely experienced breakups should talk to other people, hang out and most likely, get all your ex in the history.
