How to get over the end of a relationship / myLot

I guess the one thing I've learned so far is that getting over a relationship can take a little time. It doesn't seem like there's a shortcut. Things remind you of your ex-partner, even when you're the one who ended it. Sometimes you'll miss each other. Sometimes you can't eat - other times you binge eat. Sometimes it's best not to wallow in memories. But the one thing to remember is that we DO get over it. All of a sudden you realize that you haven't thought about them for a week, then a month. Sometimes you fall in love with someone else and that speeds up the process. Eventually, it's just another memory, a phase of your life that's in the past. Do you do anything specific to get over a relationship?

In my dating days I just moved on. I guess I wasn't that into them though I did have one that was harder to let go until I realized it was really the end

There is no magic potion or trick to get over a break-up. It is what it is. Everyone has to deal with their grief of the loss or break-up in their own time. I know it took me a while to get over my17 year marriage when it went bust. Most of my stress and worry were over the kids. I think that saved me from the true lost love aspect. But every relationship is different. They do become distant memories over time.
