Getting over your ex

I'm having problems getting over my ex. What should I do? I really love him and I want to be with him. When I went over his house he had pictures of different girls on his walls and he showed me text messages from them. I guess he did it just to make me jealous. I started crying because I couldn't hold it in. I think he still loves me, but wants me to feel all of the hurt he once felt. Thats why he kees trying to make me jealous. Should I just let him go? or wait until he's ready to get it right?

I know what you feel. It is really difficult to let go of someone you truly love. Nonetheless, if you were to ask my advice, I would say that you should just let him go. Your ex is just one of the countless guys with potentials to be your good lover. You should find ways to ease the pain and slowly erase the love that you still feel for him. In my case, the big factor that really helped me were my good friends. I ventilated all my difficulties and heartaches to them. In the process, I felt that the burdens that i had slowly disappeared. In addition, I tried to do things to divert my attention from thinking of my heartaches like listening to good music and singing for a number of hours. It worked for me, and I hope it will work for you too.

Let it go hun! Wait for that person who will sweep you off you feet and give you so much love that you don't know what to do with it. It's possible, I know because I did it. You must know that you deserve better.

well, i think relationship can't be forced and it has to be a mutual feelings between two person... so all i can say that you just have to let him go and move on with your life... i believe that you will find a better man that will love you and treat you much better than your ex... so please try to forget him... you have to look into the future and not the past... take care and have a nice day...

wow he treats you like that and you still want to hang on to something that is only one sided? You need to let him go. True love is not about game playing and hurting someone you love to make them jealous. When you truly love someone you want to make them happy and not make them jealous. You are wasting your time on someone who don't feel the same as you and is purposely trying to hurt you. you need to kick him out of your life and go on and live yours. One day you will find love that is good and beautiful and you will realize that what you had with this other person was not love on his part. Best of luck and I hope that you get out of this hurtful situation.

Hi, Buddy just be calm like wait and watch, if he also loves you a lot, like every did and infact is true that don't talk to him (i know this might no be good for u and u even can't do it) but still if you will have to make your love perfect just don't talk with him for some time, don't reply his mails and stuff, it would be difficult again but you have to do this, because i had been to this stage. Best of luck Bye.

Why would you love a person that deliberately hurts you feelings. I really don't think that there is something going on in him. come on dear its time to love yourself. There is no love that comes for him but just pure revenge and you don't deserve that. Keeping in touch with him makes it more harder for you to recover from him. show to him that you deserved to be loved and not being treated as a toy he intends to just hurt. Grow up and learn from this experience and find a much better guiy to love who will love you for who you are.

In my opinion,maybe he doesn't like you any more.He just treats you as his friend ,so he shows the text messages to you.If he really loves you, I think he wouldn't do such things that would hurt you a lot.

If you love him,then I think you and him should have a long heart to heart talk,and you need to ask him if deep down if he loves you,and then decide what to do from there,but whatever happens you need to do whats right for you,and always listen to your heart.

Definitely let him go. Think about it this way--if you guys are meant to be together, you will be...eventually. For now, focus on you! Have fun with your friends and when you're okay, start dating again if you want. If and when "he's ready to get it right," then you can deal with him. But you don't want to waste your time waiting because who knows when he'll be ready?!

What kind of dude does some stuf like that to get a girl to relize something!?! I would never do something like that to my girl just to make a point, make her jealous or what ever! That sounds very petty to me and I'm only 16. I know you may love him, but if dude loves you he would not be tryna pull something like this. He would be just focused on one and no one else. But you might have to just move on now baby ight, cause sometimes you have to let go the ones you love. And I don't know, maybe someday when you do move on he could realize what he just missed and GROW UP and try to see whats good wit you and him. But I say just try moven on and don't even worry bout him cause thats what he wants you to do. ight.
