i think you should stop dwelling on your memories together because it won't help you in forgetting him... just make yourself busy or search for new things that can make you really happy to the extent that you'll no longer think of your happy thoughts with him. he's gone and the very best you can do is to accept that fact... :D

Moving on is really hard and painful. It is indeed a tough process. Well, I've been into a long relationship before and it ended suddenly because of a third party issue. So, in short, I suffered from a heart break. But thankfully, I have great friends who had surrounded me during those times and they are a big part why I had successfully get through on that situation. It took me I guess almost a month to forget about the past and the person. I also spend more time hanging out with friends and spending fun time with them. I socialized with people and it helped a lot. Move one. Live life to the fullest! There's always a new day waiting for everyone. So, always have that hope inside you. It's up to you to decide whether to move on or find him back. Just listen to your heart and follow what makes you happy. By doing so, you won't regret ion the end.

You never forget a person... you just learn to live without them and make something worthwhile of your life without that person. It means re-creating dreams and forgetting fantasies.

I am a person who can forget easily. If somebody dumps me, I will righ away say 'Get lost and Good bye' and leave it completely from my mind. I have a rock hard mind at times. I am also light hearted at times. I don't understand why people take a long time to forget relationships. What is the point in still feeling for somebody who cheated you or who doesn't have you in heart? People should accept the situation. I may take one day or maxium three days to forget a relationship if somebody dumps me. I would rather say 'one day'.

It hurts to leave someone you love. It took me about three years to finally work through the pain, and another year after that before I was in an emotional state where I could be happy again. It takes less time if you have a support system and friends you can count on. The best thing for you to do is distract yourself. Get a new hobby or take classes to learn something you've always wanted to learn. Maybe learn how to play an instrument. I would advise against going back to him unless you have a compelling and rational reason. It has to be more than just because you miss him. There's a reason you two broke up, and if you get back with him just to break up again it will cause you more pain in the end. It hurts right now, but you will get through it in time.

well, what's done is done, you can not deny it, you can not pretend that they never hapen, if you really loves him, i thnk you should find him, if you think even if you find him, he will not turn back to your side, then I think you'd better give up, and what you could do is ocupy all your apare time with things. When I broke up with my boyfriend, I went to the library every evening and read books all the everning, then when I was back home, it was late and I can only take a shower, and go to bed and sleep! I was my experience, and it works. But 5 days later my boyfriend and I was together again, he find it really hard to go throught the days without me, haha!!

I don't think you need to forgot about someone to begin your new life. I think what you need to learn is accepting the situation as it is and live with it. You need not worry aout your past but start thinking of your entire life ahead of you. Remember, today is the present. :)
