Hi mylotters...How do you let go of someone you still love? My friend is having this problem and I want to ask your opinions about this so that I can tell it to her. Her BF recently broke up with her and told her that the feeling is not there anymore (he's no longer inloved with her in other words) so it's better to let go of one another (on the guy's part). My friend still loves him and wants to get him back even though she agreed to let him go. Please help me help my friend because she's really hurting a lot. What do I have to tell her?

For you to move on with a past relationship is find someone new. I think you can help your friend by helping her explore the outside world. I mean there are a lot of guys out there who are better and very available. I think the problem with your friend is that her world is too small that she can't live without her past BF. Invite her to go out.. go shopping, meet new friends, etc. So that the pain can be diverted.

Hi there...You're right that she built her world around her EX. He's everything to her and now that he's gone, she doesn't know how to cope up with life again. I've tried what you've advised but still, she's moping around and not willing to go out with other guys...She says she is still hurting and the more she sees a happy couple, the more she hurts while she remembers her EX. I tried dragging her to shopping sprees and watching funny movies to cheer her up, but to no avail...(sigh). I just really hope she gets over him quickly because it's affected her physically, emotionally, and socially. Thanks again for responding.
