how do you usually move on from a heartbreak when you still have the feeling that the guy still loves you...but looking back at that time he broke up with you...he did say that he loves you but can't afford to live with you... and now that he has broken up with you , you still feel that he loves you ...

The thing is...do you want to move on? Are you sure you are over with him?Are you sure you don't wanna get back with him. If you are concentrate on yourself.Take care of yourself.Read.Listen to good music.Dance.Laugh.Cry (yes it is ok).Get a new hobby that you lobe doing and have fun.Time will make things easier for you.And the right guy will come and stay with you.Be positive.There is always something better waiting for you.Maybe it is another guy who will be the right for you.Or maybe after some time you will get back together and both of you will have learnt from this.Good luck! Have a great day!

I am not really sure if I want to move on...maybe I can move on if he broke up with me because of another girl, but he didn't. He said he loves me but he can't afford to live a life with me... I clearly asked him if we can give our love another chance but he said no. Now, i am really getting confused.

Breaking up with you because of another girl? I don't think you can move on easily. Maybe he is not really meant for you. Just think that if you are really meant for each other,destiny will do its magic..=)

Giving space to the person you love means you really love that person. I believe that if you really love a person you will let him do what will makes him happy even if it will hurt you. Love is not always sweet, not always makes you happy, if you will learn to be happy in the things that makes your loved one happy, that is called TRUE LOVE. Letting go will make you a better person and will make you a braver one and once you have another relationship, I know, you will know what to do. It hurts for a while, but that hurt will make you strong and ready for another relationship. =)

It is indeed hard. I've had a previous break-up before but it doesn't took me too long to recover. But with him, it's like everything that I see and listen, there's a sign of him ...I see him in my dreams and in every thing/event that reminds me of him.

I was involved with my previous partner for seven YEARS but we broke up last fall. No reasons given by him, just didn't call me. I'd been doing a lot of thinking the previous months but decided I break up with him in person the same weekend. I think it was a combination of things: 1. I was 11 years his junior. While I could get over the age difference, I guess he could not. 2. We were from totally different backgrounds. I lived in an upperclass, wealthy suburb and owned my own home and car. He was from the city, a much lower class area and struggled growing up (as one of ten children). 3. I was separated and divorcing my abusive husband. He told me his late wife and mother of his sons passed away years ago. He explained away the woman Michelle as his 'room mate'. It always felt as things were a bit off, like I cared much more for him than he did for me. And as the years progressed, my misgivings were still there, but I fell deeply in love with him and tried to ignore them. I researched some things--polyamory, common-law marriage....I did everything he asked of me. Then a mutual friend called and during the course of our conversation gave me further insight into my former partner. That's when I realized that I WAS the other woman. He had told me repeatedly that there was nothing between them, so I offers to meet her. I was going to ask her for the truth and he said no, she hates you. That was the beginning of the end for me. I began to plan to break up.

The only way to know for sure is to ask him point blank. If it was money that made him break up , maybe there is hope You can always work out a money issue. But if he was using money as a excuse and the real reaso is that is doesn't love you, then it is truly over. You may never move on until you get the answer to does he still love you.

maybe he had a reason why he broke up even he still loves you..I have a friend,he is a guy.when i ask him why he broke up to his girlfriend he told me that he want space that why she end up their relationship even he still love her..Break up doesn't always mean that you don't love the person.

I agree with you. The one who do the break up might not always mean that he dont love the his/her partner anymore. He/She might have a reason and he knows yoou will be better off without him/her. But still, every break ups hurt.

you can't stop wanting or waiting for love because when it right its the best thing in the world. When you are in a relationship and its good, even if nothing else is right in your life right now, you feel like your whole life is complete. Your friend might be in denial..but you said he just can't afford to live with her. You did say he broke up with her. how did you go from "he can't afford to live with her" to "now that he has broken up with her. We make a mistake by assumming that if our partners loves us they are suppose to react and behave in a certain way. Its unusal for relationship fall apart when the two people really love each other. There is one sad truth I've found, the only folks we really wound are those we love the best,we flatter those we scarcely know, we please the fleeinf guest, and deal a many thoughtless blow to those who loves us best.

I think that having your heart broken is one of the hardest things that anybody can possibly go through during the course of our lives. When we are in love, we allow people to see us at our most vulnerable, and because of this, it can be very hard when they decide that they don't love you anymore. I have had my heart broken far too many times and I am hoping that the partner that I have at the moment is not going to break my heart, because I really do love him and am hoping to spend the rest of my life with him.

Any person who have feelings for you will never confuse you weather he loves you or not. He will simply make you happy always. So move on in life because he really don't care what you wanted with him.

I believe he has his own reasons in breaking up with you. Maybe it is not yet the right time. Didn't you ask him why? It's okay! Now you want to move on. I know you are still young. There are so many things which you can do for you to forget him. Try to acquaint to others. Spend more time with your family and friends. Don't listen to music that would remind you of him.

... that's hard. why can't he afford to live with you? this is an important factor, so i think you should have stated it in your post. when that problem about living together is solved, you might still be able to be with each other and don't have to break up?

personally, i think, if he loves you, he wouldn't break up with you. if you want to move on from a heartbreak, there is no use feeling that he still loves you coz you won't be able to forget...
