How do you get over a break up with someone you were in love with?

Answer 1

Very difficult situation but only one thing works : not to see that person and with time you forget

Answer 2

I think we are limited in the ways we "get over" a breakup by the kind of personality we possess, assuming we do not have a personality disorder. For the vast majority of us I think we mourn the loss or celebrate the escape (depending upon who broke it off) for a while and then move on, hopefully having learned some important lessons from the experience. For others, the trauma remains and threatens to cause serious emotional repercussions because the person does not have a reservoir of options. If this is the case then short term therapeutic counseling is indicated. Still others see no options and no alternatives and sadly, end their lives.
Clearly we have the capacity for more than one "love" in our lifetime and therefore we should realistically understand going in that nothing is forever and that all love relationships carry with them the risk of breaking up. The saying, 'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all' is a wise one. It means that we must take the 'risk' of loving another with full understanding that it may not last or perhaps even be reciprocated.
Accepting the realities of being human is the best way to go, I think.

Answer 3

There are few things in life that are harder on a person than the time when they realize that the love they have worked so hard at, and spent so much time on, is finally over. For some, this realization is a complete shock and for others, they have seen the writing on the wall for some time now.Remember, no matter how you do it, or what you say, if you are completely honest with yourself and your partner you both will be able to move on and grow from your experience. Like the common phrase says, "If it was meant to be, it will be..Best Wishes

Answer 4

I am an expert on that one.
Change your mind focus.
Notice you head off to the gymn six times a week instead of two or three.
Take up a new hobby. I did. Notice yourself in the hospital emergency room a little more. But it sure is fun getting there.
Or you can trash your computer and go to the park with your son.

Answer 5

Only time can really help with that. It's hard when you love someone because you let a part of your heart open and when they fall out of love with you, you are left with the hole in your heart. So really only time can start healing and one day you will wake up and be able to love once again.

Answer 6

Grit your teeth, gather up your pride and move on like the whipped dog you are. You will find someone else, or not. But try not to humilate yourself too much, that will be more difficult to deal with in the long run, long after this "love" is but a memory.

Answer 7

I have had several broken bones but that was nothing compared to the pain of a broken heart. Time is about the only thing that will help. Keep your mind to busy to think about the past. It is very difficult, but you can do it. The pain in your heart will become weaker as your heart grows stronger. I promise. :)

Answer 8

If you truly loved the person, the answer is; you never do!
You will grow accustomed, and hardened to the hurt, eventually, and will be able to love another. But the first true love leaves a permanent impression that never goes away!

Answer 9

Have wild, no strings attached, safe sex with a hot new person. And, some women will give extra TLC to a guy who's been hurt, just because they want to help make him happy again.

Answer 10

Move straight on to the next person.
