How do I get over my first "serious" relationship?

Question

I devoted everything to this girl, and i tried to make her happy in anyway i could. it lasted over two years, but now she has decided that she wants to move on. it wasnt a story book relationship ( are there really any?) but i imagined the rest of my life with her. she says that she doesnt want to make it work anymore. i know it could work if she put effort into it, but she doesnt want to and i cant make her. i hear everybody's suggestion and understand them, but its so hard to move on. it really hurts. how is it that we could love someone so much and try to do nothing but the best for them and not get the same in return?

Answer 1

You won't be over her until you're through with your NEXT relationship. At that point your mind and emotions will indeed be full of other things to crowd her out.

At least, that's how it will be if you're like I was when I was young ...
