Question - (23 February 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 23 February 2008)
A female Singapore age 18-21, anonymous writes:

My ex broke up with me silently a few months ago.. We had a great relationship.. I'll never really know why he left me.. Maybe we were just not meant to be.. I've accepted the fact that he's gone but I still can't get over him.. I know he's a complete jerk for leaving me hanging on the strings.. But even when I hate him, I still love him so much and I really miss him.. I heard that he couldn't bear to break up with me so he just left like that.. Typical coward.. We've been friends for such a long time and I'm sad that our friendship is gone because of this relationship.. He was such a great friend.. I heard that he has a new girlfriend now and he seems happy.. I'm happy for him but I'm still hurt.. It's affecting my future relationships.. Everytime I meet someone new, I'll keep thinking of him and I'll end up dumping that guy.. I just miss him so much as no guy I meet can ever replace him.. I just wish that we could remain friends like before.. But he's totally gone from my life and I'll never ever see him again.. How do I get over him??

q1605 agony aunt That hooking up and dumping new guys is why they say not to go right back out to test the waters right away. That this guy just evaporated and didn't give you a chance to talk about the break up doesn't speak very well of him and its probably why you are having such a hard time getting over him. That you compare new guys to him is OK as long as he is just sort of a bench mark and from there you move up. As he moves farther from your immediate thought he will blend in with the others and become a composite of guys that will serve you as you move through life

baby duck agony auntYou need to be alone UNTIL you get over him.

You are correct: the friendship is over. Pick up your lessons and leave the baggage behind. Develop your relationship with yourself. Then you will be ready for someone new. If you are comparing, you are not ready.

Create your own peace.
