How to get on with life after a break up?

Question - (2 February 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 2 February 2009)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Six months ago, I went through a break-up with someone I am truly in love with. We went our seperate ways, but about two months ago, he stumbled back into my life (single again, of course.) I still felt the same way about him, and after a month, I told him I just couldn't do this. We tried the whole friends thing, and it's just not working. He's angry with me right now for speaking the truth about how I felt.

I know he's just not that into me. He keeps giving me excuses that he just can't be in a relationship, his life isn't going the way he planned, he's stressed with work, blah blah blah. Bottom line, if he wanted me in his life, he'd keep me there.

I want to jump the ball and just get on with my life, but I've never just walked away from someone I truly feel I love. I know it's going to be hard, but I don't want to hold onto 'well he might call'... he's not going to call.

Any advice on how to get on with life now? Instead of waiting and dragging out the pain!?

The best thing to do is to find something/someone new to occupy your thoughts. If he's not into you, he's not into you so you don't need to think about him. Find something that will distract you till you don't even need it to distract you. It might be hard at the start, but it'll get better. x

huneygyrl agony auntAre you still in high school? Or are you attending college?

Keep yourself busy with what's most important in your life. If school is one of them, let that be. If you have kids, focus on them. Find a hobby. Go to the gym. You can't put all your eggs in one basket.

There's a man out there that will give you that time.
