A female age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My ex and I broke up last year. I was miserable the first few months. I still cry if I think about how I spent those days. We were together for 3 years. Some people say that it takes half time of the relationship to heal. I'm putting the pieces of my heart back together. I keep myself busy and I know I'm on the right track. It's just recently I miss him so much. I would remind myself how badly he treated me and how much I hate him if I miss him. It doesn't work. He's in a new relationship 3 months after the breakup. I blocked him and his girlfriend on Facebook. I wonder how and what he's doing, and even had a thought of unblocking him. I keep thinking about the good memories we had. I always thought about what I would say to him if he came back. I know we would never work out. He never came back, though. It's been a year and it hurts so much that he could move on so fast since I thought he loved me more than I loved him. Is it normal that I still miss him? Should I really consult a psychologist?

There are no rules for this. I still miss my ex and I know he misses me because he still contacts me although I haven't responded. I almost feel guilty not responding due to many circumstances. If you think therapy would help then try that. I hope you move on eventually and get over these feelings because he sounds like he was a lousy bf.

Do not listen to sacrilegious. I'm a male, late 20s, and still miss my ex from two years ago. We were together 3 years and she was the love of my life. I've dated other women but the hole is still there. My main problem is continuing to talk to my ex. Talking to a therapist is helping. Please talk to a therapist to help you overcome this and get out there and meet someone right for you. Best of luck and take care of yourself!

I know how you feel....but it is over two years and I still miss him. When we broke up he had a girlfriend living in our house 2 weeks later!!! He has moved on and I'm still missing him. What a waste of my time.

I do all kinds of things to keep myself occupied but my memories linger back. I too will get there and move on but until then I am trying to get back to being the old me. You will get there too. Just take the time you need and love yourself.

Good Luck

Sageoldguy1465 agony auntWomen seem to have the ability to "miss" an ex- for a year... or, even more.....

Guys, on the other hand, are only required to "miss" the girl they dumped (or, who dumped them) until that moment when they find their NEXT babe who will put out for them.

This is one of the BENEFITS of being a man. (There aren't many others!!!!)

Good luck....
