Stuck in the past; need help to move forward

Tagged as: Breaking up, The ex-factor<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (30 May 2011) 3 Answers - (Newest, 30 May 2011)
A male United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Its been a few months since I ended a relationship because my gf was cheating emotionally.

Before this relationship that just ended I had a relationship with a woman named Katherine that lasted five years. Even when I was with my last girlfriend, I kept thinking and dreaming about Katherine. Now that I have broken up, I keep thinking of her even more. Katherine has since found the love of her life, married and has two children. I know its all over and I can never have her. I don't know how to stop thinking about her and move on. I don't have control over the constant dreaming of her which keeps me tethered to her

Please help me with ways of moving on. I am already active doing lots of volunteer work, gym, my kids etc. Staying busy doesn't help that much.

lysha agony auntkeeping yourself busy hadnt worked so in all honesty hun the only thing i can suggest is dating to see if someone sweeps you of your feet;)

for some people making friends helps a bit because then you know their still in your life and it hurts a little less, not sure wether this would work for you though,

hope this gets better for you :)

hi, iv been in a similar situation to u, so i know how u must be feeling, it hurts to know that you no longer are part of their lives. and being in many relationships or a few doesnt help the 'grieving process', IT WILL heal in good time, these dreams are jsut reminding you to let go, not to hold on. id weep over them, and it helped. ALOT! i cme to a point where i cudnt cry over him no more so eventually my feelings for him became numb. You just need to give urself some more credit and try not to think too much into it! just continue to keep urself busy, coz honestly, thats the only thing that you can do, ul have ur ups and downs but eventually it'll just fade away. BUT ALL IN GOOD TIME. Dont rush yourself.

Hope this has helped.
