I broke up with my first serious long term relationship June of last year. We went out for 6 years. I haven't spoken with her since October except to say happy birthday.
Honestly I'm still feelings the effects of her being gone, but time really heals all wounds. I consider October our actual break up date since we were planning to reconcile, but didn't work out. The first 2-3 months are hell. From there, I got a little bit numb to everything. I may have a momentary lapse of weakness and feel sad, but otherwise things carry on as normal.
Some things you can do:
Don't talk to her anymore at all. It gets pretty easy after 3 weeks or so. Imagining beng friends with my ex and listening to her talk about her new man is something that keeps me away. Block her on Facebook, delete her number, and email.
Get rid of all the little memorabilia. All those gifts? Either throw them out or keep them in a box hidden away somewhere. Personally I deleted all our pictures, threw out all the little love notes and all the other little things that brought back painful memories.
Go to the gym and stay active. Hang out with friends and concentrate on things that make you happy.
When you're ready, start dating.
Wish I would have read this post before posting. This guy knows what's up.
