My boyfriend broke up with me 3 months ago. I can't seem to get over him. He hasn't talked to me in a week. I work 2 job now so I don't have to sit home and be lonely. I have never been the type to go out and party I like staying home and relaxing. I still cry everyday I just can't get over him. What should I do? I know you say it takes time but nothing is working.

I have had this problem with my last ex.. I just began starting to date. Yes I know that's not really far to the guy that I'm dating but I have gotten over my ex. I just stopped texting him and everything and he finally realized like 2-3 months ago. When I was still dating a guy. And I still talk to him but I keep reminding myself that I got a guy a lot better than my ex. Trust me hun.. there are so many guys out there. And with you being at home. I would just have a girl party and maybe your friends know some guys. :D that would be fun!

I see the issue, you said he has not talked to you in a week,
He should not have talked to you for 3 months and it will be easier to be over him. There is a reason we suggest "no contact" here for many things. Though no contact you learn to move on.

I feel you. Me and my ex have been broken up for just over 3 months now - and I constantly think about him. I have the same problem with NC. I suck at it. Staying in touch hurts me more than not talking to him - every time I see him I miss him more. So I'm trying this NC thing. You would be surprised - when you don't know what they are doing - it hurst a lot less than when you know.
If you don't contact him - it gives you the upper hand. You aren't at his mercy anymore wondering if you will hear from him. Instead - you aren't contacting him - and he doesn't know when he will hear from you.
Every day is different for me - some days I feel great - some days I feel like I did the day we broke up - but it seemslike the great days or at least the middle ground days are increasing in number. Give it time.
Try hanging out with new people - maybe not a new guy - but try to make some new platonic friends and hang out with them - do new things.
Good luck!

Oh wow. You've bascially been torturing your poor self by talking to him.
My ex broke up with me a little over 4 months ago, and I'm almost completely over him. Why? I had to make a choice: my emotional welfare vs. hurting his feelings.
I chose to take care of myself, because he left me and therefore he had no right to be high on my priority list. It's a choice you're going to have to make. Will you continue to suffer for the sake of his feelings, the one that broke your heart, or will you take control of the situation, go No Contact, and allow yourself ample time to heal?
I sincerely hope you make the right decision.

Well obviously you're still staying in contact with him, and that's really what's killing your recovery.

The others said it , you are still in contact with him and that stalls the healing process. It does just take time but it will take a lot more time if you don't lose complete contact and start the healing process instead of being stuck with false hope.
