I know this sounds like every other person after they break up, but I Can't get over my ex boyfriend. We were together for about 5 months and it was wonderful and I fell so deeply in love with him. We broke up about 5 in a half months ago. The worst part of this situtation is his mom made us break up. He never has thought for himself and has always been that way. We snuck around for those 5 months and even though I couldn't stand it I also loved it because I had him. IT got to the point where his mom said either his family or me and obv. He picked his family. When we broke up we both cried and just said we'd move on because we couldn't be together... six months later I still cry about him and think about him nonstop. We have everything in common and I felt like we were meant to be. What can I do? I've tried everything to get over him, and it won't work.

I'm sorry to hear that
But for me, I think
Parents should not intervene .If he is an adult then he knows what he have to do and this non of his mom's bussniss.. I'm tired of thos parents who think that they have the right to intervents of their son/Daughter
And if your boyfriend was deeply loves you.. will also struggling for love
Good luck

Sounds like this is a guy you don't want.. either he's a mama's boy or he's got some deep emotional problems. No matter how close I was to my family I would never dump someone I was in love with because my family didn't like the person.. it's a really Odd thing to do. And you don't want to be involved in that... his mom definitely has power over him.. and think if you guys do end up getting back together it's going to be drama constantly and if you get married, it could destroy the marriage, I've heard of that happening plenty of times,

As for you.. you haven't gotten over him because I think you probably still have hope that he will see the light and come back to you.. and more than likely that's not happening.. You need to tell yourself that this chapter in your life is done. You need to come to the realization that it's over. You delayed the healing process and yes it's tough, but you need to move on. You need to do things for yourself and meet new people..

First step except that it's over and you'll slowly begin to feel better, time really does heal your pain.

I think the critical piece of information here is the age of the couple.

While it may be correct to tell someone who is 18 or older not to let their parents determine who they date, if they are younger, maybe even MUCH younger, that advice is a little off base.

You will have other boyfriends. You will have other break-ups.

The only real cure for this feeling is time. Some require more time than others.

You will feel better, eventually, I can almost guarantee it.

Thanks so much, I hear it from family and friends. And I've sat here for this period of break up and told myself that it won't happen but I do see him on a daily basis at our high school and he always looks at me and it makes me feel like he's hurting inside so bad, and I care about him so much, and then it gets me thinking of the things we said to each other and how we felt... all I have to say is it's hard, but I guess I have to just pretend it never happened, and move on but I guess I'm the type of person who's going to sit here and hold on.

I think the way it happened is so hard to accept. Once you get over that things will be easier. Why did HIS parents break you two up?
