    We seem to be on the same wavelength. Add to that, not to look back. It's over for a reason... it's not what you wanted and you knew it wasn't good for you. The nice bits were lovely, but that was for a time and yet you always knew it was never going to sustain you for the long haul. Your present is what you live for and your future.

    I dated this man for 2years our relationship was OK with the expectations of his so called friend girls he always said they were just friends and nothing else I found that was a lie he also said he did not want a relationship that he was a loner. With that information in hand I moved on with life and got married to another man.I wanted commitment something he said he didn't want. Now that I'm married, moved on with my life he keeps calling me asking why I haven't call him saying how much he misses me. What is it with these men, after moving on with my life he want let go. I don't lead him on as if I want anything further to do with him. I never call him he always call or text me. Where is all these so call friend ladies he has? He's a pain in the . What can say to him so he'll get the message.

    He isn't good for you or your marriage, so you need tell him in no uncertain terms to 'go away'... or your husband has to. Either that or block his emails and texts so he can't reach you anymore.

    My guess is his relationships with other women were superficial to cover his insecurities or if they were like you, figured him out to be a player as well. He's lonely and is reaching out to you for solace.. or as a fallback for when he's feeling insecure with another woman. He has to figure out where he went wrong on his own, and part of that is leaving you alone to get on with your life with your husband.

    Most people can be very devastated,but you should try my teqniche, I'm wuite young but I've had my heart broken before when I was with this chinease girl but instead of doing all of that, I thought to myself f*** it its over it isn't my problem anymore , I just stood the hell up and moved on, I don't know about you but if you have the mind that sais, I don't need anybody but me, like be an independent person but still have a lot of mates, then you get over stuff so fast, I'm not a loner but I just know how to cope on my own, just say to yourself I don't need anybody but me, me is responsible for moving on so lets just move the hell on right away.

    After a break it is going to be rough very rough I also just got out of a long relationship and thought I would never be able to get over it.Honestly just get over it,you will feel a lot better,just hang out with friends and meet new people eventually you will forget about it and realize your better off.

    Also regarding the List of things to do after a breakup, I suggest:

    - meditating
    - getting your legs waxed at a salon
    - going swimming (this is my favourite thing to do, it is so relaxing and revitalising at the same time). Or even just floating on your back is good.
    - someone already suggested this, but I'll say it again, give yourself a make over; get a new haircut and wardrobe (or a few new outfits)
    - get a massage (this is so relaxing and can tune you back into your body)

    And for those that need to, go see a counselor for that extra bit of help.

    They're all great suggestions. I love all those things too, but you can do that for yourself all the time. It's what helps keep you emotionally resilient while in a relationship and helps weather the inevitable storms.

    Add - renovate. Keeps you insanely busy and productive; you feel great about the results and yourself afterwards.

    Yep totally agree a lot of the techniques can be used for a whole bunch of stressful situations. I tend to have those really annoying obsessive thoughts about my ex going around my head a lot and I find that calming the mind helps a lot deal with it.
