How did you get over a ex?

Question

It's very hard for me I cannot get over my ex I keep trying to talk to him and he clearly doesn't want me. I guess being pregnant isn't helping what can I do to get over him? I can't stop texting him calling him even though he is being a asshole I still love him. What did you ladies do to get over someone you love?

Answer

It might be difficult for you but I blocked my ex on literally EVERYTHING. All social media so I wouldn’t see him, then blocked and deleted his number so I wouldn’t have the urge to message him. Stowed away all the gifts he gave me in a box in my closet (I’m sentimental so I don’t like to throw away gifts) so that I wouldn’t be surrounded by memories of him. Also deleted friends of his off of social media, which wasn’t hard because they weren’t even my friends, just associated with my ex, causeI didn’t want them seeing what I was doing and it getting back to him.

Answer

Block him on everything including social media. Not talking really helps. And not having that outlet to talk makes it easier. I didn’t get over my ex for such a long time (we were together for 4 years and lived together the entire time) and part of the reason was because I wanted something I couldn’t have. We broke up because we just had a somewhat toxic relationship at times. Fast forward to now, I saw him recently and he’s looking like shit and has nothing going for him, where I started a successful photography business and have a family. Hate to say it, but it felt good. I’m 100% over it now. I hope it gets easier for you! It took me years 😕

Answer

Been there done that. It takes time. You have to give yourself room to heal. The rejection is hard I know but start taking baby steps. Accept that it’s over and start doing new things! You’re only hurting yourself honey. You can’t make someone want you. Trust me I tried and it didn’t work! I hope you find the strength to move on. It’s hard I know but you can do it.

I started out with building a new routine and environment for myself ... instead of going straight home I took a walk after work and I changed the decor in my room it sounds little but it helped me feel like I was making a fresh start and then I went on Groupon and looked for fun things I could do alone like taking a cooking class did some painting classes and I learned to be ok with being on my own slowly but surely I stopped thinking about him and then two years later I met the man of my dreams

Answer

With my ex I threw out all his stuff and blocked him on social media and my phone. I deleted his phone number off my phone so I couldn't text him or call him even if I wanted to. It took some time, but eventually I got over him. 
With my boyfriend (we broke up at one point years ago) I had to box up everything that reminded me of him. I even had to buy new sheets. I just kept everything under my bed and tried to forget about it. I couldn't listen to music that reminded me of him or watch movies we'd watched together. I did initially keep in contact with him over social media and we'd call/text. But that made it so much worse. I finally started letting him go when I deleted him off social media and then eventually I cut off all contact and blocked his number. It was so hard to do and it took me.months to actually do, but once I did I actually finally started to beleive that I could move on and find someone else. I never fully moved on as he drove across the country through two snow storms to see me (he couldn't get a hold of me any other way as I'd changed my email, phone number, etc) and we got back together. 
So my advice is to block him, get rid of his stuff, delete his number, change your email, /social media, etc. Just make it as hard as  possible for him to contact you or for you to  contact him. And then get rid of the memories. Its easier to move on when you don't have the reminders. Eventually you will let go and move on. It takes time and that sucks and it hurts a lot. But eventually youll wake up and you won't miss him anymore.
