Is it possibly to get over the love of your life?

My ex and I broke up about a year ago, after being together for two years. Telling you he was the love of my life is an understatement. He fully understood me, loved me and all of my flaws and i felt it all the time. He never judged me and he was always teaching me more about myself and life.

We broke up because I want to get married and have a family. Even if not at the time, I wanted one with him. He mentioned in the beginning of our relationship that he doesn’t believe in the construct of marriage, but I guess I brushed it off because I loved him so much. Two years later we had another conversation about it, but he couldn’t change his mind and I loved him so much I didn’t want to force him into something he didn’t want.

A year later, I started a new relationship, and my new boyfriends so great and I love him so much. We had the marriage talk and he wants the same thing as me. It’s just a different relationship. And I’m trying so hard to leave my ex in the past but I just can’t stop missing him both as a lover and friend.

It’s so hard to get over someone when it didn’t end on bad terms. I wish he cheated or was an asshole, but he wasn’t at all. We just didn’t want the same thing for our future.

How do I get over him? Will I ever?
