You need to move on, it's hard, but it's true. It takes time. A long time for your heart to soften and let go, to move on. Dating is a good idea. Meet others, and give them a chance to connect with you. The part in the middle, when you cut yourself loose - it's hard. It's hard to let go of a dream and try to find a new life to move on to. It takes time and strength, and a way to assist with that (no matter how terrible it may seem) is to stop talking to your ex. If you two communicate well, tell her why, so that she is not hurt terribly. But let her know, and she should respect it. You need time and independence in order to prepare yourself for new loves. You will fall in love again. Be strong and believe in yourself. Focus on other things that you like and care about, and in time everything will fall into place. Good luck :) 8162010

This is harsh, but you need a reality check. GET OVER IT. Period. I cannot believe you have wasted 10 years on this person, never giving yourself a chance to find love with someone else. You need to experience life, and one of the best parts of life is good sex with someone you care about. Your ex is right, you need to move on, and NOW. 1232011
