Getting over my partner

Hey, me and my partner split up recently after a year together. I'm 19 - first serious boyfriend blah blah, was reluctant to split with him. I suggested a two month break, he is in leeds at uni and I am at sunderland uni. It really didn't work for me, but it was fine for him. The break was for while we both did exams, we have a lot going on and we agreed to be friends during this time. I would literally cry every night and the communication was so bad between us that he thought everything was fine.

Since then hes just stopped talking to me, and will ignore me when I try to talk to him. He's doing nothing but posting on Facebook about how much of a great time hes having getting drunk in Leeds with people. I know in my heart I made the right decision now, because I thought he cared, which he obviously doesn't!

My question is how to just let go of him and move on with my life!? We were pretty intense and now its difficult I feel lonely.
I found it really hard in the break up with my ex who was my first and had been with him for 2 years, but I found it easier as time went on :smile:

Block him on everything, like Facebook, Twitter etc. If you're seeing his posts you are going to think about him, and if you can access his profiles you will most likely browse down them when you do think about him. It isn't healthy in a break up and will most likely set you back from getting over him. Delete his numbers too so you can't talk to him.

Occupy yourself with other things, study, find new hobbies, meet new people, hang out with your friends more and just socialise. Distracting yourself makes it much more easier. Time heals everything and you will be able to get over him even though it is pretty difficult at first. You are going to think about him, maybe before you're going to sleep or when you have nothing else to do, but instead of thinking the memories you had with him and his good points, think of the bad points he has instead. It'll kinda put you off him and help you to move on. Good luck :smile:
