How do you guys move on from a hurtful ex? Say things ended badly and really unfairly to you. How do you just forget? I don't want to have to pretend like he never existed, and I still have urges to check his Facebook, or send in a good morning text message. I haven't called or texted, but there's this feeling like something is missing from my life without him.

You need time and distance. That's really it. The less you talk to him, the less you'll think about him.

I think what I really want to know is how I convinced myself that that relationship was normal.

Because you loved parts of him, so you tolerated all of him. You ignored the bad parts because the good was really good to you.

So am I just really stupid for letting a guy emotionally **** me over? Who does that? I feel so pathetic especially since he was so hurtful and I still want him back in my life. I don't want this to be the end of things like this.

I don't want this to be the end of things like this. Do you actually miss HIM, or do you miss the love that he gave you when he was actually being a good guy?

Isn't that the same thing? I don't get how guys or people just flip a switch and change into a completrely different person. It makes me want to ask, "hey did you ever love me at all, how can you make up a fight like this and now all of a sudden you hate me?"

managing to get over someone emotionally is very difficult, especially if you were in a relationship. i can relate. i'm still not somewhat over one of my exes i dated back when i was 15/16, and i'm 19 now. it all depends on yourself and what you do. what i suggest is blocking or removing them from all social media, blocking them from texting you, and removing all pictures you have of them, even screenshots of old conversations if you have those.
it's really difficult to do it, but if you're willing to put in the time and effort and be patient with yourself and your feelings, then you can do it. i believe in you! it does take time, so don't feel frustrated or angry at yourself if it's taking longer than you anticipate. everyone gets over things at their own pace. i trust you can do the same.
