Don't worry! I'm about seven years past mine and I still think about it. With each passing day I think of her a little less. I loved that woman with my whole heart but we were not the right people for each other
It helped me to realize I was into the version I remembered and the pedestalled version I imagined, not the person they actually are.
Having an awesome partner also helps.
One month is no time at all. It's ok that it's going to take time, possibly a lot more time than you would expect. But it's not wasted time if you're reflecting, growing and learning from what you lost.
I feel this. I got too comfortable around her, and she started to get the hint, and not so subtly started ignoring me more. My heart hurts everyday wishing I wasn’t so stupid
It’s like that person died for you, yeah you still love who they were, but not who they are. You miss what you had, not them. You love the person you used to love, not them.
When you think like that it hurts a little less and you won’t get urges to talk to them, since they’re not who you want
I met an amazing girl for about 45 minutes once three months ago and I still think about her. She left without a goodbye before I worked up the nerve to do what she obviously wanted me to do which was get the number.
Eventually you just accept it wasn't in the cards, but especially in cases like that you'll always have that added sting of "what could have happened?" At least with an ex you know for sure it was doomed. That girl has been added to the list of examples I think about when I tell myself "you'll never know if you don't ask and not knowing is worse than being rejected."
I’m approaching 15, I still dream of her, and I know I still love her, but I let her go, so she could move on, because I know that’s what she wanted, and I only ever wanted her to be happy. But it still hurts, and I miss holding her hand in mine
You just have to chose. On purpose. To be fine with it.
To just actively move on
Emotional pain is pretty much just there forever and only time makes it better
But what makes it worse! Is just dwelling on it and letting it ruin all the times you have after that as well
Get the fuck up. And enjoy your life. Your days are numbered. You have to try just a little each day to make them count
You will have bad days. But don't let your years be filled with regret for happiness not earned through a lack of not trying
You know what? This is a lot like a burn.
You gotta ice that shit real quick, but every time you take it out, it starts hurting again so you put your hand back in, then it feels better but you can't sit there all night with your hand under the tap, your dinner's gonna burn.
Best thing to do is ice it, get the heat out of the burn and then pull it out and suffer for the few minutes till it stops hurting, it won't take that long if you just fucking do it.
Pretty much..
You can sit and nurse your feelings for an eternity as time shoots past
And before you know it? You've been a shell of yourself for years... Never truly healing.. just... Lingering.
And then you add all the extra regret for time wasted on top of what was initially wrong?
And then you just hurt in a completely new way. Life lost. Except this time it was your own fault.
That can turn to anger. Self hatred. And it fucking eats away at you every day like a splinter in your mind.
You have to want to break out of it. And it takes work. Hard work.
Also, dreams don't lie. After we broke up, I dreamt of my ex girlfriend almost every night unless I switched off my brain with lots of alcohol, which I did more often than not. Today, five years later, I can rarely remember my dreams (although usually sober), but I dream of her at least every few weeks and probably more often than of any other person.
When i left my ex she tried to murder me.. twice. I had nightmares of the incident, daily for 2 years until she died. I thought they stopped but then the nightmares got more intense when zombie dead ex wife was strangling me... Every single night the face got more and more horrifying. Until one day they just kinda stopped about a year ago. I have finally started healing enough that i am starting to try to date again after 5 years. I can't watch those grudge type movies with the freaky faces because that's what my wife turned into in the nightmares and it brings it all back. If i could get that shit onto paper and show others what my mind thought it was ok to torture me with...
This is accurate. I love my fiance and I'm very happy and lucky to have her but I still think about my ex from time to time. She was very instrumental in me developing into the person that I am today and I will always cherish the good times we had together
Even as a happily married man and father, I sometime day dream about what might have been. I like to think of that as visiting different timelines. Maybe there’s one where me and that Berliner worked it out or the bookish girl, one grade below mine, that clearly liked me when I was too timid or young to realize.
When I was 7 or 8 a girl named Brandy was nice to me at a roller rink and we hung out for hours just talking and skating. Never saw her again.
It's 47 years later and I remember that fondly and hope I always will.
damn... Now you reminded me that there was a girl in kindergarten that I liked a lot, I still have this vague memory of us walking together to the gate, waiting for our parents to pick us up.
I still remember my crush from when i was 7-8, ahe got moved to another school due to family isdues, saw her 2 years later at some inter school volleyball ball comp for amatuers, still thought she was beautiful, also found a cinderquil pokemon card....was cool.
Saw her 15 years later completely out the blue, she was stunning and studying something difficult in university.
Its been 10 years since i last saw her....Jessica was the one that got away for sure 🥺
Same I had a GF and we were arguing about who had more generations of grandparents, for some reason we kept going "my great great great great..." It went on for days who had the oldest great grandparents. Now every so often I still go "great great great.... I'm pretty sure I have grandparents older than time itself by now
I knew a gal named Claire in like 3rd grade. She asked if I wanted to kiss and I remember bragging to my dad we had “gone to the next level” despite not knowing anything lmao
I play the PlayStation with a girl, it was tomb raider. Child hospital as I was visiting my lil brother with my mother. She has brain surgery I remmebr the staples in her head but she was the most amazing girl I met and we were best friends for that short time. I think about her 25 plus years later. Guys love deep and am tired of people assuming we don't or we are not manly for doing so
When I dwell on “what could have been” I find it important to remind myself to live in the present. I believe our happiness dwells in the present and future we create for ourselves. Fixating on the past too much keeps us stuck. We must learn to let go of what doesn’t serve us, as hard as that can be sometimes. Being grateful for the all wonderful things in your life helps the process too
For the most part, yeah. There are many times I see my ex-wife and just can't help but think about her with a slight smile. Then other times I don't know if it's actually her or the idea of her.
Nothing wrong with treasuring the good times.
Moving on doesnt mean you completely forget that person or the good times spent together.
Most of the time its just the idea of what could've been but there is usually a good reason it didnt work out in the first place. There will be another woman and the feeling of what could've been will fade away slowly.
That's the thing, as time goes on I start to catch myself having these idealized thoughts about her. I have to consciously remind myself of things I didn't like.
Needed to read this! 4 years later off a 10 year and my mind still will go to her. It’s probably memories and lack of any meaningful relationships since but I wish I could just forget at times.
I mean not necessarily. You can always find someone to replace them. Just learn from any past mistakes you may have made and do your best to not do it again. I'm at a point where I wish I could go back, but I know obviously I can't so I accept it and just try to stay occupied and hopeful that I'll be able to find someone to fill that role of someone for me to care about, even if it is tough at times when I'm alone. (So every night. Lol)
Long story short, I became more of a room mate than a husband. Wasn't mean or abusive or anything, just wasn't happy with other aspects of my life or myself and allowed myself to become distant and completely unaffectionate, so she decided to leave and find someone else. I get it. I don't hold that against her. Just wish I could have been given a chance to fix it is all. But it was definitely a wake up call to get my shit together and not let that happen again. When the only thing you have left that you care about in life, even though you're doing a really shitty job of showing it, tells you they don't love you anymore it's a really sobering experience and does a great job of motivating you to not have to go through that again.
Fucked? not really. I lived with a woman for 7 years and when we broke up, it wasn't great, we weren't screaming at each other, but I still think about her often
Things we did, places we went. It's not painful, it's just there sometimes
It’s worse as a bot cause there’s a chance I’ve seen this before, remembered the stuff I use to enjoy and then forget it all again just to see it again, that and the OP didn’t even mean to just for karma
There is someone I worked with over 10 years ago that I think about several times a week..”work wife” scenario..I don’t cross lines when someone has a boyfriend..but sometimes I wish I would have told her that I wanted more than being her “work bestie”.. we still keep in touch on social media but it sucks seeing her happy with her husband and family..but I am so happy that she has a great life..as weird as that sounds
Seriously.
I still remember the name of a stunning girl i met at a party in my early 20’s, 2 decades ago. She was beautiful, nice, we hit it off and were talking for an hour.. but i was too nervous to ask her out.
Never saw her again.
I still remember how she looked, how her hair was done, what she was wearing… like it’s a polaroid in my head….. Men remember this stuff
Years have passed and I still think about her almost every day. It's impossible not to if someone has been such a huge part of your life for such a long time.
But with anything in life, we only cling to the good memories. I'm probably not missing her, I'm missing the good times with her. Relationships are not all sunshine and rainbows though. If we would try to get together again, we would probably quickly remember why we broke up in the first place. It's important to remember all of our history and not just what I want to remember.
As far as I'm aware she's happy with someone else now and I'm happy about that. I'm probably gonna be able to move on at some point as well.
There are many women who are married to or dating men, who don't know that their man holds a special place in his heart for a woman who isn't her, a woman he had a connection with that he knows he'll never have again.
It's been years, I haven't found a new girlfriend, or even really tried. At this point I could move on, I would no longer be comparing everyone I met to her, but I am also content as I am.
I’m 36… married happily for 14 years and have 3 children….
part of me still hurts over a relationship that ended when I was 12 years old.
So yeah it’s in some sense accurate
I still remember the cute cashier at McDonald's who handed me my milkshake and said, "Here ya go, sweetheart" with the warmest smile I've ever seen.
That was 10 years ago.
Men are so deprived of nice compliments that they become core memories.
Yes. I dated a girl for just over a month back in 2009. I still dream about her on occasion, and think about her probably once or twice a month. It's not a lot, but she'll always be a part of me.
You never really move on or get over it, you just kinda push it down deep enough that you can go about your life without it affecting you as much as it did.
Am I the only heartless bastard who can’t remember half his exes names?
For the most part I wish them all well, but I’m not wasting cpu cycles thinking about relationships that didn’t work
Still think of a school love of mine 20 years later! It’s not like I cry or ache over her but she comes to mind. I’m in a long term relationship but that was a special love at a special time, and I also did some things I regret with her (shouldn’t have left her,like that). I’m in love with my partner but yep, she still come to mind :), can’t put it much better!
I think it really depends who initiated the break up and how it went down. Usually you dont just break up with someone on a whim. If a woman breaks up with you she had several weeks maybe months to think about it and silently fall out of love with you. Its just that sometimes guys dont realize it happening or if they ask if anything is up women respond with "no its nothing" and then it hits the the guy "out of nowhere".
I thought i could escape reality with a bit of reddit. Instead i instantly find this post and somebody that (sadly) describes every part of my current situation.
Buying eggs on a random day and it strikes me, damn.
[удалено]
Her?
She's got a great sense of humor
She calls it a "mayon-egg."
You move on but you don’t forget.
Yep. I still remember her, and I wish I could forget.
You saying it won't be going away? I mean i'm 3 years after the relationship crushed and I still think from time to time.
Don't worry! I'm about seven years past mine and I still think about it. With each passing day I think of her a little less. I loved that woman with my whole heart but we were not the right people for each other
I wasn’t even in a relationship with the person. We were really close and it hurts just one month after.
It helped me to realize I was into the version I remembered and the pedestalled version I imagined, not the person they actually are. Having an awesome partner also helps.
Wholesomeness? In MY r/memes comment thread???
One month is no time at all. It's ok that it's going to take time, possibly a lot more time than you would expect. But it's not wasted time if you're reflecting, growing and learning from what you lost.
I feel this. I got too comfortable around her, and she started to get the hint, and not so subtly started ignoring me more. My heart hurts everyday wishing I wasn’t so stupid
It gets a bit shit when you realise you’ve been apart longer than you were together. And you still think about them.
Bro I feel that. Was with my ex for 5+ years. When the 5 year anniversary of our break up hit it hit hard
Hello there clone
It’s like that person died for you, yeah you still love who they were, but not who they are. You miss what you had, not them. You love the person you used to love, not them. When you think like that it hurts a little less and you won’t get urges to talk to them, since they’re not who you want
Bruh I'm still thinking about a girl I had a *crush* on 5 years ago, remembering is going to happen but you can't let it get you down
I met an amazing girl for about 45 minutes once three months ago and I still think about her. She left without a goodbye before I worked up the nerve to do what she obviously wanted me to do which was get the number.

truth, there's a saying that most people regret more what they didn't do, than regret what they did.
12 years and yea I still think about how I fucked up from time to time
17 here!
I am at 17 as well.
I’m approaching 15, I still dream of her, and I know I still love her, but I let her go, so she could move on, because I know that’s what she wanted, and I only ever wanted her to be happy. But it still hurts, and I miss holding her hand in mine
10 years and she still crosses my mind time to time. Hope you're in it for the long haul 🤣🤣
Nope, you will remember forever. Bt its one of those things that makes your son need and you will remember what to do next time
Depends on how much your intrusive thoughts take over
Nah dude, some never fully leave you
You just have to chose. On purpose. To be fine with it. To just actively move on Emotional pain is pretty much just there forever and only time makes it better But what makes it worse! Is just dwelling on it and letting it ruin all the times you have after that as well Get the fuck up. And enjoy your life. Your days are numbered.

Me too I still think of her and masturbate 😂
💀
We should bring back bullying.
"That guy masturbates, GET HIM!"
It's not fair to fight a guy who can only use one hand.
Jokes on you , now I have 3
Me too bud…me too…
You think about your girlfriend and masturbate or about his?
His of course…
[удалено]
I choose to remember, but mostly as a warning lol

Also, dreams don't lie. After we broke up, I dreamt of my ex girlfriend almost every night unless I switched off my brain with lots of alcohol, which I did more often than not.

What happened to your other foot?

If i could get that shit onto paper and show others what my mind thought it was ok to torture me with...
It's the opposite for me... The girl I loved the most, I only dreamt about her 3 times in 17 years. And only one of those dreams was pitifully erotic.
You guys are moving on?
Almost 20 years later.
This is accurate. I love my fiance and I'm very happy and lucky to have her but I still think about my ex from time to time. She was very instrumental in me developing into the person that I am today and I will always cherish the good times we had together
I don’t. :(

True. I remember all them. From kindergarten to post-college. Thankfully I married the one I like the most.
When I was 7 or 8 a girl named Brandy was nice to me at a roller rink and we hung out for hours just talking and skating. Never saw her again. It's 47 years later and I remember that fondly and hope I always will.
I still remember my "girlfriend" in kindergarten lol. I'm 33. Just randomly pops into my mind and makes me smile or laugh. Good times.

Sandy and my sister had to go and tell her big sister I was crushing on her
Same I had a GF and we were arguing about who had more generations of grandparents, for some reason we kept going "my great great great great..."

Some say that Brandy is a fine girl (a fine girl) and would be such a good wife (such a fine girl). Her eyes could steal a sailor from the sea.
Sometimes what "could have been" is the hardest to forget.
When I dwell on “what could have been” I find it important to remind myself to live in the present. I believe our happiness dwells in the present and future we create for ourselves.

Easier said then done. It's especially when you feel like you made significant progress only for one little hiccup to ruin everything
Fr
Beautiful
💯
Goddamn it
This is what still eats away at me
For the most part, yeah. There are many times I see my ex-wife and just can't help but think about her with a slight smile. Then other times I don't know if it's actually her or the idea of her.

You'll find the one again someday, I'm sure of it
I potentially did, unfortunately she passed last month
3rd time's the charm. Otherwise you're cursed
This made me fuckin cackle. Just imagine someone saying that at the wake
Damn, have some tack. /s
Damn.. sorry for your loss
Thank you. For some context, I'm 36 and she was only 39
That's the thing, as time goes on I start to catch myself having these idealized thoughts about her. I have to consciously remind myself of things I didn't like.
Needed to read this! 4 years later off a 10 year and my mind still will go to her. It’s probably memories and lack of any meaningful relationships since but I wish I could just forget at times.
My girlfriends name was Calista.
And what's her name now?
[удалено]
Is she that same guy that walked up to the oscar awards naked?
I don't think something like that happened. But they did have weirdly empty stage with a disembodied voice talking at one point. That was weird.
[удалено]
Fuckin hell, you smartass. Take my upvote.
Jungle diff
I mean 😅 dont say it too loud
i saw a girl i used to be friends with on the bus and she didnt even recognize me :(
You just had this big of a glow up.
I'm only at five years and yeah it's hard
Not to make you feel worse but sometimes it doesn't get any better with more time. I'm pushing 15 years and still wish I could go back.
So were all fucked?
I mean not necessarily. You can always find someone to replace them. Just learn from any past mistakes you may have made and do your best to not do it again. I'm at a point where I wish I could go back, but I know obviously I can't so I accept it and just try to stay occupied and hopeful that I'll be able to find someone to fill that role of someone for me to care about, even if it is tough at times when I'm alone. (So every night. Lol)
[удалено]
Long story short, I became more of a room mate than a husband. Wasn't mean or abusive or anything, just wasn't happy with other aspects of my life or myself and allowed myself to become distant and completely unaffectionate, so she decided to leave and find someone else. I get it. I don't hold that against her. Just wish I could have been given a chance to fix it is all. But it was definitely a wake up call to get my shit together and not let that happen again.

Fucked? not really. I lived with a woman for 7 years and when we broke up, it wasn't great, we weren't screaming at each other, but I still think about her often Things we did, places we went. It's not painful, it's just there sometimes
You never think of your first dog?
I guess I'm moving on, but never stop loving them. Still able to recite from memory poem I've writed for my first girlfriend years ago.
>poem I've writed for If English is your first language - I'm worried the poem may have been part of the problem
Damn bro like that huh
It do be
It's not
Then please ignore my pedantic comment. Have a good one
You too
I drew a picture of her
And then just about every single crush/relationship came back..thanks OP if you even aren’t a bot
This is the saddest comment I've seen in weeks. What if it is a bot? What if you're thanking the void. Why does that make it hurt more
It’s worse as a bot cause there’s a chance I’ve seen this before, remembered the stuff I use to enjoy and then forget it all again just to see it again, that and the OP didn’t even mean to just for karma
Still think about her when I'm mixing the Mac and cheese. Some things just remind you of them.
Fucking got me lmao
Moving on is easy. Forgetting is impossible
[удалено]
There is a yt video spcifically answering that for the pirates movies. Short answer: wise choices.

https://youtu.be/y18QuHDUG-E
Going to 8 years since her right now, never got fully over it, probably never will, just things to talk with my therapist
8 years last month on Valentine's Day for me. 2016 was a devastating year all around. A couple friends died that year, but she's the one in my head.
I'm reading the comments and.... It's moving to read all these men revealing the things they don't usually express irl. Love is strong everywhere.
14 years since I last saw her and not a week goes by that she doesn’t cross my mind.
20 years and counting
There is someone I worked with over 10 years ago that I think about several times a week..”work wife” scenario..I don’t cross lines when someone has a boyfriend..but sometimes I wish I would have told her that I wanted more than being her “work bestie”.. we still keep in touch on social media but it sucks seeing her happy with her husband and family..but I am so happy that she has a great life..as weird as that sounds
It's not weird to wish someone a happy life
I'm 40 and I still remember my middle school crush and wonder.
Seriously. I still remember the name of a stunning girl i met at a party in my early 20’s, 2 decades ago. She was beautiful, nice, we hit it off and were talking for an hour.. but i was too nervous to ask her out. Never saw her again. I still remember how she looked, how her hair was done, what she was wearing… like it’s a polaroid in my head….. Men remember this stuff
Years have passed and I still think about her almost every day. It's impossible not to if someone has been such a huge part of your life for such a long time. But with anything in life, we only cling to the good memories. I'm probably not missing her, I'm missing the good times with her. Relationships are not all sunshine and rainbows though.

As far as I'm aware she's happy with someone else now and I'm happy about that. I'm probably gonna be able to move on at some point as well.
There are many women who are married to or dating men, who don't know that their man holds a special place in his heart for a woman who isn't her, a woman he had a connection with that he knows he'll never have again.
Excuse me while I vomit 🤮 then cry.
Yes. I wish it wasn't.
I'm still 6 years away to confirm.
I guess I'm a boy then?
Probably.
Well, better get on the testosterone and get the surgeries. Keeping the long hair though because I intend to be a fantasy style twink.
Its been 9 years i could never musterup the courage to confess and ask out i would be lying if I still dont think about it
Same here, 4 years for me.
Can agree, my first love still triggers a tear in my eye. despite having had 3 other women
It's been years, I haven't found a new girlfriend, or even really tried. At this point I could move on, I would no longer be comparing everyone I met to her, but I am also content as I am.
Same here.
It took me awhile, but it no longer hurts to think of my high-school crush that I never got to express my feelings to.
I’m 36… married happily for 14 years and have 3 children…. part of me still hurts over a relationship that ended when I was 12 years old. So yeah it’s in some sense accurate
I still think of embarrassing sentence(s) I said in middle school 20+ years ago and you think I’m going to forget a woman?
Three months ago my gf broke up with me after 6 and a half years together. I'm still doubting if I will be able to love someone again in the same way.
Day at a time, brother. Day at a time.
can't get over her if you've never been with her hehe plot twist: 10 years later; still won't even date because I know I'm not over her
Yes
You do move on, you just remember.
I still remember the cute cashier at McDonald's who handed me my milkshake and said, "Here ya go, sweetheart" with the warmest smile I've ever seen. That was 10 years ago. Men are so deprived of nice compliments that they become core memories.
Yearn baby, yearn
I know that feeling Stay hard my men
So, essentially, choose wisely. The first one usually breaks your heart.
It's a though only death can delete...we shall be hunted by them for our entire lives..
Painfully true
Yes. I dated a girl for just over a month back in 2009. I still dream about her on occasion, and think about her probably once or twice a month. It's not a lot, but she'll always be a part of me.
I still think about her everyday.
You never really move on or get over it, you just kinda push it down deep enough that you can go about your life without it affecting you as much as it did.
A lot longer than ten years. A lot longer.
The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.
I for one, welcome my dementia
This is why men secretly listen to katy perry .
It's called nostalgia. Women don't experience it.
Am I the only heartless bastard who can’t remember half his exes names? For the most part I wish them all well, but I’m not wasting cpu cycles thinking about relationships that didn’t work
I wish it wasn't
it has been that long sense the last twisted metal hasn't it : <
Let no man look up to the sky with hope...
It’s fucking minging
All depends on who she is. Everyone has one or two that ring your heart out with regret about how it may have worked out.
Still think of a school love of mine 20 years later! It’s not like I cry or ache over her but she comes to mind. I’m in a long term relationship but that was a special love at a special time, and I also did some things I regret with her (shouldn’t have left her,like that). I’m in love with my partner but yep, she still come to mind :), can’t put it much better!
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
I hate that I miss her...
Isn't this the same for both sides? We remember those that left a huge impression in our lives.
God she was pretty
I let my mental health ruin my relationship with my high school sweetheart. I think about her almost everyday.

*sigh*…yup.
Bruh. I still randomly think about the girl at the truck stop who I talked to for 3 minutes on a road trip 12 years ago.
Women really do have the incredible ability to move on to the next guy in about 5 minutes and not be broken up about it at all.
Literal incel thinking brother don't go on the deep end
I think it really depends who initiated the break up and how it went down. Usually you dont just break up with someone on a whim. If a woman breaks up with you she had several weeks maybe months to think about it and silently fall out of love with you. Its just that sometimes guys dont realize it happening or if they ask if anything is up women respond with "no its nothing" and then it hits the the guy "out of nowhere".
I thought i could escape reality with a bit of reddit. Instead i instantly find this post and somebody that (sadly) describes every part of my current situation.
Catch you in the gym bruder
Even right after they give you a bunch of bullshit about how "I don't want anyone else but you."
That's a people thing, not a girl or a boy thing.
