I broke up with a girlfriend of 5 1/2 years, heck even had an egagement ring put away when everything started to unravel. While others have suggested what you should do to move on, I will suggest what you should not do. So many relationships end with the clause of but we can still be friends. Its hard but I highly reccomend not doing this. Dont stay in contact, dont call on the phone, cut the strings and be done.

It is 100 times harder if you attempt to keep contact. It doesnt allow you to move on. The phone calls, meeting once in a while, it just doesnt work, its like your stuck in a warp zone because you dont do anything to move on, your sitting stagnant being pulled both ways. The first time you hearshe went on a date, it will tear you up yet you have no right to be mad, its just agonizing, and when you go on a date, you cant devote your attention to the new person because your still stuck.

Its hard to completely cut strings with someone you've beendevoted to so long, but for the well being of yourself, you just have to. Take it from a guy who has been there and made this mistake.
