It's all depends on you, dear. We can't 100% forget someone who meant so much to us. You can try avoid any activities related to him and try to be busy with your own stuffs. Focus on your own career/study/hobby. I'd start on clearing out the status of the relationship, don't delay. Do you still want to hold on or cut off ? Take your time on deciding though. no rush. Then you decide from there, to try forget & move on. It'll take a long time but it's okay. It's not your fault and you should prioritize yourself. You have my best wishes :)
in my opinion it’s impossible to fully forget someone that you love dearly... even after 10 years that person had already been part of your life.. instead of forgetting, I suggest to make this a lesson and a reason to step forward and discover more about yourself... I don’t know How you exactly feel and if you hve doubts about yourself but if you do then learn to forgive yourself... you gave what you can give and I think people like you are worth loving... so I hope you learn to love yourself more than anyone... make that experience a lesson in order for you to make wiser decisions that would benefit you more than anybody... because your worth it :) I don’t know If I helped but yeah.. I hope you feel better on the future
Update. I ended up in a toxic cycle for a total of 10 years. Slowly I was accepting my script. Didn’t overthink or over perform. Then one day I chose him and left my ex behind. We’re a new couple. I haven’t forgotten my ex I just stopped reminding myself to remember. Move on.
I’ve knew my ex boyfriend for 4 years coming on 5 we dated for nearly 2 years and about 4 months but we kept seeing each other for another 3 months. He’s going away to further his education which I’m happy about but what really puts me off edge is how little I meant to him. All this time he wanted to enjoy his time with me until he had to leave. I was clear to him that I wanted something that would last a lifetime but here he goes acting like I never came off like that. Point being that I was used : ) and even though I love him deeply I want to forget everything about him. Help.
