Hello!

I haven’t been with my ex for almost three years and I dont know how to move on. I still think about him a lot but I really want to move on. He was such a nice guy who helped me through some bad things but then just walked out one day with no explanation. I am wondering if its because I was never told why as to why I’m holding on or worried there may have been other reosons but its been ages and I need to forget. How do others deal with this?

You'll need to check this email to complete your signup.
  • More active with positive activity you like or might be you can start open you heart to others if you ready for that.


  • you need to make a network of friends get into single parent group meet new people. By doing this you will forget and meet someone that is more than that. Or you could get in contact with him or a friend of his to find out if you think that will bring closure.


  • If you have a way to contact him, and you feel confident enough to do it, then do so, and ask him why he left. But you also have to be prepared for whatever he might tell you, and it may not be something that you want to hear. Moving on is hard, especially without ” closure”, but if you can’t or don’t want to ask him, you’re just going to have to bite the bullet and let it go. Won’t be easy (I’ve been there, and it took me over 4 years), but I felt so much better when I realized I wasn’t thinking about my ex any more. Good luck!


  • I think what you really need is closure in order to move on. Not knowing why makes it harder because you wonder if you made a mistake you might make it again. Maybe he wasn’t the nice guy he looked to be. If you can find out why it may help.


  • I agree, if you could contact him just to find out why you might be able to move forward


  • Do you know how to contact him and ask him why? I think you’re probably right and knowing why he left would help you get past this. I’m sorry you feel like you do and that I can’t offer anything else.


  • if you never get closure, you never move on. not unless someone comes and makes you feel the way you need


  • I can understand why it is difficult as you never got any closure. Perhaps writing a letter would help to give you the closure you need.


  • I have not had to deal with this, but you may benefit from a few counselling sessions to help you move forward. good luck.
