If you ever want to have a successful relationship again, then you are going to have to get over your first love. Most of us have those first loves and then watch them as they go away. We let them go. A certain few hold onto that first love, though. If this is you, then you need to read this article, which will read like a self-help on how to get over that first love.

Out of sight often means out of mind. If you really want to get over that first love, then quit talking to them. Get rid of your means of communication. Block their internet name, delete their phone number, and cut it all off. This might sound difficult, but it will be the best thing for you. You will feel some hurt and some pain to begin with, but eventually you will see the benefit of this break in communication. If you really want to get over that person, it is essential not to even try to be friends. It will not work that way. If you get as far enough away from them, then you will get over them quickly. Never, under any circumstances, put yourself through having to witness the terrible experience of them getting over you.

You will love again. Remember that. It is not the end of the world when you break it off. Everybody had a first love that they had to get over at some point. Ask around to those who are closest to you. How did they get over it? What exactly did they do to move on? If you learn these things, you will stand a better chance of getting over that first love of yours.

my gf just broke up with me yesterday, we were engaged which is making it extra hard. She broke up with me and i cried the whole of yesterday and today its all i can think about. She was my first love and i wasnt hers so i dont think she is taking it as hard as me. I just dont know what to do, i miss her so much but i respect her descion to break up with me and will not mither her or call her. I just wish she missed me too.

I am going through a break up with my first love as being openly gay. She meant the world to and I made so many plans that would last us a lifetime. However, during the relationship she found someone else and allowed our relationship to continue and suffer. Though I knew something was wrong, I didn't want to be doubting Jane and accuse her of something I had no proof of. Turns out, she was cheating. After a big argument we had where she asked to leave, she did, and ran into the arms of another woman. It hurts now so deeply because I thought she would never do that to me. We agreed to be friends and though I never, ever cheated on her - never even thought about it - it i wasn't perfect to her. But it still hurts to know that she was able to get over me so quickly and move on just as fast, while we were still together. She even moved out of the state so I understand the out of sight out of mind concept. I understand now that a friendship can not survive. Especially now that she is engage

Hey all well I have been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years I am pregnant now with his first child. You would think that a guy would treat his only child's mother with respect and loyalty. NOT MY BOYFRIEND!!! Well I can't say I am a saint here but I cheated on him real early in the beginning and he was very distraught. Make a long story short that was 2 1/2 years ago. Not but a couple of weeks ago I have caught him in the act of so many things and I just can't take it anymore so I am actually in the break up process which is hard because I am pregnant now and want to give my daughter the chance to grow up in a "happy" household but if momma isn't happy then it really doesn't matter now does it???

I was with my boyfriend for 2 years. He was my very first love. We were engaged to be married in August. He was 19 and I was 18. I gave him everything but I always felt like he was just never happy. Wether he wanted to go to a party or get a new tattoo it didnt matter how I felt. It hurt so hard when I broke up with him. Usually he did the breaking up but this time I knew I was being treating unfairly. I had to literally move 1000 miles away. It is still hard and sometimes I want to die. He already has a girlfriend and he has called me saying he would move for me. I fell for it once and I knew it wouldnt pan out. The truth is girls it kills you inside and you want to die but We deserve better and there hopefully is a prince charming that will make us forget about our ex's.

I was with my boyfriend for 2 in a half years and we had a lot of problems in the relationship but finally i was tired of it so i broke up with him about 3 months ago. Now hes seeing someone else and wont even talk to me, or have anything to do with me. I call him all the time and he doenst answer or return them. so one day i called and he had the girl answer the phone and wtold her to tell me he didnt want to talk to me. we live right across the street from each other and it gets so hard. my feelings have never been that hurt before. what do i do to make him see i can do better and move on without him? Also do you think if he loved me like he said he did he would of still let her answer the phone because i know i love him and i would never do that!!!
