How to get over someone
13 years ago
Searching for a place where I can talk about my ex and she won't see it. c.c It's either here or ponyfic place, and I don't think they care about my personal life. Not that you guys do either.
Well, in the last month, my ex-fiancee -- who I'm still friends with, inasmuch as we have each other friended on Facebook -- has both gotten a job and apparently gotten into a relationship. And I am incredibly, genuinely happy for her, because at the time we called it off (a year ago next month), she was just so phenomenally depressed and I've had a difficult time chatting with her online because of it. So that she's finally turning her life around gives me hope that she hasn't given up on the world.
But let me repeat something: she's in a new relationship, and I am incredibly, genuinely happy for her. Or I was until I realized that I've been missing her something fierce lately and that's it now. No more wishing. And it's like, shit, what do I do? I have to "get over her", but I don't actually know what that means.
So, uh, suggestions would be helpful. Unfortunately, getting back into dating just isn't an option while I'm in my parents' place. I've done that once before, and it's just not sexy.

As far as getting over someone? Erf. That's a more difficult one. You'll feel bad every now and again, you'll regret things. But if you're a strong enough person you can still move on, simply with time. I guess the biggest trick I can think of, is to not be afraid to talk when you do end up having a problem. You've got friends, and you have no reason not to talk with them. Real friends will let you rant and flail and do what you need to get it off your chest.

As for the amount of contact we have, she hardly ever posts on Facebook. I don't think that's too much, really.
