How to forget a woman i loved?

I have been in a long distance relationship with a woman for over a year. We live in two different countries and have established a friendly interest which later turned into, what I could feel as Love. We meet in person once for 4 days and had a certain minor problem of missing a flight, and she showed not upset by that and we carried on. After 6 months, she told me that she is upset we missed the flight and so on, which sounded to me as Hypocritical. Anyway, I loved her, cared for her and everything. But we broke up and she hurted me, and I am trying to get her out of my head, I managed a few paces and now it is 6 months but sometimes I get her image in my head again. I want to forget her and hope for advice. I also want to get rid of all her letters and everything from my closet, and think of posting them back to her, or burning them.

    I had a very similar experience back in college with a foreign exchange student. A year after she went home, I visited her with the intent of proposing to her. Long story short... during the visit, I decided not to propose.

    I missed her greatly upon return. While I was still wrestling with my feelings, she went on with her life (and rightfully so), met a guy, became serious, forgot about me... ouch.

    Put your mementos in a shoebox and shove it in the back of a closet. They will one day be happy memories. In the meantime, move on with your life. Miss Right is looking and waiting for you.

    I highly recommend burning the letters and stuff of hers. I did this with my first breakup and it really made me feel better afterwards.

    I've definitely have been there myself! OMG it sucks! It literally took me years to move on.. Anyway.. at least for me I realized in the long run that it was because I started to love him more than myself! Self esteem is so important. When you don't love yourself, no one else will either!

    Whether or not this relates to your situation it should give at least some less experienced people some food for thought, so to speak because that is a common problem.. but anyway, I'd suggest working on YOU for now.. Do things for yourself.. for example, start working out, start working on yourself, and do NOT try to jump into another relationship on the rebound because that is the worst possible thing you can do because you're sweeping the core problem under the rug and it will eventually come back to haunt you!

    we all been there... is your duty now as a man to go on a fcking spree, and keep this as a lesson, never commit again, the pain afterwards it certainly aint worth it.
