Is it normal that i am not over my ex from almost a year ago?

Hey everyone, Thanks first for reading. I know this is another "sappy" love heartbreak tale where i tell you I am not over my ex. It is, to start i met this guy about 6 years ago, he was dating someone it didnt work out, I met someone dated for a year, and then we broke up. So i thought of this past guy Zac that was dating someone at the time of meeting. I texted him, same number! He was single and we hit it off! I ended up moving in with a bipolar roomate, things went well for about 4 months. He went to Japan to visit a freind, it was the worst, I fought alot with my roomate and had no where to go to seek help. He came back and then I decieded to move out, she got the electric shut off, that was my breaking point. So he said his lease was up and we should get an APT together, we did. Same day he lost his job :-/ I had an employee that worked for me whos father had his own roofing company- Pulled some strings and he got a job after 2 months unemployeed. He was so great they promoted him in like 3 months! After the promotion things got weird. Maybe it was living together or whatever. We tried though, and then we started to rent a house , a rent to own type deal. Well i ended sleeping on the couch for almost 2 years, i coudlnt stand the snorring, and i am a light sleeper, i tried to get him to go to doc to see about a cpap or some solutions for this, he would never go. So i just slept on couch, it became normal. Sex became maybe 2 times in 9 months. We are 25 and 28 not normal right?! i tried, i suck at cooking and even tried one night, with some champagne and everything, i needed some sexual attention. Nothing. Well i was sick of us acting like siblings. i said we are going on this camping trip with our freinds, after that if things dont change i am leaving, things didnt change, i told him i was, i stayed at a freinds for about 3 days then started to pack my things we talked a lil here and there, and he never asked me, begged me to come back. That killed me. I moved out in August, then in Oct i was driving to work, i saw an accident, a young man hit a tree. He was pinned in the seat by steering wheel. I went down and held this kids hand for about 15 minutes before me and another man could pull him free, 3 men and i stayed with this for a while i was covered in blood and smoke and sut and he ended up dieing a few weeks later. That plays in my head alot, but i was so upset about the break up back then, Now, its all i think of. He doesnt answer me when i send messages - i havent sent more then 3. I am living with people i cant talk about this to anymore cause they are sick of hearing about it. i want him back i want him in my arms and i want to be happy. he wants nothing to do with me. wtf the wrong with me. i just wana be over this.

    Dappled is right, a break up is a bereavement in some ways. But relationships are 50/50 and it takes two. You can't flog a dead horse and unfortunately you can't make someone love you, I don't mean to sound harsh but I speak from personal experience. Times a great healer, all you can do is try your best to distract yourself from any thoughts you don't want to be thinking. When a thought pops in your head make yourself think of something else. Good luck!

    It sounds like you weren't really happy with him, I understand you might want to go back to something familiar, or you think that you want him back, but maybe try to move on first? If you honestly think about it from all angles, and still see him as the only person you want, then maybe try to get him back, but from the sounds of things he isn't the one for you, and you should try to move on.

    I have been in the same boat. I split up with someone about ten or eleven months ago and deliberately decided to be single and to think about her as little as I feasibly could and not date anyone else for a year. We were on and off a few times and always drifted back into something. The hardest part was adjusting to the fact that she really is out of my life for ever and ever and ever. I treated it a bit like a death. It sounds like you haven't yet let go. I know it's tough but you owe it to the next person you're in a relationship with, to have got past your last relationship.

    Although that's fine advice from me, considering how often I mention my ex here. I should really stop doing that from this point onwards.

        I sometimes think getting over a relationship is actually harder than getting over a death, because that person is still out there and it would be still possible to see them and to make the pain go away for a bit.

        It takes everyone a different length of time but I hope, for you, it isn't too much longer because it sounds like you're suffering. I wish there was something more I could say.

        It will be better at some point. I promise you.

    Find a new person to get over the person. Rebound sex too helps

    It didn't sound like you were happy with him and now you're not happy without him?

      I feel as though I should have done more to make it work? Then I think why didn't he get it, or want me back so bad after I even wrote a nice page letter to explain how I just want to make him happy and I feel as thought I am not, bought him a 6 pack and gave him a couple days before I said hi again. Don't know what you have till its gone I guess is how i feel?

        Ah, I see. It seems like you've done all you can and at some point you have to realize that even after all you've done, he's not coming back. It's hard to accept but please move on. There still will be times when you look back but you need to start looking for someone that is happy with you and responds to your nice gestures. Hang in there! =)

    Whoa thats a long story. I'm sorry but I don't really have an answer for you. The best that I've got to tell you is to move on. Things will probably get better. But the reason I wanted to comment is that I think this would someday make a great movie.
