Is it normal that i can't forget my ex-boyfriend?

Last summer I visited a friend of mine in a city a few hours away from where I live. At the start of the vacation me and my boyfriend had a talk about how we both wanted to do our own thing in the free time that we had. I wanted to visit my friends and he wanted to go out, so we came to the conclusion we'd both go our own ways and have fun. Sounded great to me and I had a good time with my friend till the moment when I crawled behind her father's laptop.
I logged in to MSN and asked my boyfriend when I'd be seeing him again, that's when he told me he never wanted to meet up with me again. I asked him why and he simply told me that he didn't love me anymore and he wanted to end it. Naturally I cried and shut off the laptop to think it all over.
I sent him a text message a day later to ask him about it and he told me he liked someone else and I should leave him alone.
We dated for four years before this happened and all that time I've loved him more than anything. We've discussed marriage, having children and living together - I was really, honestly, deeply in love with him.
I can't seem to forget about him even now; he pops up into my mind every bloody night and it drives me insane. I feel like I can't go on with things like this... I don't have my closure.

    Aww that is mean, honey, y deserve so much better and the reason why you are constantly thinking about him is because you are alone. When you don't have someone else in your life it's natural to dwell and look back on the past for closure, but once you meet a guy who will love you as much as you love him than you will be happy again.

    I'm sorry to say but it's a good thing this happened now, what if this had happened when you two had children? And honestly, if you do get back with him, what makes you think he won't do this again? After 4 years of being together he could have had the desency to at least respect you and talked to you and would have ended it like a man and not a 16 year old teenager through MSN.

    Go out with your friends, get yourself a make over, do your hair, change ur clothes, get yoiur self esteem back and go out to the world and meet someone who will love and respect you.

    Good luck xx

    If he left you forget about him he will miss you yes but don't take him back because if you are not his first choice why should he be yours?
