Is it normal to like someone for such a long time?

Okay, so i have been really into this guy for a few years now. We have been off and on for about 2 years total. I thought that i was in love with him. This summer, we decide to come out to everyone that we like each other, and that we are getting ready to date. We have talked and acted like we were dating, because both was to afraid to ask the other, up until about a month ago.
He decides to start a fight with me over nothing. He says that i shouldn't be talking to this other guy even thought me and the other guy werer strictly friends and didnt like each other more than that. During the fight he accused me of liking this other kid, and me not trusting him. He decided that we were just going to stop for a few days and let everything calm down, he felt like he wanted to think.
A few nights later i find out that he has asked another girl out, and they are now dating. She says that she did not know that me and him were on a break but just earlier that week i had talked to her about this guy. He says he know loves her but just a few days before that he said he loved me. It made no sense.
Well it has now been a month since they started dating. I see them together almost everyday. It kills me inside but i dont want to say anything to him about it because he says he loves her now. I can't get him out of my head, I dream about him and dont know if something is wrong with me. Shouldn't i be over him and moved on by now.

    It sounds like you are in middle school or something. Welcome to life. Relationships are NEVER pleasant when they end. Someone always ends up feeling miserable. I've shivered all day after breaking up with a girl I only dated for a few weeks. Breakups are so painful they often mark new chapters in a person's life...so get used to it.

    Don't worry, that's normal. Sometimes it takes a while to get over someone, especially cuz it sounds like you really loved this guy. I mean my last girlfriend cheated on me to and i keep telling myself that i'm over her, but i can't stop thinking and dreaming about her.

    well if he was such a close friend of course it would be hard to move on, but i'm a guy and with guys moving on isnt as hard as you might think. He might still be in love with you and maybe is just doing this to make you jealous hoping you would step in and tell him you love him.
    OR he really is over you and just considers you a friend if even that, an old flame so to speak.

    I moved on after my first love rejected me, as far as physically goes. I got married, had kids, got a job, etc. But I still love him. Every hour of every day I think about him and it's been over a decade. So I think you're normal.
