I'm still in love with my ex

So about two months ago my boyfriend dumped me and I haven't been taking it well at all. As you can see by the title, yes I am still in love with him. The problem is. He ignores me now. Doesn't answer my texts. And he doesn't want me talking to him in real life. It's like he pretends I don't exist. And it hurts. The thing is. I'm close with his sister. So I get her to tell me stuff. And he still has all the stuff I bought/gave him when we were in a relationship. He keeps it in a drawer that he goes in every day. A lot of people say that he's keeping them for memories. But you wouldn't want memories of someone you ignore and don't even look at anymore. I'm confused and honestly don't know what to do anymore. I'm emotionally exhausted and overall just done. I've been crying almost every day for these past two months. And I've legitimately considered depression. I don't know what to do anymore. Please help. :(

I really hope you find a way to move on. There's nothing wrong with still having feelings for people from your past. Accepting them as the past is important. I still love my ex. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Some day, hopefully, we can both find someone we love even more. :)

It hurts a lot, but, for me at least, it did hurt less over time. I had to accept many things about the situation and myself before I could find peace.

I don't know the whole situation, but I hope my little blurb was of some help. If you need to discuss this further, and feel I could be of help, feel free to message me. :)

Either way, be patient with yourself. Love is a powerful emotion, so the lingering effects can feel awful.

It will take time. But everything happens for a reason. I had a girl friend, I loved her more than anything and I was destroyed when she dumped me. I thought I would never recovered but after few moths a beautiful gem came into my life and I love her more than anything. Never lose hope. I'm glad I broke up with her to get my precious one. <3

You'll get through this. Take it one day at a time and try to think about other positive things happening in your life. Try to think about at least one good thing that happens to you everyday, even little things like having a good hair day or hearing a really funny joke. I still get sad thinking about my ex and I still love her. You're not alone and you don't have to get through this by yourself. It'll get better, hang in there.

My ex broke up with me 6 months ago, I can tell you something now that you do feel better in time. You'll probably realise the good and bad of the relationship too, some people just leave sometimes, we don't ever know why but it's not for us to know, we deserve someone who will want us 100% and won't give up (unless your abusive or cheated) your putting this guy on a pedestal he Doesn't belong ion girl. If someone is stupid enough to walk away from you, let them go.

My ex has now had me stay over every night for the past five nights, yet she tells me she still wants the divorce and doesn't know if she wants to be with me.

@Helosther0216

If you are still going through this turmoil, take care not to let this situation turn you into a pathetic, pitiful shell of your self. If you have not acted crazy or messed up big time, it is demeaning to beg a person to love you or deign you to be worthy of his/her love after you have groveled and humiliated yourself numerous times. If you get divorced anyway, you may have a hard time thinking of yourself in a good light. You are a child of God the father who loves you something fierce.

@g34rspr0 don't. Simply don't, it will only hurt her and you I'm sorry to say this believe me I am but don't make the same mistake many of us have made. My best advice is if you love something let it go let it live and be free this is the only way you will ever know if your loved back and it's meant to be I know it's corner and it rhymes and it's hard to do but it's what you need to do

@eskie the honest truth is that she deserves someone better I put her through hell...... I have suffered for years with PTSD and depression, I have been an abuser and even though I'm not that person any more the pain and scars i caused her are deep. It takes a lot to admit things when they are like this but I have come to terms with what I was and what I am now. She is a brave smart strong survivor and she deserves to be loved deeper than the ocean. And I will always love her my love for that woman is deeper than space it's self but I know she can't love me back and I understand why but it doesn't make the pain of losing her any easier. If anything it makes it worse.
