When you will realize that he/she wasn't the right one. When you will be able to move on and start from the beginning, do not stuck on your exs. They are you past, you have to look for your future and live for the present! You will find a lot of people like your ex! Start meeting new people, make new experiences, do things that you love and things that will make you escape and forgive about your ex. This will help you get over him/her.

May not be today, may not be tomorrow, it is okay to not be over it at first, to delete or save pictures, hide or cuddle presents and feel mad or sad, forcing yourself to be alright instantly is not good for anyone. There will be times you miss him, and its okay that there are, you are not weaker or less, just a human. You shared feeling with someone and now you need to slowly re build the things in your life that used to involve another person. Take it as a chance to change and grow while you rebuild those things you want to make better to youself, things that you think would make you happy. Then one day, you will look at that box of memories, or look at that photo you saved, and realise you have re grown what you felt was missing. Give youself time and surround youself with others to care for eachother

There's not really going to be a time where you'll just wake up one day and say "oh wow i'm over him". It really just takes time! Take this time to evaluate your life, who you are, what you want, what you need, etc.! Give yourself some 'me time'

It's a bit hard. But you have to be up for REALLY get over them; I mean, delete all photos of you two, all conversations, delete them from social networks. Meet new people. Sometimes we think about them because of things only we did together. Do it with other people!

The human mind can get stuck in a thought. Sometimes one can get stuck in a thought for years. The question is not how long will I keep thinking about my ex the real question is why do I keep letting myself think about them? When one is stuck in a thought it can seem inescapable because that memory was pleasant alas to keep thinking about the past is harmful because it prevents oneself from moving on. The best thing one can do if you find yourself stuck in a thought is to break the cycle. Every time that thought comes up pre-plan another thought or activity to take ones mind off the past. For example if you cant forget an ex and they are always on your mind then do 10 push up every time you catch yourself thinking about them. Now every time they pop in your head you will soon forget because your now doing something to distract yourself, and a plus is you will be getting exercise. Also you might start associating that ex with the pain of push up if it happens enough and then there will be a lot less pleasure in those memories further helping you forget them and move on with life.

There is no definitive answer. It will happen, but only when you are ready for it to. It will take time and with time comes happiness. But looking after yourself is imperative. Sleeping well and eating well is a must no matter how hard or how much you don't want to. Then once you are happy in yourself you will get past the hard times.

When you realize that you can't let other people govern whether you are happy or not. Let you and only you make yourself happy.

Only time will tell. Could be weeks, months. Perhaps even years. But you will be over your ex as time progresses.

Break ups are always hard. The most important thing is to drive your thoughts away from your ex and focus on yourself. Patient has to be your friend, time your saviour. You will finally move on when you are aware of your thought and they dont have any connection with your ex. Good luck.

When you start to love yourself more than you think your ex love you. You need to respect yourself, your heart and your feeling.

Well, this might sound too simple - but - "getting over" someone is a process not an event. Some days are harder than others to be "over" the ex. The good news is that you are curious about managing your emotions and are taking a step in a positive direction. Maybe it is a good time to connect with a trained listener.
