sometimes you are better off without the person you think you need the most..Start a new chapter..Take him/her out of the picture..you can do it without him/her..It's going to hurt but when you realise the pain is gone you will be in a happier place :)

When you decide to. It's easy to think about your ex if you're still connected with him/her on social networks or in real life. Distance yourself. Also, you can decide to stop thinking about your ex by doing other productive/fun things in your life. Switch your thoughts to something else when you catch yourself thinking about your ex.
If you want to just lessen the pain however, you can think about your ex in a positive light, i.e. what things you liked about him/her, but keep in mind that you did break up for a reason.
Also, I believe that time is still needed in recovering from breakups, but how much time differs from person to person. However, you can make it shorter if you choose to.

When you will find the right thing in your life. Thinking about ex is like being in past world and wasting time and energy. Accepting leads the path way!

Dont try to stop thinking about your ex try to start thinking about them as a part of your past that you have learned from.

If you love them, then I would say never. You never stop thinking about them and that isn't a bad thing. You had something special, embrace it, be thankful and move on, there is a reason they are now your ex.

It depends on how deep your bond is. For me personally, it took 7 years, simply because he meant the world for me. My thoughts on him were about "what if's." But one day, I just accepted that the past can't be repeated, and I realized that either your past will hold you down or you can be grateful that you found a love worth experiencing and move on. Every partner in your life will hold something dear to you, but with every passing person, be aware that they leave a present for you to be one step closer to be the best person you can shape yourself to be. Ex's are lessons. I believe they helped you get one step closer to also find someone else who is more compatible to you.

When you start seeing the benefits of moving on. When you start believing in your capabilities and start hoping and planning for future

Sigh. This is a million dollar question. Look at the origin of the thought, i.e. think of what makes you think of your ex and get over it. Time helps you heal.
Good luck :D

These things takes time and effort. Keeping yourself busy and going forward is a good way to start. Forgive him and let him go.

It all depends. Time heals all wounds but once you have found something to distract yourself, it will become a lot easier. Surround yourself with objects or people that make you feel happy.

You will stop thinking about your ex when you choose to. You control your thoughts and your actions. Moving on can be hard to do, but it can be done.

when you have the new one.
You keep thinking back about your ex, because you are unhappy right now.
So when you find the new one, you will be happy and forget about the old one.

2 years with love. 2 months without. it is just this short. there is no way of expanding on this. if you love someone it hurts. but the feeling of being betrayed is the best way to move on.

It's really hard to say. You might never will at all. You can move on, and have learnt to love yourself better or maybe even be with someone new at some point in the future. But there always will be something that will trigger the memories of an ex. You can, however, try to treat yourself, love yourself more as you go. It might help with the process a little more.

It takes a different amount of time for everyone. Some people have a harder time letting go than others. Just focus on yourself and remind yourself that you're better off without them :)

When you remind yourself the reason for him/her being your EX . If you really want to move on..you need to understand that you have to let go of people and feelings. Forgive and forget.

Depending on the kind of relationship you may never stop thinking about your ex. But felling in love with someone else or a fill filling a dream may help.
