I know right! I don't understand how people can let go of years and years of memories an experiences so easily.

But know that you're not alone, and it's happening to people all over the world, like myself, haha.

So that's why he was able to move on so naturally.
As for myself,  I have no choice but to also forget and move on.

Sorry, I beg to differ on this view. I don't think one's gender has anything to
do with how fast you're able to move on from someone.

Men, women, they are the same. They are both ultimately human.

They both feel pain the same way emotionally.

The only thing that makes a difference in how fast you can move
on is your character. Not your gender.

I don't think we can follow movie and fictional stereotypes in the
real world. If anything, females only have the advantage of having
more things to do when they decide they should move on. (Though,
these lines are slowly blurring now with the emergence of metrosexuality
in men. And trust me, men are lying if they tell you they don't have
anything much to do.)

But that does not make it any less painful.

Just because they had a manicure, got a hair job or facial treatment,
go on a shopping spree etc. doesn't mean they have moved on. It
means that they are deciding to move on. They are in the process
of feeling better.

And that has nothing to do with them being a better species at
moving on faster.

I mean, what better way to get better than to do things that make you
feel happier?

I don't deny that those activities feel rejuvenating. But that doesn't mean
they still feel any less emotional pain.

Lets take a more physical example:

You got shot on your shoulder, it's painful as hell. Then you eat some
cotton candy. The sensation is great in your mouth and it tastes sweet,
but that doesn't make your wound any smaller or any less painful.

If anything, it only served to distract you from your pain.

Moving on is gradual battle against your own feelings. Sometimes
you win. Most of the time you lose. But the moments you win really
makes it all worth the while.

I am the one who asked for break up, at 1st i thought i can make him change.. he promise to find me back and will change his bad habit in 1 year time. so finally i waited for almost 1year.. and what i got is sorry i have a girl friend now. all the promises that he had make all became habuk already. haiz.. how can i get over this.. been thinking of him everyday.. cried everyday..

Broke up recently with my ex of 2 years... We were different religion. Reason for breaking up after 2 years was he said he dont think his family will accept me. I was really close with his family though. So that was not the real reason.
