How to stop crying and pining over unrequited love?

Since my ex and I broke up, I can’t seem to love any other guy. I can’t get him out of my head. Every time I have sex with a new guy, the last thing he does makes me want to break off the relationship. Most often or perhaps all the time, they come back begging but I would have already moved on in less than a week and the process continuous as I look for love.

My ex and I broke up about a year ago. The relationship was not balanced, but I still hold him dear to my heart and respect him for the things he taught me and for  his sincerity. I can’t lie I still love him. No matter how much I try, I just can’t come across anyone to love like I loved him.

Stop crying and pining over unrequited love.
You must not waste any more time mooning over someone who does not want to be with you. Please find a professional to talk to about your feelings.
 
Talking about your heartbreak with someone who is trained to listen will perhaps lessen the pain of anxiety. 
 
If that’s not possible, write a letter to your ex telling him how you feel about him and the breakup, but do NOT mail the letter.
  • Then hide the letter. When you’re feeling extremely sad, take out the letter and reread it. Eventually you will stop reading the letter.
 
Time heals most wounds of the heart. Take up Yoga or some such healing as a way of clearing your mind.
