Will I ever get over him for good? I go along in life, content, somewhat happy, then bang, I run into him somewhere in this small damn town. I have to make some snide comment like "Boy your grouchy today! He says, "Im always grouchy you know that" And I come back with "Must be the company your keeping, you were not grouchy at all the year we were together". He looks at me and laughs and grabs my shoulder with a slight squeeze. I then turn and walk away without saying another word. The rest of the day goes like crap for me and I stew all day over other things I should have said, or maybe I should have stood and talked instead of walking away. Then all the emotions start flowing again and I just want to sit and cry. Its been 2 months. Am I always going to feel like this when I run into him? Do I need to move away from here so there is no chance in ever running into him again? I dont know!!!!! Any advice??

Yes, you will get over him eventually. But no disillusions: it's going to take time. Accepting that it's over is a big step, but it does not mean that you automatically feel better.

 

Live your life - and live it well. Do not allow your grief to force you to move away. That kind of decision cannot be left to break-up angst and, frankly, he doesn't deserve that kind of power.

 

Whether you run into him or not, you're going to ride the rollercoaster of emotion for awhile. As another very wise member here said recently - "hang on and ride the rails".

I assure you, eventually the ride will come to a full and complete stop. For me too.
