@Big Blue – I feel that I have spiraled through the stages of grief except for acceptance. I think I was in denial when I used to tell people, and myself, that I don’t want her back. I think there was always a part of me that wanted us to get back together and now it’s really official that I most likely will never see or hear from her again.

@Jason – Thank you so much for your post. I’m sorry that you’re going through a similar situation. And your post definitely did not come across in any negative way. It does help to read your words and suggestions.

I felt like I was getting better but now that I know my ex is in a relationship, I feel like I’ve taken a major setback.

My main problem now every time I close my eyes, I picture them together, having sex, or just being happy together. How can I stop those thoughts? I really just want to stop thinking about her. For crying out loud, it’s been almost a year.
