"Do you think it was true love if you can't forget someone after 9 years? I've read dozens of blogs on the internet that say "You'll forget your ex after however many months". Some say a month, two months, a year, 3 years, whatever. But I think about my ex everyday and it's been more than 9 years now. Why can't I get this guy out of my head? I've tried everything, to getting rid of all of his things, to having a little "ceremony" where I told him goodbye (I also read this on the internet that it helps. I've dated other men, but have never been able to find true happiness since I was with "the one".
I have just found out through a mutual friend that he has just moved back close to my town, but he has a girlfriend. My first instinct is try to go see him, but I really don't want to do anything to upset his life. Why can't I just forget and move on? I want so badly just to forget him - remove him from my heart and memory. What is wrong with me?"
