I understand how hard it is. It took me about 1.5 years not to miss him soooo much. We did not really end on bad terms - but he wanted to date others. I did not get the chance to resent him over the years and he was a great friend so getting over him was really hard. I tried to hold onto the friendship....too hard. After almost 2 years....I am able to talk with him and I do not view him in the same way. I romantic thoughts stopped coming a while back...plus I do not see that "man" I fell for anymore..he changed and I am sure I did to. But I can say...to date... I loved him like no other.

Hang in there. It is like a death. I'm sure you are handling this in a "normal" way...and if not...who cares what anyone else thinks (unless you want to hurt yourself or if you hang in depression too long - you can reach out for help)...it's your life...it's your heart.
