How do I get over my ex?

We were together for a little over a year and were very much in love. We talking about moving in together. Then one night after getting into a fight, I slapped him. He, as revenge, spread rumors and told very personal stuff about me to our friends. We forgave each other and he said he needed space and he would call me in a week to let me know what was going on. He decided that during this week of space we should be broken up. It has been over a week and I never heard from him and he won't answer my calls. I found out from a friend we work with that he is telling everyone we broke up. How do I move on and act around him at work? Will we ever speak to one another again?

    No matter how bad the fight was he had no right to talk about personal things that only he knew and that should open up your eyes to the person he really was. Youre probably better off without him....it hurts and youll get over it...ignore him at work and show him that youre moving on and that you are better wo him

    Try distracting yourself from thinking about him by doing the things you love... tv, music, and hobbies you have :) start up a new hobby :D

    Go out with friends more, get them to distract you :)

    Another good way of moving on is finding someone else... but i dont know if that idea would appeal to you... at the very least, harmlessly flirting with someone usually helps just a little :)

    As for the workplace... act laid back and polite around him, but if he doesnt bother returning the manners then ignore him; hes very simply not worth your time if hes going to be immature about talking to you.

    I hope things work out for you :) all the best :)

    You need at least 6 months of no contact. That means no phone calls, no texts, no facebooking. After six months has passed, re-evaluate the situation and see where things go from there.

    But if you keep in contact... even rare contact... you won't allow yourself to detach emotionally.

    You can't automatically move on straight away; it will take him to get things 'normal' around him. You two may not speak for a while but eventually will and move on.

    The best way to get over someone is to start dating someone else.
