How do I get over the guilt and nostalgia of ex boyfriend?

Question

I'm 16. I broke up with my boyfriend of 2 months because he was being a jerk to me when he was with his friends. I feel guilty, because I feel like I wasn't that great to be around, because sometimes I got mad at little things...and I think that's what provoked him to act like that. I always think of only the good times in the relationship, then I feel nostalgic. I see couples holding hands and I get a knot in my stomach because we did things like that. Even going to the drug store makes me feel that way, because we got ice cream there. Also, I think of the future, like dances and stuff, and I can't imagine not going with him, or the thought of him with another girl. How do I get over HIM, feeling guilty, and being nostalgic of our past?

Answer 1

you are 16 years old...

this must be your first "real" boyfriend

you will learn to get over this feeling

and when you do...you will wonder why you ever felt the way you did

i am proud of you for standing up for yourself

Answer 2

You're 16 and you were only together 2 months... Get over it!

Answer 3

When I was feeling sad over a breakup, I met a woman who was in my photography class.   We did some photography together.  Made everything easier.    

Find a male friend (just friends) that you can do an activity with.  Also think about getting closure with your former boyfriend.  Would calling him up and explaining things help?  Would it help you?  Good luck.    

Answer 4

I m not too good with answering this stuff because I don’t know what to say a lot of the time. If he was being a jerk then why do you feel guilty? If you feel that you were being a jerk to him then isn’t it best that the both of you move on? Find someone else that you are more compatible with; sometimes certain relationships don’t work out for the best.

Both of you sound better off looking for someone more ideally suited to your own personal needs.

Told you I was c**p at answering this stuff, sorry.

Answer 5

"Nostalgia"??  You were only together 2 months!

This is only one installment in an entire series.  Relax.

Distract yourself by keeping your mind busy.  Get back to your hobbies, learn new ones, read books, do volunteer work... whatever floats your boat.  Make yourself useful.  If you leave your brain in "idle" - that's exactly what it will do.
