Two years ago I got my heart broken by a guy after a five-year relationship heading toward marriage; he had me move to his hometown only to back down from everything he promised, slowly, painfully, and without explanation. It's been a long road, but I have finally gotten over the whole ordeal and know I am better off for having left all that behind.
I bumped into him for the first time a few weeks ago, and it felt really wonderful to finally let go of the grudge and the anxiety around what it would feel like if that day were to come; however, since then, I've received nonstop communication from him.

I just started dating this amazing guy. Things have been going great, and we seem to have a real connection. He's an editor and got ahold of one of my manuscripts before we started dating.

About a month ago I broke up with a guy I'd been dating for four months. I felt his heart just wasn't in it, and he agreed that he wasn't totally focused on us either.
The other night I was out with a mutual guy friend and my ex decided to join us.

Dear Sugar,
I dated this guy for about six months and we mutually decided to break things off. Before dating, we were amazing friends; we hung out all the time and have always been in the same circle of friends. We agreed to remain good friends after ending it because neither of us wanted to lose the friendship.

I met my first love when I was very young and I thought he was the most beautiful person I'd ever seen. We dated for years — he was my best friend and my lover. Two years ago we had an extremely difficult breakup.

Dear Sugar,
Recently I read the post about telling your ex what he did wrong. My ex and I broke up a year ago. I have dated other people, but I am finding it very difficult to get over this relationship.

My ex and I had dated for almost half a year after breaking up twice before, over a five year period. This time I had left the country for a trip, and within two weeks of being gone he wanted to break up. Within a month he had started dating someone else, whom he's still with.

Dear Sugar,
My boyfriend and I dated for three years, and were fairly serious. We had a future mapped out and were practically planning our engagement. However, during those three years there were some major personality clashes I just couldn't ignore.

Even if ending a relationship is a relief, leaving a person or being left by someone can come with feelings of sadness and longing, which is probably why so many couples hook up after they’ve broken up. But there is a flipside to this: some people aren’t ready to let go of their bad feelings.
A friend of mine, in post-breakup mode, says every day is a battle not to call her ex.
