text: how do i get my mind off of my ex when i see her every day at work? i have worked and lived with my ex for about 9 months. about 2 months ago she broke things off and moved out of our apt, into another apt in the same apt complex.  we ork very closely together and i see her every day. at first there was hope that we would get back together, and i thought that is what i wanted, but after alittle time i realise it is prolly not for the best.  i have read and done everything i can to get over this girl. i go out, pick up new hobbies, meet new girls, hang out with friends, and i have been for the last 2 months.  but no matter what i do at the end of the day i go home to our old apt and think about her, and feel like shit.  i try not to act like it bothers me when i am around her, but every time i see her it eats me up inside. i know in my mind that it wont work becasue we are so different, but in my heart i want nothing more than to be with her again.  i guess i just dont belive that you can just stop loving some one. it does take time to get over someone that you obviously cared about. continue to do what you have been doing. you will start to feel better as the days go by. i wish you the best. p.s. please do not start anymore office romances!
