Your prayers weren't unanswered...you just didn't get the answer you wanted

Exactly! I hope you find peace and move on.

It is not difficult for some people to move on. but not for everyone.
Sometimes couldn't help thinking how happy the moment was in the past, but it was over, especially when the other one has gone far and no posibility to get back.
Sometimes we are not ready or we don't know how to move on.
I think that keeping a small space for someone on mind doesn't mean you couldn't have new life. Everybody has past. That's just the reason that you know how it is important to cherish the right one who is around you now.
People always miss what they missed.
Then we wouldn't do the same thing as before that make us lose someone again in our new life.

We broke up and shortly after I met someone and she met the love of her life, they got married and have 3 children.

I could never stop thinking about her even when I was dating other women. Five years have past now and I am finding it difficult to not think about her and move on.

I have kept myself busy with a host of things but I need to not think about her. I didn't have trouble getting over many other ex's but why cant I get over this one?

I need your help with any suggestions you may have.

maybe because you know you let a good thing go? Im just saying??

I guess she's particularily hard to get over because you were so strongly attracted to her......but you are wasting time and brain power dwelling on what coulda/shoulda/woulda happened if she was still with you. You understand that by dwelling on the past you are denying your right to a full life in the future.....every time you start thinking of her..make a concious effort to substitute someones picture in your mind instead, and think of them.....good luck.

I think that is general idea. I have regrets, but when I was with her, I knew it wouldn't work, but now I am thinking perhaps I was nit-picky.
