Carissach

Seven months really isn't a long time for a first love. I think that you may be feeling like you miss her for a while. BUT, it will lessen over time and you WILL get over her but you probably will always have a special place in your heart for her. Accept that and don't think there is something wrong with feeling like that because there isn't. Try not to compare your new girlfriends to her. Focus on the positive things other girls have to offer. You may find someone you love again soon. Just keep telling yourself that you broke up for a reason and try and accept your new path in life. You never know, maybe sometime down the road when both of you mature and get over things you can be friends again, maybe more. It happens all the time. Don't focus on that though, just move on with your life...you'll be fine!!!

Dear JUJU, I know it hurts bad....what happened with your boyfriend but I'm going to suggest you go get a book called Mars and Venus on a date by Dr. John Gray. It will help you to understand that men are like rubber bands. Many men when they experience a lot of intimacy, need to pull away to experience their autonomy for a while. Trust that he will indeed find his hunger to be with you once again. You said you suffer from depression. Well, the best thing I can say is fake it until you feel it. ACT self-assured, confident and do NOT call him. He will be back...let him long for you and miss you. Men do not want to feel too responsible for being someone's whole "world". So, show him you have a life, and can go on without him even if you don't feel it and......trust me....he'll be back. Give him his space. Support it and have faith! Good luck!!! Oh and GET THE BOOK!
