I first seek a reason why there was a relationship to begin with. What was God trying to teach me through the experience? How did the relationship and subsequent failure effect my life?

Only when these questions are answered and integrated in the greater context of life will I able to be truly over someone.

When you're living your life for God and you, when your focus is finally off them and what they're doing, and it's no longer about "getting them back".

I did something yesterday that was long overdue. I went through my email account and deleted all of the emails to/from a guy, along with his pics, etc. I also purged all of his texts and stuff from my phone. It was a good thing.

Green inspired me with his question threads, so the question of this thread is, "How do you know when you are totally over someone?"
One way you can know is when they are laying flat out on the ground and you are standing over them with your right foot on their head and your fists pumping in the air. Other than that, I have no answer for you.

Something happened this morning that made me think of this thread. I was trying to think of the name of a guy who made me cry for two solid weeks...and I couldn't even remember his name! I think that's a very good sign. :)

I have dated others since her. I am at peace with her not being my wife. I am not at peace with the life she is living. I know that she could be doing great things. The reason I doubt that I am completely over her is more because to this day I would do just about anything in my power to protect her. It is certainly a higher degree of love than I can claim for many others, even my close friends. As for what everyone else is claiming about how they knew they are totally over someone, well I've gone through many of those things already, so maybe I am completely over her.
I have felt this as well, sort of. I have thought of my previous 2 relationships esp the more recent one, usually thinking and hoping that because of the time we spent in relationship together, I hope that my influence did them some good or that they learnt something God given from knowing me (and vice versa of course).
