Love is Just the Instinct of Sex - Schopenhauer
Ever been cheated on? Did your partner walk out on you with no explanation? Was there no mojo in your relationship so you opted to leave, but realized way too late that it was your own damn fault? I’d like to say a broken heart feels like the end of the world, but it really isn’t after you have a couple of them. I don’t care if she pooped gold, or the way he smiled sent those butterflies on a shooting spree in your stomach. I don’t even care if they found their identity in middle school, and transformed into a new bionic AI gender by thirty, leading a cutting edge global company that specializes in environmental activism, and combating the military industrial complex. Just tell me, what is YOUR best way to get over someone, and move on with your life. Cheers!

Get Comfortable With Being Uncomfortable
Some things just take time. There's no timeline on when you're truly "over it" and getting "over it" can come in stages. Sometimes you get over the missed affection, but it's replaced with bitterness and confusion.
The biggest key I would say is to dive into the discomfort. Think about them, about why it ended. Aggressively picture your life without them. And admit that you suck, they suck and what your boundaries for the future should look like. The more you avoid it, the more it lingers. Listen to the sad songs. Watch the sad movies. Be wary of the "get over, get under" adage as that can open old wounds that likely contributed to the messiness of the relationship to begin with.
