I had a rebound and it sucked, I long lingered on thoughts of my ex, but it all amounted to nothing because I knew would never dare to have such a sick relationship again. I didn't call him or stalk him, and I made conscious arguments of why he isn't good for me. I know even though we don't speak to each other, I'll always be grateful to him for all the good things he did, and I won't insult him or talk dirt about him. He was a part of my life and now that part is gone, simple as that.

I think time is the only real help, but you also have to willingly let go and shift your focus. Everyone wants to have someone, but it's not necessary in order to have a fun, meaningful life. Live for yourself :)
