I know this sounds very elementary, but I need some advice on how to stay away from an unhealthy relationship?

I am 27 and was seeing a 38 yr old for the past 3 years- but as great of a person as he is, i know he is damaging to me in many ways...we broke up last week and its very hard not to contact him, any suggestions?I know this sounds very elementary, but I need some advice on how to stay away from an unhealthy relationship?
avoid him. don't contact him anymore. get yourself busy w/ everything. go out w/ friends or on vacation.I know this sounds very elementary, but I need some advice on how to stay away from an unhealthy relationship?
Remind yourself everyday of what was wrong with the relationship, and the ways that it was damaging to you. I know sometimes it is easy to forget all that was wrong when you are lonely and hurting--but don't let yourself. You need a new focus. Try a new hobby, take a class, do something to meet new people. Maybe reconnect with an old friend. (Preferably female, you don't want to rebound!) Turn to your family, friends and religion for strength. Don't give up, if you persevere you will win!
honey thats a big age differance maybe that was a road block for the both of you, i think you should just remain friends after a cooling period.
Try this bracelet;if it fits you wear it,but if it hurts you throw it away no matter how shiny.

keep yourself busy....join the ymca take a fun class like aerobics even if your not trying to lose weight.


go shopping with friends to a mall or place you've never been..visit your parents...read a book you've always have wanted to read...take up a class at a local college for fun like[webdesign,elementary french,ebay {can you believe thats actually a class} volenteer for a hospital or shelter...the sky is your limit...just remember to have fun,no guy deserves tears even more if he's damaging to you...you are worth much more..have fun! Live a little...turn over a new leaf!

the good thing you accept and relize that the relationship is not worth it and he is damaging you so many ways. just keep your self busy try to go out with friends. Keep your self busy. Meet new people.
