A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"
Bowls can wait !
My opinion is that the best way to get over someone is to have nothing to do with them. Don't see them or talk to them and get rid of anything that might remind you of them. Maybe harsh but it's straight up the most effective way to get over someone, at least in my experience. If you can bring yourself to want to do that. Sometimes just being 'friends' with them afterwards can do more damage than good, especially if you're hoping for things to start up again or still have attachment.
You will get over it. I was so in your shoes 15 years ago. Now I look back and wonder - why the hell was I so stressed about it. Don't waste your life - enjoy every moment of it.
"People are stupid ... almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People's heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true ... they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so all are easier to fool." -- Wizard's First Rule
Yea, at the end of the day, there will always be another girl. Even though you can't really think about that or it doesn't seem that way in the present state.
Do you have friends and family around who can support you? If so, use that support.
First, look at the bright side. You had 10 good years. It's over now and it hurts, but it could have been so much worse. Some people look all their lives for that good relationship and never really find it. I didn't really find a good relationship till I was in my thirties. You are only 28 and you have had 10 years of it.
There is a big bright world out their full of opportunities and pleasures. Being in a relationship is great, but it severely limits your freedom. You are now free to travel where you want, engage in whatever hobby you like, buy what you want without asking permission, see who you feel like....
ENJOY being single. Allot time to work and play. Time is precious, you only live once so use it wisely. If you are a healthy young person you have so much to be grateful for.
You have been in this relationship pretty much your entire adult life so it must be a severe jolt to have it end now. Give it time. The pain will go away. Once it does your life will be different and better in many ways.

Ride fast or be last.
Get a Playstation or an Xbox. Many many men with game consoles and a wife will tell you that NOTHING helps them forget about her like a good game session. If it can help them forget about her when she's sitting right next to them itching for attention, imagine how well it could work for you when she's not even there.

I feel for you mate...I really do.
Mine was 25 years married and its over just like that, it hurts.........Bad.
And just tonight she said she wants me back for sex ONLY WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
What else could I say but "YES OK" (NO was not an option)
This is a long story made short.
Hey details if required.
Nuts
Harder, Faster, Stronger, Smarter.................
All the thing's I'm striving for
Take a nice long ride....
about 1-3 months should do it. (only 1/2 joking)
Seriously, go do things that you have felt like you couldn't do together, (safely)
then go do stuff you have always wanted to do but put off for some reason.
Then when you have done some stuff, had a few drinks, maybe a couple of girls if you feel like it. Then think about what you really want to do with your life, then get on with it.

Write some letters, write some lists. Get it all out. Do your grieving properly or it will only come back and bite you on the arse. Don't jump into another relationship too quickly (but go and have some safe casual sex if that tickles your fancy, just don't be a dickhead and hook up with some solo mother and move in with her...), take some time out by yourself to get to know yourself as a single person.
There are bad days ahead. It's OK to be sad. It's OK to be angry. Let yourself feel those emotions, but don't allow yourself to wallow for too long in them. Hit things, break things....(I did)...but don't do anything tooooo crazy. Spend time with friends who will be gentle with you, and be gentle with yourself. The bad days will come less often and you'll start to enjoy life again and begin to see what life has to offer you.
Take care.[/QUOTE]
Couldnt agree more with this, many emotions, good & bad days only try & stay away from the booze, not a good combination as i found out & took a while to click.
The pain doesnt go away but does get easier to live with, what i found anyway.
Good luck mate
Get laid, have fun, enjoy life. She'll be expecting you to be all boo-hoo my princess is gone I'm so sad, so this approach is good revenge as well as good for ya!
There is no rule book to life.
Everyone goes through it at some stage (most on here have).
I'm friends with my ex husband - can't see anything wrong with that. If you can remain on good terms, all the better. I don't know why they all say run and stay away from her. You've had 10 good years (well, maybe 8), so its made you who you are. Remain friends, its the best option. Being bitter and twisted solves nothing and ruins memories.
Hurt.... hell yes, and so will the next time. Life is set to test us.
Each of us had to put chin up and deal with it the best way we all can. You will feel alone and angry at times. But remember, that is what friends and family are for. Counscellors are not for everybody.
But I would suggest, if money allowed, to do something you have always wanted to do - it will help you refocus.
All the best and I feel for ya.
