I think the fastest way to move on from a relationship is to put yourself first. Another thing that helped me was watching movie explanations instead of only watching the movies.
For example, I used to cry every time I watched La La Land or 500 Days of Summer. But after watching explanations, I saw them as life lessons. La La Land shows that both characters followed their dreams, even if they didn't stay together. 500 Days of Summer shows that Tom needed to change his life and follow his real dream of becoming an architect.
Movies are made to make us feel emotions, but understanding the director's message can help us become emotionally stronger. I don't think we should only fall in love with the characters. We should also learn from their stories.
Recently I watched Original Sin, and for the first time I didn't get emotionally attached to the characters. I spent almost a year crying over my breakup, but now I'm learning to understand people instead of only loving them. I think that's a big step forward.

this is actually a really big change. i’m curious, what was the moment where you felt you were finally watching stories differently instead of seeing your breakup in them?
