Why can't i move on from my ex?

I was on and off with my bf for about 2 years and I finally broke up cause he cheated on me more than once and I just can't trust him anymore and I know he's not looking for love but lust trying to fill this empty hole by sleeping around I mean maybe he never cared for me and is selfish its been a month since we broke up but we still go to the same uni and in the same faculty and we have a group project together and I will have to meet him at one point I haven't blocked him and we were in touch here and there and I broke contact saying I missed him I know this sounds terrible but like 70% of like me wants him to get better and come back for me and choose me and I know that sounds terrible but I can't get rid of that hope

it took me over a year to stop hoping my cheating ex would magically fix himself and come back for me. running into him at university every week makes it so much harder to let go, especially when you can see him right in front of you. wanting him to change and choose you doesn't make you crazy or terrible, it just means you really cared about the person you thought he was.

Thank you it feels like I'll never get over him 😭 It feels worse when you feel like they are doing well and you're here struggling

break that loop was cutting off all texting between group project meetings and keeping every interaction strictly about school work. every time i texted him that i missed him, it resetting my recovery clock back to day one, so putting up that strict wall was the only way i started getting my sanity back.

are you able to do your group project work online or through group chats so you don't have to sit next to him in person every single time?

As of yet we are managing online but we will have to meet soon maybe by the end of this month. We don't have to meet often so it's all good
