There's a little psychological trick which I've succesfully used in the past to kill off inappropriate/ill advises infatuations. Maybe it will help you with the remaining feelings for this guy. Be advised however it may fuck up any and all positive memory's if applied vigorously. Perhaps you're familair with aversion therapy? Snapping an elastic band on your wrist when you feel the need to smoke for example? This strategy is quite similar. Pick the biggest negative thing about him, cheating, dumping you, leaving the toilet seat up ;) Now, everytime you think of him focus on that. You can even exaggerate it a bit. When done consistently this tends to work quite well. While with my fiancée we had a mutual friend whom I met before I met my girl. I really liked her, but she was in a relationship with my best friend at the time (who treated her like shit). My personal principles forbid me from breaking up relationships for my gain so I never acted. A few years later this girl took me to a concert [HIM] for my bithday, at the other side of the country. My fiancée didn't like the band and stayed home. She even suggested me and the other girl spending the night in a hotel room if the concert ended late! Anyhow, at the concert she kept being jostled by assholes (she's about 90 lbs). So I did the same I did for my girl, bear hug her from behind to keep her safe. This embrace, her hands on mine and the smell of her hair brought back the feelings from years before. I will NOT cheat on anyone so I immediately started applying this method... with succes :) Only downside is, everytime I see her now the fault I focussed on is the first thing that pops into my head. ymmv though.
