Cannot move on from a breakup
It's been 3.5 months since my partner of 5 long years and me split ways, it was mutually decided, because of no future together.
I recently met him due to relocation of our jobs and I realised I cannot move on from him.
I keep waiting for us to re-connect and it's taking a toll on my daily life.
I tried really hard to get him back but he's bound by society, sometimes I think I'm acting crazy and on other days, I try to justify it out.
But there are days where i miss him so much, I'd give up anything to talk to me.
It's a loop now and I can't find myself out of it.

"Hey! Thank you for sharing this with me. I cannot imagine what you might be going through. 5 years is a long time, and it is not easy to forget and move on from such a bond.
Break ups are hard and it might seem impossible to move on, but you've to allow yourself to grow out of it to feel less hurt.
Here are some ways to start the healing:
1. Don't interact
Yes, you ran into him due to relocation of jobs, but keep it tell hello and how are you. You don't need to stay in touch or talk further. Try to be as away from his life as possible
2. Focus inwards
Try to focus on yourself. Your goals, your achievements and your growth
3. Seek therapy
Break ups can be really hard to deal with and can often cause depression. Reach out to a professional for help.
Next Steps
Reflect on your thoughts

Hi... Please elaborate more on the term 'bound by society'.
What do mean, he is off limits (caste/family/religion/race) due to societal constraints?
Or he says that he is unable to pursue it further because of societal constraints?
Both the scenarios may have completely different reasons. Sometimes there are actual constraints that may have a grave consequence. But sometimes people use is it as an excuse for their lack of clarity/commitment.
Any way you are getting desperate about this relationship because you are used to it. 5 years is a long time and it is hard to let go such relationships. But you need to figure out what this relationship may turn up into 5-10 years down the line.
Choosing in or choosing out, both is right. But it has to be your own honest decision and not a consequence of any emotional need or desperation.
Next Steps
Seek professional help.
