last time i checked i wasn't a man BUT.....i think the answer is open and honest communication.
to let go of anything you have to drag it from inside you and put it out there. it's a process that can take time but often, if it's a love situation where that love is deep that time can help you remember where that love came from

you mean to heal from the feelings associated with the memories? they're not illusions, they're very real. it's like when you catch a smell from something or have a deja-vu experience and it takes you back to a specific memory and you find yourself feeling the way you felt then.
it fades with time. no-one can ever say how long. it depends on the nature of whatever it was that caused the pain.
i think when it's someone close you has unintentionally hurt, the fact that you 'didn't mean it' is neither here nor there. in some respects it's worse that you did it unintentionally cos it means you failed to understand him well enough to KNOW if it was gonna hurt him.
it's a toughie but i don't know what happened...i'm only basing what i say on what you tell us.
