8 months later - still struggling

I broke up with my ex nearly 8 months ago because after a 3 year relationship, and me moving states basically for him, he told me that he didn't know if he was the type of person that could ever get married, but it wasn't anytime in the near future. He wouldn't even make a commitment to living with me. This is after he made me believe that he was ready for marriage and would be proposing soon. I couldn't take it, because I loved him, and I wanted to be his wife more than anything and have a family with him, and it was obvious that he didn't want that. I didn't want to waste another 3 years of my life waiting around just to hear that again from him. I started dating another man, and it took my mind off of my ex for awhile, but here I am today still thinking about and crying over my ex. I talked to him on myspace the other day, and seeing his pictures was so overwhelming. And when I say cried, i don't mean a single tear fell from my eye, but I screamed and cried so hard I thought I was going to hyperventilate. What is wrong with me? It has been almost a year, and I still get this upset at looking at a picture of him? Am I crazy? Am I ever going to get over this man and truly move on with my life?

Try 4 years late. I'm still struggling even though I dumped him and asked him not to contact me anymore.
