how do you just convince yourself to not love someone after 5 years?
For that you need to focus on the fact that the person you love no longer exists. At some point or over time he vanished into thin air and was replaced by the person he is now. We don't love bodies we love personalities. Things that people do. That's gone now according to what you say (and the fact that you're not together).

I have problems with constantly developing crushes on people that I shouldn't such as married women or people who I know things wouldn't work between us. What works best for me to get ahold of that crush and stomp it into the ground is to focus on our incompatabilities. Belive it or not it's actually pretty easy. Few people are ever perfect for eachother. There's always more incompatabilities than compatabilities. Everyone has problems that annoy someone else. If you can't see them now you'll see them eventually.
I bet if you start focusing on someone else you won't even care about him any more. Of course you'll never forget him, but with enough focus onto someone or something else you will move on.
