they have slightly different tones to them. it's a little rude to ask people "can we just get over it?" it implies that people are needlessly overreacting to something and you're being a bit dismissive of their response ("get over it!" is generally considered a bit of a rude phrase). usually people use the term to talk about themselves "i'm getting over it/i'll get over it/i got over it/i'm over it" or to talk about someone else who's either close to you, or not in your presence, or when talking about a benign situation ("jesse loves that movie. it took him a while to get over keanu reeves' awful attempt at an english accent, though.")... but you can use it to talk about past relationships pretty easily if you want to be a bit harsh (e.g.: "yeah, megan used to pretty reluctant about leaving tony, but then she left him a year ago, and now she's completely over him.") a safer bet is to say "can we move on now?" or "can we put this behind us?" they're must less tricky to use and unless someone's talking about being a victim of domestic violence or something, you're not gonna be rude.
