You may never get Completely over him, Beckz0811. This is a guy who you have been with for a good part of your life and ven if you would get together with someone tomorrow, he may end up to be a Rebound Robert because you are not ready nor raring to be in a Real Relationship right now.
Move on slowly and focus on you. Time does heal all wounds, believe me, I know. It took me 7 years to get over a First Love and it finally came one night, when God gave me that closure I so desperately needed, and realized, when we had this one more chance for romance... It wasn't the same anymore... I was finally free.
It could happen to you that you might also get some test of time. However, I always say it's in God's hands for whatever happens in our life. With you, He gave you a beautiful experience with someone whom you fell in love with and are able to tell everyone you were fortunate enough to have... Fallen in love in this lifetime.
Good luck. xx

There's no specific time frame. However not practicing good post-breakup etiquette will likely set you back and make it harder and even impossible. So essentially you want to cut off all contact, delete all pictures, delete him from social media and you are going to want to delete his number as well. Any reminders of him need to be put away. These are simple things but needed in order to give your mind time to heal. Removing the person from your life is like putting a band aid on a wound (in this case your broken heart) and every single time you go back into contact or do something to bring back a memory of him you are ripping off the band aid without it having had time to properly heal. So you need to take care of yourself. For the next few months you and your needs will come first.
I hope this helps xx
There really isn't a time frame for grieving over a relationship. It depends on how it ended, how long the relationship lasted, if the break up was mutual. I would try spending time with family and friends. Make plans to do things. Therapy is a good idea too, just talking to someone who is an outsider but can give you advice and give you a new perspective.
It really depends on the people and the relationship.
Some people might not ever fully get over it, while others detach themselves and pretend to get over things incredibly quickly.
The longest it took me to fully get over one was about a year. It was good for me, though; I am ready for the right one now.
As much time as it takes to watch an entire netflix season of your Favorite show and eat 45 Metric ton's of your Favorite ice cream? xD

It really depends on how it ended, why it ended and how much you invested into the relationship. Were you married? Kids? I got out of an almost 11 year marriage last year and while I was the one to end it and I am much happier now, it's still tough at times. We have children together so we will always be a part of each other's lives. Everyone deals with breakups differently and if you take a awhile then that's ok.
I agree with @zombibabe. 10 years is very long. 10 years of intimacy and it is suddenly gone. Therapist would not hurt.
You just need time. Really. Time is such a healer.
Concentrate on your work. Do sth you have wanted to do but you did not have time. A new hobby for example.
Meet people. Your friends. Go out more.
Start to exercise ; work out. That really helps. At the end you will suddenly see , it is gone. :)woah! 10 years? that's a a hard one... a therapist might help you get over it
It all depends on the person, someone people can move on in little time
