  • What does "get over" mean though? I think if a really great relationship ends, it will take at least a few months to start 'moving on'. BUT 'getting over' someone is another story. Sometimes we move on with someone new, who can be great, but all of a sudden a song comes on the radio, or you find an old t-shirt, and ALL the old feelings for the ex come back, and we miss them.
    That's life though. You don't forget or 'get over' someone important, you just move on. And you'll miss them a lot at the start, but those pangs lessen in frequency over time.

    In my experience, you don't get over a deep special relationship ever, I can't imagine ever not caring what happens to my ex (but we've decided to stay friends too). A relationship that ended because it just wasn't a good one, maybe 2 months til they're out of my system.

  • Took years to get over my high school girlfriend. Slightly less time to get over the next girl. And 6 months to get over my college girlfriend.

Do you think that when a girl breaks up with a guy its always a loss of attraction? For the Dumpers? How long after your relationship were you sleeping with someone new? Should I wish my ex merry Christmas? Why is it okay for a guy to dump a girl because she turned fat and ugly, but not for a woman to dump a guy because he became broke? Do you think the saying once cheater always a cheater is true?

  • Depends on which ex we're talking about here.
    It took me a little over a year to get over the he very first guy (who was also my first love). The subsequent ones just took about a couple months or weeks to just get over them.

  • The 1st guy I dated briefly, it took me a long while to get over him (almost 1/2 a year) because I was going through some very hard times w/my self esteem. I never loved the guy and now I laugh at myself when I think of him. My recent ex is completely different and I know that will be a very hard one to let go. He was my 1st true love (at least I loved him) and he broke my heart. Its been a couple months and my heart aches thinking about him, w/the other ex I just missed him, I don't remember having such heartache for him. There is no formula, but if you loved a person and they hurt you , it will take awhile.

  • Probably never. We have a daughter together and I do still love him even after 4 years. I guess having our daughter gives me that bond with him
