How much time does it take for you to totally move on from your ex?

Question

Answer 1

Xper 5

Depending on the intensity of the relationship or the significants you may reflect on it for the rest of your life. But I think to fully and properly be over a relationship and to move on in a healthy way... its roughly 1/3 of the time in the serious relationship if your the one being broken up with. So if it is 3 years. It will take a year to stop having issues. If it takes longer than you have other issues. If it takes less I would assume the relationship was clearly failing and you already started the detachment needed. Roughly. There are plenty of other factors that would change that. But in general while being self aware and healthy its a solid formula

It depends on how well you bonded and how it affects you outside of what the relationship was (other bonds and responsibilities). From the stuff I've read on studies women move on a lot faster then men in general.

There is no set time. But it mostly depends on how long you were together and the nature of your relationship. The longer you were together the longer it may take to move on. If you hated each other I would say you move on pretty fast.

My childhood crush was the only guy i never really got over and still have little hope for. Everyone else im over in like a week or less, no matter how much i liked/loved em. When we’re done, we’re done

And the hardest to get over. I legit always felt the mutual vibe but it got ruined over “word of mouth” and people telling him extreme things when it was not to that level yet

Wish you luck to get that lucky person (if u still hope to). I don't think people will be there to ruin it this time, plus a grown ass man wouldn't care what people say XD.

I think he's changed. He prob isn't the same guy i fell for age 6-12 lol. We ran into eachother at age 17 and it was an awkward encounter where our fams got involved once again and tried to force us to hug. They ruin everything 😡

No they ruined it like they did the first time around. He hate when people make a scene. It pushes him away instead of bringing him closer. But i knew him since i was in 1st grade and he was in 2nd grade. So 2001

They say for every year it takes about 2months to move on, but everyone is different. My one ex took about 2 months (9month relationship), the other took 2years (7year relationship but I was still trying to save my marriage then)
