How long does it take to move on after break up?

[ChrisMaster69]

It varies, depending on the relationship, how deep it was.

you can be dating and deeply I love one day, break up the next and a week later meet someone thst just clicks with you for some unknown reason.

it maybe you go through a long break up but it’s mutual and you drift apart,

you can go through one that strips your soul from you and you find it hard to get close to someone again.

you can break up and lose confidence in your self snd find it hard to meet someone, get back in to dating.

You could lose a loved one to premature death and have to face the future.

the human being and mind have the ability to handle huge distress and pain but also huge amounts of love with more than one person.

it does not mean you forget them, you may even love them in a different manner, but life is there for living and not sitting their alone and depressed, that is the hardest bit to get over.

been through some of the above and still in contact with most, possibly meet someone again and love them as deeply.

when people have pets, they grow, they die, they get a new pet to fill that devoid, do they not love each one as deep.

That's all up to you. For me, some relationships I don't know if I will ever be totally "over it", but I can certainly go on about life. Example, I dated a girl about 10 years ago. Since then I met another woman, got married and divorced (6 year relationship). I'm still sad about the divorce, and I had a dream about the girl from 10 years ago just last week. People stay with you, love stays with you. It's not a bad thing, or at least it doesn't have to be. Take the good memories, along with the lessons learned, and let them help you have a good life in the present.
Best of luck to you.

I don't think there's a set amount if time. It depends on a lot of factors, but for me, the biggest factor is how long the breakup had been coming. I was with my ex for 5.5 years, lived together, owned a business together, knew each other's families, etc. However, the relationship had been rocky for a really long time and I couldn't even remember the last time I had been happy. When the breakup finally happened, I just felt free.

On the flip side, when the breakup is completely blindsiding or when there's no proper closure, I think it's a lot harder to move on.

It can take a while. Depends on the relationship I’ve moved on in 2 months but I’m currently stuck for 4 months and I still think about him every day even though we don’t talk anymore and haven’t seen each other in a long time. I know I’ll eventually be fine in the future.

It took me three years to get over my ex. I only moved on after I saw he was happy with someone else. It broke my heart to know he loved another woman, but it allowed me to finally let go. For three years I held onto false hope. Hoping he missed me too and we'd someday get back together.

It might take few to many years for a proper move on..
Overall
Depends upon individual

[dudeinohio]

There is no set in stone time period. I've been over breakups in minutes, and also taken years to be over one. It all just depends on each situation

[Waldoe]

it takes as long as it takes... you can shorten the time by staying busy, go out, don't stay home and sulk...

Depends on you. If you are holding on to the past then you'll never get over it. Move on and it'll not take much time.

[Shihab-91]

Depends how much you love them , reason why you break up, and if you are doing the right things to move on

[Nawawee]

Look every person deals with these type of things differently but it all depends on the person and time will tell

[Dazed0N0Confused]

For every year you are with someone it takes roughly 2 months to get over them. But everyone is different

Feel I moved on pretty quickly because I haven't dated that much in my life or just only had a short-term relationship

[bclbn77006]

if you really love someone then you can never move on to new relationship.

[C3397]

It took about a year for me

[Furuok]
