How long Did it Take You to Move on From a Break-UP?

[Paris13]

Not Long, Paris!

A Long Time, Paris!

It Depends, Paris!

Look down Here, Paris!

[belle_kai]

I hope you're ok? It depends on the length of relationship but they do say half the length of time of the relationship and that's how long to get over it. Also depends on travelling, spiritual growth, spending time with family and friends. X

[Paris13]

@belle_kai I was in a LDR But wanted More from My Life. Thank you so Much, Very Happpy now. xx

[Paris13]

Oh, Do You Know ALI in the Carnforth UK? lol!!! xxoo

[belle_kai]

I live in London unfortunately not familiar with that town

[Pinay_ako]

Depends on how intense the relationship and feelings were… I can move on overnight. It surprised me how fast I moved on. Maybe I got numb from all the pain, I had to cut him out of my life immediately.

[Paris13]

Loving this One, hun. xxoo

[Pinay_ako]

I can move forward fairly soon, but there are sometimes little bits and pieces of the old relationship that I confront much later. . . but not so much that I am emotionally unavailable to a new partner. With a new partner, I don't try to rush into a sexual relationship so the initial stages of dating are fairly low key anyway.

The very first time that I had heartbreak it tore me up I couldn't eat I couldn't sleep and now I know all the reasons why and I also know that would never happen to me again nowadays it's done it's over I might think about it for a couple days but I move on quickly just because that's who I am that's how I have to be because I learned my lesson when my very first heartbreak happened and I will never ever go through that again and if somebody's going to that just get a hold of me I will tell you how to get out of it quickly

It didn't take me long to physically move on, since I had another "girlfriend" within a week or two- in fact I started seeing a new girl when I was still living with my ex girlfriend. I was using it more as a way to get her to want me back, but it of course didn't work.

Ironically, I did drop the rebound girl, and got another one exactly one week after my ex and I cut contact. I also had sex with probably a half dozen other girls since we officially broke up, which isn't to say that I EMOTIONALLY moved on.

Right now, I've largely put away the idea that she'll come back, and I've started to plan out my own path without her, as well as without my current girlfriend (since she seems like it'll be a bust as well).

It varies I suppose. But with my last relationship/divorce, I had sort of prepared for it, so when I finally had the nerve to tell him I wanted a divorce and I needed him to get out of the house, I was already over it to be honest. Not him though, and fast forward to now (3 and half years later) he still isn't over it.

So I'd say, it varies per person, the reason for breaking up has also a big play in it and if you can keep yourself busy so you can move forward it will also speed up the process. Crying in a corner my help for a little while and should be part of the process, just don't do it too long, cause else it will only slow down the process of moving on.

I’ve realized after growing out of my young and stupid Fais into the stage in life and simply ask which is mature enough to be in a marriage, that the reason I was able to MoveOn so quickly from shorter term relationships was that I wasn’t that attached and didn’t really care much either way. That is not somebody who is ready to be in a relationship with another person who has every right to expect emotional financial and chronological investment in that relationship. I wasted a lot of other peoples and my own time when I was young and stupid.

[ArrowheadSW]

Maybe a week or two. Usually it isn't that big of a deal and there are reasons leading up to it. The worst was when I was dating a lady for about two months and suddenly she broke up with no reasons given. It was going well so it was not expected. That took me a few months to get over. Turns out she reconciled with an ex while we were dating and decided to give it another try with the ex.

[meetkitty123]

It fluctuates they really depends on the prior relationship. Sometimes I can move on fairly quickly. Sometimes may take a little longer such as few months to year and with one relationship it took me 3 years only because the breakup was terrible painful.

[Lliam]

There was only one girlfriend whom I loved with all my heart. She loved me, too. We lived together for over a year. We separated for reasons that are complicated but didn't have to do with cheating or anything mean.
It took me a year to get over her and get on with my life. In fact, I never got over her.

[petitedollbabee]

Depends on how long the relationship was. If it was under a year long, then it takes me a few months to move on. If it was over a year long, it can take me a while to move on.


By move on I mean meet someone else. I don’t mean move on as in get over the person that was broken up with.

[DaveJord]

Kinda of a tough question. I was married for 22 years, but emotionally I moved on from the relationship around year 12 to 15. When actually ended I moved on overnight... so did it really take me 5 years to move on or was it overnight?

At this piont, I remember a time that I loved this women, but I can not recall the last time I was in love with her. So maybe people just move on without knowing when it really happens.

[Fireguy17]

last one about 3 minuets.
I was going to call and tell her but she beat me to it.
She sounded kind of surprised by my reaction, all bright and cheery.
I never did tell her that I was planning to do the same thing.
She was hot, but there was just nothing there.

[RealMarek]

I felt a weight off of my shoulders immediately after the break-up from a long marriage, but took a few years to learn all I could from it and to regroup before dating again.

[Paris13]

Beautiful. xx

[BlackElph]

It usually takes a few months for me. My response is different that I have now. I toldy man that I wanted to go on a break but I won't be seeing anyone else. He said he won't see anyone neither. The next day he said we basically never broke up bc we're still committed to each other... So we're still together just figuring some things out. Evidently I'm terrible at breaking up with people lol

[Alex8736]

If it was short term and many red flags were giving you doubts to terminate the relationship then it won't be long before moving forward but if it was something long term or if I was involved in a toxic relationship I would need at least 6 months just to have a clear head to start dating again so the person I might start dating won't feel like a rebound

[not_a_gamer_girl]

Took me a long time to get over my ex-fiancé, but I did and honestly I’m better for it.

[Paris13]

Amazing, sweetheart. xx

[Aerolyn]

Only fell in love twice so far, seems like it takes me years both times.

One of the reason I don't get myself entagled in romance often, like at all.

It affects me fundamentally each time.

[melanieeeB]

It depends, paris... the one time it was immediately, I was already emotionally done with everything way bevor and the second well still working on it and it's been 11 months now

[AviatorTom]

After my divorce, it took me about a year to start dating again. Then, I dated several women, one at a time, and broke up with them, usually taking a few weeks after each breakup.

[nomandik]

Well since my last break up was in 2010 and I'm still single go to the math and figure it out now there's a chance that I won't be single no more for a small one but somebody on here has to give me their phone number and be willing to talk on the phone all night long

[douride2]

I tend to be sentimental. Most of them took a long time @Paris13

[Paris13]

IO had Only One as a Teen that was First Love, girl. xxoo
