Approximately how long does it take to stop feeling sadness after a 2 year long relationship break up?

You haven't let go yet and you won't until you let go of everything keeping you to that person that means accounts, pictures, videos, letters, notes, belongings etc. because with all this around you, you still hold on to hope and I'm not saying that having hope in general is bad cause it's actually good but having hope in a relationship that doesn't exist anymore is tying yourself to it and you won't ever properly move on, that also includes stop looking at his profile and stuff if you do, the more time you spent with him out of your way, the easier it will be to move on.

If it were me, I would be about 4-6 months. Not that I miss the person, it would just take me that long to reset myself for another relationship.

mm nope, everyone is different. someone could have been checked out a year ago and then break up and it takes them like a month to bounce back. someone else could take 3+ years... you never know.

yeah, that makes sense. The weird thing is that I feel like I checked out months ago, and it just felt wrong to not break up. But now I feel so much regret, I miss him, and I have been thinking about him for the past 2 weeks more than I have over the past few months, and cannot stop crying. I am wondering if I really made the right choice.

i think you made the right choice. once you check out, there's no going back to those feelings that are lost in the relationship. just isn't the same after that

I haven't experienced a breakup and I've been sad for about 7 years now

About as long as it takes to meet someone new.

As long as it takes you to fall for another
