Actually a research involving a large sample of men has demonstrated that men (unlike women) will never completely get over a breakup. While they might look OK shortly after the breakup, after some time the pain develops and it never completely disappears. Men also usually do not have such an extensive support network of friends like women who help them emotionally.
Obviously since we were Young it won't be the same as a normal relationship, but we were together about 13 months, and it took me about 6 months. She broke up with me, and she actually never told me why. Maybe I'm a shitty guy for not knowing, but to this day I don't know why.
Well once im done thats it im done. I may miss certian things but truthfully it wouldn't matter cause what they did to me was not worth them being in my life at all. No room for cheaters. So haven't met a girl I'd have a hard time getting over and if i did I'd probably do what i could to make the relationship work cause id view her as a person thats worth it.
When my X broke up with me, we had been dating for about 5 months, I didn't get over it for a while but that was a year ago and now we are just friends. But it depends on the person, some people can get over relationships very quickly whereas others can take a very long time
Going by what I know personally and from friends, it seems we can't really get over the ones that mattered most. Save for, if we replace them.
Not sure how true that holds but it is the operating assumption I have. Seems to always be the determining factor.
My stb ex wife told me she wanted a divorce 3 1/2 months ago. I'm still heartbroken. I spent 3 months trying to talk her out of it. The last 2 weeks I have finally decided to try and move on, or at least stop trying. but it's still affecting my life in a major way. Our divorce will be finalized in late July. I don't know when I will finally move on. I suppose I should start trying to date, might help me get her off of my mind.
My first girlfriend broke my heart about 40 years ago.
After she skipped town with a scumbag bad boy, I found out that she had used a year-long relationship with me to conceal from her parents her secret relationship with the scumbag.
She destroyed me.
Depends on how much he loved her and how long they were together. It's been a year and a half, and I'm still not over mine and we only dated for 2 years. Never loved anyone as much as her. Before that it took half a year to get over one I'd been with for 3.5 years. I didn't love her nearly as much. If he meets someone better, it can cut the time short if he falls in love with her.
For me, for someone I fell hard for, it was a solid three years. Happened twice. It might have been healthy for me to date more during that time, but but would have taken someone patient and nurturing, who went in with an understanding of where I was coming from.
Not too long if he meets the next girl who comes very close to the guy. Its all lonliness which will make him think about her ex again and again but when he gets another good company then the other girl will takeover her place in his life
I’d say if it was a hard break up it might be 4 to 6 months. Not that he doesn’t want to move on before that but that she may still pop into his mind from time to time without wanting the memories to.
I honestly doubt I could. I am 9 months into a relationship, and have been planning the proposal for 8. She's the one, and if I lost her then that would just be it for me
