That can change from person to person and it definitely does vary depending on the situation, but i recommend taking as long as you need! You're only human and its okay to feel things even long after the relationship is over

It varies from person to person. Some people can take months and or years to get over someone. Its an individual thing and not definable by a set time limit.

It depends on how you deal with the situation tbh, if you spend every waking moment thinking about it and not trying to go out and live your life then it's going to take quite a while but if you go out and have fun and meet new people and get over the past.

Getting over someone depends on the person that is trying to get over someone. It's different for everyone because of the different methods one takes to move on. For some people it may take a few hours or some, years, or sometimes never.

There's no real answer to this question. It all depends on you, what you do and the person you're getting over. It could take weeks, months, or even years. But it will happen.

It depends really, it depends on how much you cared for them, how long you were together and if you see them after the breakup. It gets easier though, it takes time but it gets easier.

It varies from person to person, and every instance is different. Take comfort in knowing that time heals all wounds. (:

It can be different from person to person. It's a process you work with. You can't tell how long it takes.

I suppose we should start with what it means to "get over someone." I don't think there's a black or white answer as to what that means. For some, it could mean less intense emotions when thinking about this person. For others, it could mean no feelings at all and rarely thinking of the person. When a breakup occurs, there is usually some grief, along with other emotions. These are all normal, and it's important to give yourself space and patience after a breakup.

In my opinion, there is no specific number of days you can attach to getting over someone. Based on my experience, It depends on each person individually and the connection you had with the person you are trying to get over. I believe that focussing on the time it takes to get over someone might make moving on more difficult. Focussing on moving on in a healthy way and getting to a place of happiness and comfort with where you are with the particular person and, more importantly, yourself, in my opinion, should be the main goal of moving on.
