Actually, for me: you never forget someone whom you loved, but time helps to ease the wounds When the time comes, and those wounds are completely healed, you may find someone who truly appreciates the great person you are

Depends. You have to be willing to move on, get better, of course it will take some time, cheating really hurts, but stay positive, keep an open mind, and love yourself.

It could be a year or two or more. It actually depends on you and your journey. The more important thing is you take your time.

I'm going through this. Self esteem has a lot to do with it. Mine was/is low, so I thought more of him than me, so taking longer. Strong self esteem means you consider yourself and what's best for you so with it, you'll heal faster.

There is no set time for getting over someone whether or not they cheated on you. Time is a factor in most cases but it also depends upon the relationship and how it ended. It could take months to get over someone but even more so if you still have belongings that were once theirs, live near-by, see them in the street or if you have any images of the person. No one can give you an exact time frame but if you're going to get into another relationship, always make sure you're not filling a hole. Try not to get into another relationship until you're definite that you're over your previous as these can conflict your emotions you may have for the new potential partner.

It depends from person to person and also as to how much you cared for the person who has betrayed you.. If it's someone you really care about, had memorable times with and are really close to the person, then it might take a little while longer. It also depends on what steps we're taking to get over the incident. If we keep dwelling on it and thinking about how we've been cheated, then not only does it become healthy but also the lengthens the healing process. Therefore, the fastest way would probably be to accept that the incident has occurred and try to forgive the person and move on. Talking to the person as to why they might have done something like that can help not only in clearing any misunderstandings but will also allow you to get over it much more quickly. Hope you can get over it soon and return to being happy...

It took me not that long to get over my ex -- I wasn't fully committed to the relationship anyways but it did hurt for a while. The best thing for me was to not dwell on it.

As long as it takes for you to move on after realizing that you cannot forget...yes memories which cause pain to you..memories which hold you back...Will never go away...but a day would come when you will overcome it and let it be at the back of your mind..it'll nag but it's more like the sound of the fan in your room or the sound of the clicking of the clock ...you will see it..hear it ...feel it..only when you think about it..but it'll always be there ...it's upto you to push it to the back of your mind...accept the truth ..accept yourself...accept the real true beauty in you and move on...coz "who's got the right to stop you in finding your true happiness?"...

It doesn't really have to take a certain amount of time. As long as the person is truly sorry they can be gorgiven.

Technically it took 2 years for me to get over someone. It was difficult because we were in 4yr relationship. But it depends with person to person. I was not strong at that time and that may the reason for 2 years. Even after 2 years i have dreams but that doesn't bother me now. But in the end everything is going to be fine.. Remember one thing that "IT IS A MATTER OF TIME" . learn from your mistakes.
