Sometimes it can only take a week, sometimes it can take a year. The truth is that there's no definite amount of time it takes to recover from something like that. Everyone is different. Just stick it out and know that it gets a lot better

There is no definitive answer I'm afraid. I myself never got over it, but have drawn a valuable life lesson from the experience which has allowed me to succeed in my future relationships. At some point you will likely become paranoid, maybe even experience jealousy, but if you love your partner and they love you back, then your relationship will be built on honesty and respect for one another. Everyone is different. Some will carry the burden of a broken heart for life, some for a few years, and others will immediately make peace with what happened and move on. Either way, if you feel sad, unable to cope or are struggling, come and speak to one of 7 cups listeners!

It generally takes about one week to one year depending upon the emotional attachment you had with the person. Also the time spent and the effort you put in. But one just starts to live without them not exactly forget them altogether.

It varies from person to person. Make sure you don't push people away. Embrace your loved ones. That will definitely help the process along faster. Talk to someone. :)

To me it deppens from person to person. We are all different. Someone will never get over it. Someone will tolerate even the hardest things.

Everyone is different, and each relationship is different. Sometimes it takes months, or even years. But finding things to keep yourself busy and happy is so important. Knowing that everything is gonna be okay always helps too.

I think this is a very personal thing. Each person is completely different. Some people never get over it, and others get over it quickly.

It's different for everyone. Sometimes it'll take weeks possibly even years. As long as you are actively taking steps to reflect and heal ,recovery is inevitable.

to me, it depends on how long we were together and how attached I was to that person. It'll take a while tho...
