It really depends on the emotional connection you had with the person and on the terms the relationship between you ended. Sometimes if you are left on bad terms it can take a while but I promise you will eventually get over them, you just need the right support network, talking with people will speed up the process and being honest and accepting your emotions although difficult will make a world of difference! You need to try and just rebuild your life without them in it and the sooner you are capable of doing that, the easier and quicker it will be to get over.

Well there isn't an exact answer but maybe talking about your feelings will help you get through this rough time

It varies from person to person; some take just a few weeks, some can take years even! I find that keeping busy and being with others helps speed up the process a lot. I wish you luck :)

There is no set time in which you can get over someone that has to happen on it's own and that may take months, weeks, days and even years. It just depends on how much you really loved and cared about this person.

That is all up to you. Many people are different, I can give you advice but it could turn out to be unhelpful, in the end of the day you are the one that makes the choice.

Sometimes someone special in our life ends up leaving it for one reason or another. In my own experience, I have found this to be saddening, and cause feelings of loneliness. For a few months, I even felt hopeless that someone (or something) else special would come into my life to fill that hole in my heart. I had tried taking up new hobbies, working harder, but none of it helped me. One day, I stumbled upon this website, and however cheesy it may sound, I feel in love with it. Simply having someone to talk to really helped me get my life back on track, and feel understood. Later, I became a listener, and being able to help others through their problems made me feel even better. In the end, you just have to find whatever it is that makes you happy.

Only you can determine how long it will take for you to get over your previous partner/friend. Everyone is different and handles things differently. You have to find the best way that works for you in moving on from someone/something.

It depends on your feelings. Mostly, the first step to forget someone is to forgive and move on. If it somehow ended because of something wrong that you did, then you need to apologize for it and make them understand that you really are sorry. If it ended because of what your partner/friend did, then you need to forgive them and understand that holding grudges will only make it worse. Once you forgive you will move on with your life, find your peace of mind, and hopefully start to build new feelings whether through a friendship or a relationship!

It depends, no matter how long it will take, but give ourselves a timeframe for moving on. That would be more effective.

That is up to you and your heart. There is no set date that say you need to be over him/her by now. However long it takes for you!
