As long as you decide on that. We always try to live in past and find difficult to come over of it. The minute you start thinking that you want to get over by your Partner/Friend start working towards it. it will not take much time.

Unfortunately, it's different for everyone. It really depends on the person. For some, it can take a couple of weeks. For others, it can take years. And it's natural to feel impatient with this sort of process. But it will eventually happen.

It depends on how long and how intense the relationship was really. So if you had a longer and deeper relationship with somebody the healing process might take a while...

it can take a long time, but eventually you will get over them, even if it takes years. Try to distract yourself from them, get rid of belongings of theirs or things that remind you of them. Also do remember that your allowed to feel sad, to miss them, even tho you two broke up. Everyone gets over a breakup at a different speed, so dont beat yourself up for the speed that your getting over it.

I don’t think we can estimate an exact time to get over, it truly varies from person to situations. But I believe that one factor that will help us overcome is the deep decision in our life to overcome, everything begins with our deep determination. Other factors like distance, being in the same group etc also play a role. So distance is good, not being part of a common group etc also helps. The other thing that helps is to have other meaningful relationships and a purpose in life- that could be a job, an interest , a cause etc.

I learned that that my perspective was made up of my set of circumstances and my experience. That will vary with each of us, and you know yourself best. Healthy minded approach worked best for me. In time, I learned that my previous friendship was great preparation for the next. I became more discerning and chose more wisely moving forward. I was more studious of character in the early stages of the relationship which made me more decisive as to whether or not I should proceed with the friendship. Time being precious, I learned to seek out those with character,

This is a question that is almost impossible to answer with an accurate number. Everyone is different. Coping mechanism for breaking up with your significant other will vary based on your experiences and the way you grow up and learn throughout life. It really depend on how you see things and how you cope with them. If you are able to keep your mind busy and maintain a routine where you are not thinking about this person or relationship, you eventually will overcome the nature of being used to someone. Now, this does not account for the amount of love you may have for someone. Stopping the feelings for love for someone is a different concept, and may naturally happen at a different rate.
