How long does it take you to get over a serious relationship? Some experts say 6 months no matter how long it lasted if no communication. 6 months to move on with life & not think of the s/o every minute. True or not?

Longer than most, the last two breakups I was single for two years -
1/3 the length of the relationship, is what I heard, which seems reasonable except that if you marry someone for 20 years, I don't see you waiting 7 years after a divorce to move on. I don't think there's a magic formula. probably depends on the length of the relationship, how good it was, if it was someone's first relationship or whatever, things like that.

It all totally depends on the break up...I definitely have not gotten over my relationship(lasted 2.5 years). I still live with her with other roommates, because we can't break a lease, and we have had casual sex, It's super hard to get over, it's been about 3 months since we broke up...but to answer your question, the fact that i still live with her definitely doesn't help, but if there is that much time in between a break, lets say 6 months, respectively, i think that both people can get over it...but as i said, it all depends on the break up.

It actually depends on the person and the breakup.

I think it's pointless to try and narrow it down to such a specific time, but I understand why they would say 6 months. There are too many factors that affect the outcome for each individual. Someone who broke up after only 6 months might not take as long to get over the reltionship as a person who was married for 52 years and lost their spouse to cardiac arrest, for instance. A lot of it depends on the mindset/attitude of the person experiencing the loss. Many people process grief and loss differently, but perspective can significantly lessen the amount of time it takes to be open to love again. +5

6 months would be too long. We must pull ourselves up and move on as quickly as possible. Conditioning the mind would hold the key. Life is short. Active life is far too short.

Every relationship was different. I would say six months is average. The longer the relationship went on the harder ; and the closer you were the harder.

Maybe it is different but my husband died 3 years ago at Christmas and I am certainly not over it.

it takes awhile to get over it I have a tendedancy to try to figure what went wrong so I don't repeat

It took me over 12 months to get over my Ex. We were together for almost 10 years. I leaned to be alone before I ventured forth again. I was hard and scary after so long of having someone close, but I mastered myself and am better for it.

I do not know can i get back to you? It has only been a couple days. :)

It's different from person to person. Some can be "over it" in a snap. Others take much longer. Still others may never really be "over it". It's a grieving process, just as if someone you loved deeply died. The difference is that you know they are alive, and there's always the POSSIBILITY that you could get back together. BUT, problems can occur when your not over it, and you start a new relationship, with them, or with someone else. No matter when that relationship occurs, you have to KNOW for SURE that it's NOT a "rebound relationship"... That you love that person for being who THEY are, and not because you transferred feelings from the first relationship to the second. I always advocate writing.
