How long does it take to get over someone?
March 4, 2008 by houstonsocialbutterfly
I was chatting with a friend today about her date last night and how he doesn’t think that she’s over her ex. I told her that it takes about 1/2 the time you were with someone, to get over them. I remember seeing it on Sex and the City when Carrie was trying to get over Mr. Big. I also remember reading it somewhere. It seems that it is true to an extent. With my past relationships, it seems that it has taken about that long to get over them…but it seems that they always remain in my heart. I think we learn from our relationships whether they are good or bad….but getting over and thru the bad ones just helps make it easier to sift thru for the good ones!
I just discovered my wife cheated on me - weekend away in Asheville. We were married for 8 years and have a 4 year old son. I trusted her fully and loved her so very much. She was my world. I did some digging and found her anonymous blog on this website. I discovered that she had another life blogging and posting half naked pictures of herself. We are separated and I would never go back to her but my heart aches and I feel all alone. It has been less than thirty days and according to you I have another three years and 11 months to get over her. Thanks.
I don’t think that it works the same for first love. It took me about 14 years to get over Joe! LOL. But we developed a great friendship in the end, so it was well worth the pain.
i read that as long as you never have to be in contact with them again, it should only take 30 days. this means absolutely NO CONTACT for 30 days (avoid him in the streets, at hang out spots, his friends, his picture, his blog/myspace/facebook, whatever). i made it a rule to not stay friends with exes. and even tho it might seem childish, it works. by the time you get re-in contact with them, you still luv them, but you dont Love them, you know? Love is a risk, just like taking a plane. you never fully calculate what the outcome might be. you just know it gets bumpy at time and u always hope for a safe landing. but then again, what do i kno. im only 20 something.
