Dozy   11 #3 Posted October 4, 2009 It lasts as long as it lasts - there's no magic cut-off time, when it suddenly stops hurting and you forget all about it.  And the pain doesn't necessarily get any less, it just gets less frequent, so it doesn't dominate your life.  The best thing you can do is distract yourself from it, go out, make new friends, take up new interests - give yourself less time to think about it. It's not easy at first, but it really does help. The more you find to do, the less often you'll feel the pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Plenty of time for being in a relationship again.  I was the same when i broke up but **** happens and you have to accept the path ahead.

medusa   16 #9 Posted October 4, 2009 i heard its meant to be 1/3 of the length of time you were with someone to get over it.  That's twaddle. I was only with my partner who died a matter of months, but I still grieve for him now, even when I'm in another relationship 3 years later.  There's no such thing as a set time for grieving for lost loves, whether that loss comes as a result of splitting up or death of your loved one.  Cry when you need to cry, laugh when you need to laugh, reminisce when you need to reminisce. I hope you feel better soon norks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
DragonofAna   10 #10 Posted October 4, 2009 It never goes away. Sometimes it is easier to deal with than other times. You miss the kisses and the cuddles, and the debates over what you are going to have for tea; the goodmornings and goodnights; the presence of your ex is like a ghost - ever haunting.  You know you have to get over it, and time eventually makes it a little easier ... but it never goes away. Just more baggage for you to carry for the rest of your life.  And sometimes you will sit there alone at night and cry - but that's okay.  Dragon of Ana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
