Everyone is different. Everyone experiences loss different. My first ex husband was a very short marriage ( 3 years) but he ripped my heart out. I was young. Only 18 when I married him. There will still be times when I think of him and get sad but the pain is WAY less. Another love that was killed in a wreck. It's been a lot of years. Pain is less
But it still surfaces. It probably always will pop up occasionally but it's something I can manage..think about. Cry a bit and then think about what good times I can and smile and move on

@caccoon its not such a big thing here haha dont worry about it though :p
It depends on how emotionally invested I was in the relationship. It'a gone from a couple of weeks to over a year.
@caccoon It depends how they end too. Some relationships are long dead before they are officially over and ending them is more of a formality...but then sometimes you still have a lot of feelings for someone even if you know you can't be with them and those ones take a bit longer to get over.

There are different levels of hurt. I may be able to function after a few days or weeks, but the last part can take years for sure and probably decades.

It really depends on the relationship. Usually anywhere from six months to a year and a half or so. 🤔

@thepreposterouspanda it does depend on the relationship, it's true

@MyNameIsHurl I feel like I need to do the same. It's too painful and I'm just terrible at relationships really
I just have this very intense desire for one 😔

@caccoon me too, until I remember how horrible they are, hahaha.
Years. Last time I cried over my ex was last year and we ended things about 5 years ago.
Ideally, no relation is permanent enough to sustain forever coz life itself is Not forever.

Short term a few days maybe a week
Long term it’ll be a while could take years

Everyone gets over things in their own time. I think it’s worse because this guy was such a dick with the cheating.
You didn’t deserve that, any of it. I hope you get past it soon because he doesn’t deserve to have anymore space in your head.

@caccoon yes you will and you will forget about him with time.
That’s a nice feeling to get rid of stuff.

@iamonfire696 I will, I am excited for when thinking of him doesn't make me feel sadness pangs. When I can just recognize that he wasn't really very good to me (or for me) at all

@caccoon I am excited for you to feel that way too 💞
