How long does it take to get over heartbreak? Well, it's time to restart...

The answer isnt time. You can sit looking out the window watching the seasons come and go and grow old still broken hearted. Or you can get busy doing the things you didnt do because it was not a shared interest with your ex. You will have a list of things he wasnt into. There is your starting point. Once thats rolling, think about those things you always wanted to do, but didnt have the time.. The one I always quote, just as an example is indoor rock climbing. It doesnt have to be that of course. But you get the idea.. Entertaining yourself with interesting things will help paint new memories over those cracks pretty quickly..😷
Can be days, weeks, months, years.... often depending on what you shared together. My last partner we both lost parents together, one at the beginning of our relationship, and while it carved a knife into our relationship it also drew us closer, then we kept friends after we separated, in that time she was losing her father, couldn't drive to the station to see him so I helped her, it took a toll on my heart, watching her cry and cry while he had also become a father to me...

So there is no timeline... other than knowing what your heart wants and following her intent.

There is a saying in Spanish: "un amor cura otro."

Which loosely translated means one love cures another.

In other words get back up on the horse that threw you. There are many fish in the sea. Be accepting of God's plan. He may have someone much more Worthy in store for you. Good luck in your life and be open and accepting. The universe bends over backwards to provide what we need. We don't always get what we want but we get what we need. Let go. And be happy. Birdie

Not wanting to suggest coat it, but i think it's a matter of making a decision.
Yes, shit happens... You can let it define the next few months or years of you can they're yourself back into life and find purpose and a reason to go on.
And no, I'm not pretending it's easy, but it's easier than wasting years and tears

Good luck on your journey

Take as much time as you need. Running into the next relationship without focusing on yourself for a while can lead to repeat mistakes. There’s no rush. I’ve been single for years, and I never thought I would like it. It took some time to adjust.

longer than youd like -_-

Took me over 20 years before I was able to realize I’m better at where I am now than the idea that my ex and I needed to be together. It takes me a while to get things right though.

It takes as long as it takes, and time alone doesn't heal. You need distance and something positive to fill up the empty space left by the person who broke your heart. Be gentle with yourself.

I've heard the best way to get over one guy is to get under a new one.
But ppl handle things differently. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Either until the pain forms a scar on your heart, or you find an upgrade. Time heals all wounds.

It's different for everybody.
You'll have bad days - then some good ones.

Sorry for your pain.

I found it takes too long and if your feelings were true, you never fully recover

Depends on how deep the relationship was.
