how long did it take you to get over your ex?

Answer 1

About a 1 & 1/2 - 2 years. I still love him so much though.

Answer 2

When I happened to meet another guy during the breakup it would take about two months but if I didn't meet someone else it would take more like ten before I could say I was almost over it. And my last ex I am still not over ...you get over whenever you're ready to move on and that is reallyup to the person.

Answer 3

I was once in a relationship with a guy I thought was my soulmate. He went to spend some time with his mother in the country after his Grandmother died. He left saying how much he loved me and sweetly kissed me goodbye.
I never saw him again.
About 2 weeks later he rang and asked me to send him his stuff. He was so cold about it, like I never even mattered to him. We'd been together for over a year and engaged for almost six months at the time he dumped me.
2 years later I still wasn't over him. I thought I never would be. I dated a couple of guys, but none could take my mind off 'the one that got away.' I thought I'd be in love with him for the rest of my life.
But, about 2 and a half years after I last saw him, I finally started to get over it. Some days I wouldn't think about him at all and then, eventually, I hardly ever thought of him. And, the most important thing was, whenever I DID think about him, it didn't hurt anymore.
Now, 4 years later, I still think about him every once in a while and wonder what could've happened, but it's very rare, and it doesn't tear me up like it used to. I don't think I'll ever forget about him, but I'm totally over the relationship now.
This is the worst example I have of getting over a guy. It took a long time, but I'm over it now.
I guess my point is, no matter how much it hurts, (and I know it does, BELIEVE ME, I know) and no matter how much you think this hole in your heart will be there forever, eventually it will heal. You may never forget him, but you will get over it, sooner or later. I wish there was some magic formula I could give you to help you right now, but unfortunately, the only cure is time. But I promise you, it WILL get better. You just have to be open to healing, and try not to hang onto these feelings longer than you need to.

Answer 4

It's been 5 years and I still want him and love as much as the day we met... and if it is real then it doesn't just go away like some people say... if you can get over it in a week or two it was never real to begin with.

Answer 5

it depends on how long your with that person and how much you cared for him. I was with a guy for a little over a year, i was devastated when we broke up, i was SO depressed for a while, i took me about 4 months to get over him and realize that we were through, in a way i still was holding on to that dream that we would get back together. but yeah over all it took me about 2 months to want to start looking and talking to other people, but i wasn't totally over him until 4 months past and i was happy and dating and just doing fun single stuff

Answer 6

What! Get over him! NEVER. No matter what people tell you, you never get over an ex. You may move on and even be happier with someone else but your never over them. If you truly cared for this person then those feelings don't just die off. They might not be as strong, but they are always there. That's what makes us human.

Answer 7

getting over an ex isnt always easy. depending on the length and level of the relationship, you many never get over that person, but it just turns into a different kind of love and compassion for them. there are men i have dated 10 years ago that i will still do anything for, but they do not compare at all to my fiance now =)

Answer 8

about a year

Answer 9

2-12 months depending on how strong you feel about them. a year is usually grieving period for losing a relative so in most cases not near that long.

Answer 10

Months and months. I'm completely over him now and have found a new boyfriend and we've been together for 6 months.
