Ok, so I thought I was moving on after my breakup. I am too old for this. It has been 16 days now, but who's counting. I broke down crying again today. How long does it take, and how can I forget?

I'm guessing it was a long term relationship? You two built up feelings for one another for months and probably years, it's not all going to go away in two weeks. There's nothing immature about being hurt. It'll happen as it happens, til then just try to get out there and live your life and not stay huddled up dwelling on the pain.

When we are in pain, there isn't a set time limit that the pain goes away. Depending on the entire realtionship ( how long you were together, how committed you were, how old you are, things like that) is what really matters. You don't just move on and forget, and even if you are too old for this, as you put it, it doesn't mean that your broken heart is. Somtimes, you just can't mend a broken heart. You have to give it time to mend itself. Sixteen days really isn't that long, and if you think you are weak , you aren't. You don't just pick up the peices, brush off the dust and say NEXT!!! when something doesn't work. Give yourself time to heal. Be by yourself for a while, and enjoy life a little more. Somewhere out there is the right one for you, and you're worth it to wait for them to come around. Good luck and God Bless.

ok I know its hard. But stop buying a ticket on the emotional roller coaster. Life is hard enough. Ive been here and It took me a long time to come out of it. Together 15years & Now 3yrs after the break up I am just coming into my own again. I was doing that same thing your doing and it only made it harder.

i am going through the same thing. I cry all the time and can't function at work. I signed myself up for counseling which is helping a little bit so far. The only thing that will help unfortunately is time. But whatever you do, do not look at his pictures!!!!

Iv'e allways heard (I hope its not true) it takes the same amount of time to get over someone as the time you were with them. ? . 16 Days isn't that long, cut yourself some slack, you have a heart! Time heals all things- you know this, its the time things thats hard.
