When a WOMEN comes out of a BAD relationship HOW long does it take before she is ready for another one?

Question

On average, how long does it take for a women to get over the horrible relationship and move on?

Answer 1

There's no set time. It depends on the woman, the relationship, and why it ended.

I would say no earlier than a year though. Anything from 0 days to a year screams that it's a rebound date. She has a lot to process, and jumping into a relationship isn't going to do any good for anyone.

Answer 2

It depends. Sometimes you grieve in the relationship while you are still in it, if deep down you know it will never work anyway. If this has occurred, then you have a head start. But if the end comes as a surprise, even though things were bad, then day 1 starts from dump/dumpee day (D Day).

It also depends on if she was the dumper or the dumpee. Recovery is easier if you are the dumper. You're stronger just for being brave enough to take the first step.

To get over it quicker, I think a good idea is to try for self improvement. Take the time during recovery to determine what kind of boyfriend you want next. Take a look at what you may have done wrong in the relationship. It's better than just sitting and moping.

Answer 3

Hi crazy,

Well, of course it depends upon the nature and reasons for the seperation, but generally most women take about one year to two years to fully recover if the relationship was particularly intense and a lot of closeness with their boyfriend. If the woman takes the seperation very badly, then she can take up to five years or more, but this is rare.

It took me at least a year or more to recover from past boyfriends , but that is also because I am very doting and adoring of a man I am with and very passionate. Not all people in a relationship will have these strong feelings and deep committment and so if they are unhappy anyway, means that the quicker that they are likely to move on and for these women, on average, would take a few weeks and less than six months.

A breif liason for a few months with someone is far easier to get over and because there wasn't enough trust and love built up in that short period of time, so this doesn't take long at all.

I would say that a 1.5 (one and a half years) is the general norm amongst women and before they are ready to committ to anyone else after a breakup.

Answer 4

like everyone else has said, it just depends. There are many factors to consider like:

How the relationship was (was it good, bad, abusive?)
How bad the break up was
How long they were together
How serious the relationship was
How much self confidence the girl has

all of that and more. No one can just say, "I want to be over this person, so I'm giving myself until friday." Also there is a difference between moving on, and being "healed" or completely over the relationship.

Answer 5

There is no easy answer. Every woman, and every experience, is different.

I was in a BAD relationship for 5 years, and it took me another 5 before I could even consider dating. There's more to it than getting over "the relationship": you have to regain your self-esteem and 'find' yourself again, and that can take a long time.

Too often, women (and men) jump right into another relationship before resolving the issues caused by the last one... and that's not fair to either party.

Answer 6

It depends on the girl. If she was really in love with the guy, it might take ages. But if she realizes how bad it was, she might not want to get into another relationship because she thinks it might happen the same, or she might learn from previous situations and in a few months get over and date again.... It is not sure. As I said, It totally depends on the girl.

Answer 7

i think it depends on how serious the relationship was, how long it lasted, and whether it was her first relationship or a subsequent one. the woman's age may also play a role. the biggest factor will be the reason for which the relationship ended.. if there was physical/sexual or emotional abuse, then this could leave long-term or even permanent scars, both physically and emotionally.

i've known people who jump right into a rebound relationship and it works out. others will get into a rebound relationship that won't work out. ....others will wait months, even years, until dating again.

every woman is different, and every man is different too

Answer 8

It depends on how horrible it was. I was in a relationship with an emotionally/mentally abusve jerk, and it took me 6 months to get over our 4 month relationship. (2 of those months of dating, he was out of the country.) So, I would say give her at least as long as they were together.

Answer 9

It depends on how bad the relationship was. You may think that youu are ready for another one, but you might not be. It takes as long as you need

Answer 10

U cant put a timing on those things. It depends on a lot. It depends on what went on in the relationship, how emotionally strong she is, the cause of the break up (whether it was him or her), how old she is, other emotional factors. It gets too screwy. When a woman is ready, it's obvious. Don't push it.
