How long does it take to get over a broken heart after being with them for ten years??

Answer 1

Sex in the city says it takes half the time you went out with them to fully get over them. 5 years?

Answer 2

It depends, were you really in love or just used to the routine of having someone there. People often get the two confused. You're probably not going to get over them until you let yourself find someone new, but then again you will fall into that emotional dependency and it from then on will become a vicious cycle. Try not dating or even thinking about dating for 6months to a year even. Or if you really feel that you're over this person with a month or two you can try the dating world out again. The last thing you need is a quick re-bound that ,in the end will leave you missing what you had.

Answer 3

I was with someone 11 1/2 years when we broke up. I honestly knew it was the best thing because truly in the long run we didnt want the same things. It's still very hard though. Take some time for yourself. Do somethings you want to do and enjoy yourself. Go out with your friends and have fun. It took me about a year and a half before I had the thought of dating someone else. But I did it and go through it and I've been back in the dating scene since. It's been 7 years now since we broke up and every once in a while he still calls to see how I am doing. But, the feelings have definitely diminished with time and I just talk to him as friends now. It seems when it happens it will never be better, but just give yourself the time you need (don't go by anyone else's time frame but your own) and things will work out for you!

Answer 4

It's difficult to say how long it may take to get over a broken heart. Everyone is different. You need to give yourself as long as you need. Some people take years to heal. All I can say is move on emotionally and stick with good honest people who you know care about you and what you need from life. If you hang around trashy sorts you will be setting yourself up for failure in the long run. Set high standards for yourself and don't settle for anything less. Make yourself happy each day by doing what makes you feel content within yourself and don't worry about how others feel. Pick up the pieces and think positive, this way you won't set yourself up for failure. Realize what went wrong in your passed relationship and try not to go down this road again. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

It depends on the individual. Some people can get over previous relationships very fast, but others take a longer time. For example. I went out with my ex for only 1½ years but now after 6 years apart he still keeps saying he loves me. However I know other people who can get over things much faster. If you really loved a person deeply for 10 years I'd say it would take quite some time to fully get over it, but as I said it is a very subjective thing.

Answer 6

That is a good question. I was with my boyfriend for 10 years and then married to him for 13 before he left. I would say the first year, I was devastated. It was hard to go from stay at home mom to working two jobs single mom. After a year, I started going out with my friends more and after meeting different people and socializing by the time the second year came around, I wasnt even sure what I was attracted to about him in the first place. Give yourself time to get over him and then do your best to get over it. It does get better with time. You may surprise yourself with how little time you may actually need. Good luck

Answer 7

Is up to you to decide to sit down in your home and feel depressed all your life because of a heart break from a ten year relationship. Best advise is to try new things for fun not telling you to start dating all over again just go out do things on your own. Try new things you never try before because you was in a relationship. Discover yourself be single, that's how you recuperate. Sometimes we don't know our self while we are in a relationship.

Answer 8

This can depend on exactly how you feel over the breakup! If you accept that the relationship is over. If however you are looking back with regrets over a lost relationship, then this is harder. You should never have regrets and always live for the moment, another love is always around the corner as long as you can forgive and put the past behind you. if you cannot then you may never truly get over a lost love, but it will become easier. Think of all their bad points, and be honest, we all have our bad points. You can do it! Its hard! I have

Answer 9

The sooner you can get with someone else the sooner it will help. Other wise it will take a longer time of maybe a few years before it really gets to where you only think about this person without crying and the pain. Sorry for your heartbreak I think there are so many of us that can relate to what you are going through.

Answer 10

As long as it takes hon. It might be a matter of weeks or it could take years. I hate to say this, but you might never be completely over it. Try to do the things you really love doing, or take up a new hobby to try and keep your mind off things. Dont sit in the house wallowing, this will only make things worse (easy for me to say, i know). Make new friends - you can always email me if you want. Good luck!

Answer 11

Someone once told me that it takes half the time you were with someone to properly get over someone. However, I don't think there is a set time to be honest. It differs from person to person. I think once you've been with someone for that long you never properly get over them as they will always hold a place in your heart. But it is ok to move on when you're ready. Good luck x
