A week? Month? Year? I'm just kind of curious about how long others take. Thanks.

You will never lose the feelings you had for someone, the love you had is faded, but it is never completely gone and will never leave you.
Those are just things you are going to have to expect. But of course, things will get better little by little.
Let yourself linger onto something new.

Supposedly there is the half rule, that it takes half the time you were in a relationship to get over the person. So if you were together for 10 years then it will take 5 years to get over. I don't know how true that is, but my mother was married to my father for 27 years, they have been divorced for about 15 and she is still not over him.

A year. Kind of complicated, though. My bf cheated on me, but I gave him another chance and tried to work it out with him. I didn't trust him anymore, so our relationship was very bumpy, and about a year later I realized that after how badly he'd treated me, I just didn't love him anymore. It wouldn't have taken me that long to get over it if I had just broken up with him, it only took me that long because I was still with him. So when I finally left him, I was already over it and there was no recovery period at all.

Well it was a long time, like about 15 years.
I was really in love.
But I never tried to interfere with his life. Except for telling him how much I would love him forever and wanted him to love me too.
I should have let go but didn't.
I loved the love I'd felt.
I am over it now and I am grateful for the time and love he gave me.
But after all it was the right thing to do at the time.
He was healthy and I was not.
I believe that if not for him, I'd be dead.
How's that for hanging on?
And here's the real kicker, I broke up with him.

My husband died when my daughters were 5 and 2, I'll never not think that his passing is the worlds loss, he was a kind, strong and honest man, however I see his smile in my daughters (both now grown up). I am in love with my partner now who is also an extraordinarily good man. I'm not sure if that counts as being over him or not.

Well, it really depends on the circumstances. My *longest* recovery was from my last relationship -- it took a couple of years to finally feel at ease with the way things turned out.

Been 10 years and I still am not over him. I have gone on with my life of course, but I would probably take him back any time, even though I know I shouldn't.

I suppose it depends on how close you were to the person to begin with and how long you were together.Do you still see that person as that can take longer to get over them. There is no set time,each person is different I'm afraid.
