If you just recently broke up from a long and very unhealthy relationship, is it better to take some time to recover before jumping in to the next relationship????

It is good to take some time off and focus on yourself. I don't think there is a magic number to how long, though. Keep your eyes and heart open to the possibility of a new healthy relationship, because eventually it will happen when you least expect it. Good Luck!!

Definitely. All wounds take time to heal, even when its just the broken heart caused by a relationship that has gone bad.
Give yourself time to grieve. To mourn the passing of this, and the hopes you had for the relationship. Then when heart whole, healed, and sure you are ready, move on.
Then you can offer yourself and the new person, a completely free person.

Recovering from a break-up isn't easy. To help you deal with your grief, combat sadness, and boost self-esteem, try:
talking about how you feel with family and friends
taking good care of yourself physically — getting plenty of rest, eating healthy, and exercising
staying busy
doing things you enjoy
Sometimes, though, even when people are really trying to feel better, they may need some extra help recovering from a break-up. Talking to a counselor or other mental health professional can help them sort through their feelings and begin to feel better.

Most definately. I was married for 18 years. I took 4 years before getting in to something serious. You don't have to wait that long but you need some time alone to reflect.

one does need time after a broken heart to recover, and get to know oneself before jumping back in with a new person. because chances are your not over him yet, and it wouldn't be fair to the new person. it does take time to get over someone u have been with for so long. chances are that anyone u decide to be with will just be a rebound person and its not fair to them.

yes if you have time then relax and if not then get someone fast.
