How long would you say it takes to get over someone fully or what would it take Yesterday marked what would of been my 3 year anniversary with my ex, and it was a little tough, but besides this I feel it hasn't been as hard without him. We did break up in December. In general I don't dwell on things, but I do miss what we had and sometimes get emotional. Is this pretty common would you say.
Mourning time is not the same for everyone. maybe if you don't see him at all it would be a little easier, move to a new house. Take a vacation to the Middle East, Kuwait for example

The answer is different for each person. It took me SEVERAL years and others not that long. You'll know when you're ready.

With my ex hubby, who I was with for 12 years, ... it took about 6-8 months, but it did help that I met someone else at that time..
but the last BF, (was with him 9 months) it took longer, in the end I had to stop all contact as I could not get over him, took longer to get over him than the ex hubby..
though I do talk to him now (the ex-BF) and we get on well, but the heart no longer flips a beat for him...
with my ex-hubby with 8-year-marriage, it took about 3 months to get over him because I went abroad to travel and work. It is a great way to distract my mind not to think about him all the time and I met someone else within short time.
with my ex boyfriends in the middle, it took not even a month as long as I didn't sleep over with them. If I unfortunately did, generally ... mmmm .... say about 1.5 months and with effort to remove them from my mind.
with my recent boyfriend (I think to get rid of him ) I don't know yet if I I have the courage to do that ....

Yes. Things take time and the breakup is still relatively fresh.
You'll process it and eventually move on. You'll realize that only focusing on him or wanting the past again only brings disharmony. It's okay to feel that and process it. Actually, you have to.
There will be another opportunity for you when you are ready, only when you are ready and emotionally healed up for you last lover.
Depends on you....If you close all the time the circle with the past and why..and if..and why it will take you a much time longer.. Try to break this circle and go ahead with new views and changes... It works! I know what I am talking about! Good luck!

Yes, very common. It's easy to remember the good things and miss that part, and to forget the hard parts of the relationship and romanticize the whole thing. As with all healing, it just takes time. The amount of time needed would be different for each and every person I would think. Best of luck to you
