I've heard of various theories regarding the length of time it takes to get over a long-term relationship. Some say it takes half the time you spent with the person, others say it takes two years. Personally I'm approaching the two year mark and I find that it's quite accurate. Though I still have dreams about my ex, in my dreams now there is an acceptance of the parting which was not there before. I also find that in these two years I've managed to rebuild my life and though there is a void, the years spent with him seem like the distant past. Can you ever put a time limit on grief and the course it has to run or does time really heal everything?

I would say there is no time limit as you could step out of your door tomorrow and meet the person of your dreams and they dispel any feelings of your ex. I suppose also it depends on you how long you have been together... as to dreams about ex's I think we will all be there dreaming of our first love when we are 90etc... Roll the dice and see what happens and remember we all carry our scars from relationships both the good and the bad...

It takes as long as you want to.

After a 24 yr relationship -married and with children- it took me a couple of months to cry and feel miserable but that was the time I did set for it and after that no more suffering.

Of course that good memories never go away.

NEXT!

I do think emotionally it takes most women longer than most men. We are just made that way. But the 2 year thing is just about right. Anyway, it was for me. Now, I just can't find the right person, that's the hard part.
