Sometimes one needs to be patient ... but it also means not putting your life on hold waiting on another to get their life together .... so its about deciding what boundaries that need to be in place to be fair to both people. Most times I could see a friendship evolving.
mcajr79: If you met someone who was still broken hearted years after a past relationship, what would you do? Is it worth trying to help them get over the pain?
I wouldn't like to come off as being insensitive but it would be too much baggage for me to deal with.

I wouldn't look for a new relationship if I'm not over someone and I wouldn't want to start something with someone who doesn't have his life together. If it's years after they broke up, will she ever be over it?
maybe just take it easy and get to know them slowly at their pace. it is tricky because you will never know when that person can move on and be ready. and when they are finally ready, they might want to date someone new and fresh.
I would definitely help them .Normaly, when we have problem about something in our life ,the answer that we need might be so simple and easy ..We just are not able to see it during the that time...
If you really like her, you can try. But imho, if she hasn't move on even after 1year, for me that's mean she doesn't want to let it go yet. Better to keep her as friend only. Cause I think big possibility you'll get rejected.
If I were the one who still broken hearted after years, I wouldn't want guys to after me. Cause it's pointless, why hurt both sides. I would feel bad rejecting him, he would be sad coz rejected. Why waste time?

If I met someone who was still broken hearted years after the end of a relationship, I would not want to get involved with that person. This person clearly has mental and emotional issues and needs therapy, and this person is not someone to get involved with because he is not ready to put his heart into a new relationship.
The idea of being with someone like that is just plain creepy and scary. I would want to be with a whole and healthy human being, not someone crippled by the pains he is still experiences after a relationship that ended years ago.

If she was married for a long time (i.e. 15+ years), then it can take years to get over the relationship. Some people never get over the loss, be it divorce or death. You cannot help someone get over the pain. That is something that has to happen in their head, organically. So long as she's still thinking about the ex, she's not thinking about you. Are you sure you want to do that to yourself?
I would offer friendship to that person, but nothing more until they're really over it.

A full relationship with a person who is not fully over their last relationship can be a recipe for disaster, including a host of insecurities, buried anger etc etc.
heart(not the physical one) cannot be broken but the consciousness can be broken as a result of the broken relationship. ignorance deceives the consciousness.
Anyway listen to them first as it will be a good relief for them. Search for a strong pressure point of his life to get him realized the disadvantage of being a broken hearted.
Depends on how patient you are, but if someone is telling you their heart is still broken after a long period of time, it´s almost like telling you they are not interested in developing a new relationship with you
I wouldnt touch that with a ten foot pole. This person needs to heal and get their act together BEFORE even thinking about another relationship. The fact that they still havent gotten over a relationship "YEARS" later is also a HUGE red flag. Unless you want to be a rebound for an emotionally unbalanced person, I suggest you give this one a pass.
