LOL. You make it sound as though 5 months is a long time.
I consider myself to be a pretty rational, self-controlled woman, but 5 months would be a pretty short time for me to get over someone I felt very strongly for.
I think I was very very depressed at some point. I was miserable 24/7 at times, so of course, 5 months seem like a lot to me. When you want to be free from crying, being mad, hurting, feeling miseranble but you can't, you feel trapped. It's hell on earth especially knowing the other person probably doesn't care and you're left with all the pain. 5 months is a lot. It's half a year for heaven's sake.
That said, although I did recover after 5 months, it took me a bit longer to start dating again not because I still had feelings for him, but because I wasn't ready to put my heart on the line.

It's a long time when you're going through it, the opposite of time flying when you're having fun. But a few years later, no, it doesn't seem like a lot.

My last serious relationship ended six months ago tomorrow. I was just getting to the point where I could reach out and be a friend, as he claims to be going through some health problems. But then he reminded me of what a weasel he could be, being just communicative enough to remind you that he's there and get attention for himself, but nothing real or warm.
That's when it occurred to me: I don't care what happens to him. I don't wish him ill, but I don't care if he's sick or there's something wrong with him, either. I don't know if he's still with the chick he started dating a couple of months after our relationship ended, but if so, he's her problem now, and she can schlep the hour out from where she lives to deal with him.
I'm only going to be in the area for another year, so now it's time to go out and have some fun. I'll worry about establishing a real relationship after I move. So between being on the lookout for a transitional man and not giving a crap what happens to my ex, I know I'm over it.
