Longest for me has been years, even though the relationship only lasted a few months. I'm still not over it, even though I have dated other guys since.
Were those guys "better" than the ex who broke my heart? Well, they didn't break my heart, so that is better. But I don't think comparing relationships is about wondering if your current partner is better than any other. Better-suited, yes, but better, no.
That's what I mean by "better".
More comparable, better communication, less strain...
I've been out of my most recent relationship since the middle of February, and I'm struggling every day to move on. I'm a bit exhausted at this point. He went on deployment and decided to shut me out after a while, so the ending pretty much crushed me.
At this point, I'm almost afraid the pain won't ever go away. Not a great feeling.

I know how you feel...
My relationship ended in February too and I'm still a mess.
Yesterday I tried something different though, I meditated for an hour and I felt better than I did all week. The anxiety lessens, your thoughts aren't as cloudy, and your heart rate regulates.
Meditation is extremely powerful. My mother has met people who were cured of terminal illnesses, PTSD, and depression using meditation as a tool to heal.
You realize your thoughts are just that, they're thoughts.

It can take a long time, sometimes, maybe even a year. At some point, you'll find yourself noticing women you like and it will start to distract you away. Just keep meditating till then. It really is ok.
Replacing someone isn't the same as getting over someone. The longer it takes, the more they meant to you.
I've "replaced" my ex a couple of times, and I still think about her all the time. It's only been less than a yr tho'........... I don't mind the exquisite pain of missing someone.

It does distract me, but it frustrates me because I can't find the courage to talk to them. At the same time all my friends are taken or are moving on with their lives somewhere else. I have no network to meet women, and it doesn't help that I have social anxiety.
When my wife and I broke up, I was miserable for maybe three days. After realizing that I was alone again (and FREE), I was bouncing back in about a week. The marriage did have a lot of drama!
Within five months, I was dating again. I'd broken up with an old girlfriend maybe 8-9 years prior; we'd stayed in contact. Now we're seeing each other again off and on. I've been dating, but not quite ready for steady...not yet.

That's exactly why i'm scared to date right now. I feel like if I date someone i'll realize how great my ex really was. It might put me in a place worst than where I am now.
