I dated a guy for 4 years and it took me almost the same time to get over him. It was doomed from the start, though.

Probably a little over a year. I got over her as soon as I met the love of my life.

If I saw her face to face today, I would thank her for ending our relationship. That's no lie.

Funny how that works.

I don't want to say but it takes me a reeeeeeally long time, embarrassingly long but once I'm over them I'm over them. No turning back then.

I don't count days nor months, but if I had to guess, 4-6 months. There's no point crying over spilt milk once its over, I say. I have no space to rent in my mind, thinking about an ex.

I might have the most strangest "getting over" story.

Married three years to a woman who I loved very very much but treated me like crap all the time. Very little intimacy and she said that physical affection wasn't her thing (thanks for telling me after we got married!). She came from a home where her dad never hugged her. She had depression issues, we fought a bit, and it was over. I decided to end our marriage and it killed me to do so initially, but I was over it in a day, it felt like complete relief.

I had to meet her a year later and I admittedly still cared about her, and she personally told me already had a boyfriend a mere 2 months after our divorce was finalized. I felt so much indescribable pain that day - like this shot of warm adrenaline surged through my body. I almost wanted to vomit. When someone says that to you, and you react that way, that's when you know you REALLY love that person.

This was 5 months ago. I suspect they are getting married soon since her new guy is Facebook friends with her entire family.

I've slept with two women this summer. It didn't speed up the recovery process, at ALL.

I've got a long ways to go.

34 years and counting. Once in a lifetime, someone special comes along that you will just never forget or get over.
I've been happily married for many years now, but there was this one girl I went with for 2 years back in high school. After all these years I've never been able to completley shake her. It comes and goes, but it's always there waiting to pop back up. I would have liked to have seen what we could have done together. I guess you never really do forget your first love.

I'm usually okay after a month or two.

I pined for the love of my life for over 30 years. What ended it was the notification of her death...it was an utter waste of real estate in my mind- I do not suggest it to anyone.
