I have heard of people getting upset because of an ex getting over them too quickly. Is there a certain time limit you should wait before you start dating other people?

Everyone should wait. It could be two minutes. It could be twenty years. It could be never.

There is no hard and fast rule. So much depends on the type and length of relationship that died.

Breakups can be like the death of a partner - sometimes the grieving starts long before the final goodbye. This can make moving on look quick to others, but in reality not so much.

Who cares what an ex thinks? "Ex" means it's over. No more ties, no more claims to the person. Do what works for you. The ex is responsible for his/her own happiness, you aren't responsible for their happiness. You're responsible for yours. Life is to be enjoyed, not to be walked on eggshells through, for fear of offending someone in your past.

Each situation is different.

After a 2 month relationship, I'd move on rather quickly. ( a few weeks)

After a 2 yr relationship I would give myself more time ( a few months)

A marriage. (a year)

I don't think so. I think it depends on the breakup and what's best for you.

Whatever you do after your break up (with regards to dating) is absolutely none of EX's business.

So who cares how long you wait after you break up? As long as you are emotionally prepared for it, what they think is irrelevant. You broke up! They don't get a say anymore.
