I was in a relationship for two years. I was very happy in our relationship, but unfortunately she didn't feel the same. Long story short, she broke up with me. I have no negative feelings towards her, in fact, i am still very much in love with her and can't stop thinking about her. It's been a few weeks, we haven't spoken since and i have to imagine she has no plans of staying in contact. Probably for the best.
My question would be, how long does it generally take for someone in my situation to move on? This was my first relationship to last over a year and probably the first real love of my life. Will i ever fall out of love with her, how long until i'm able to look at another woman in a romantic way?
am in the same situation
so first of all huge hugs
I think of him all day all night
everyday every night
it hurts
does it not
sometime we cannot contact a former lover
it just is too painful
to even communicate at all...
you seem younger
trust me it is not your last
we have many loves in our lives
some great some long...some short
but there will be a woman
a lovely woman who will make you laugh
and then you will look at her
and FEEL again
when...well it takes time
but it will happen
and though you may not forget this lady
you will love again
I am 100 percent sure
Piggy backing on Nikki - allowing the grief to run its course now will make (a) the recovery shorter - usually and (b) make your relationship stronger as you've buried the past.
Hiding from the hurt with a rebound may sound fun - and can be - but the pain intensifies.
Thank you guys so much, these words are really encouraging. It's been a little over a month now, and i think i'm dealing with my emotions a little better, and i'm trying to keep as busy as possible to keep my mind off of things. I'm expecting this to take a while and i have no plans to start dating again for some time. Thank you guys again, all of your advice means a lot
First of all, I’m sorry to hear about your breakup.
Edit: Sorry, I change my mind on what I wanted to say...
