That really depends on the depth of feelings in the relationship and the manner and reasons that you broke up. I took 3 years to get over one relationship, and I was the one that broke it up.
I can't believe you sat and cried for 3 years!! I'd have suggested you go out and meet someone new to take your mind off him.
I actually know a woman whose husband left her 24 years ago for another woman, she never dated anyone else and would still take him back. Move on Mrs!!
And in fact I started seeing someone else about 7 months later, but there was no love and my heart was broken. I continued to suffer bouts of depression for 3 years as a direct result of the break up. I had a good public face, don't get me wrong.
Anyway this was a long time ago, but I suggest you don't put timescales on peoples emotions, it doesn't work that way and just sounds patronising.
Statistics on how long it takes to get over a relationship...how the hell is that measured? And quoting statistics as a fact for such an ambiguous and emotional subject does sound patronising as does stating: "Move on Mrs".
Have you ever heard of research? The type which involves questioning hundreds of people in a survey to ask how long it took them to get over a relationship? That's how they get statistics!
Now I am being patronising coz you are adding sweet f**k all to the OP, and obviously crave attention.
Any poor woman who can't move on after 24 years needs a good stern talking to. Obviously, people around her have been enablers and pandered to her, so allowing her to waste her life.
Now I certainly feel superior to you, so go away and allow people to answer the OP, you're boring me!
IIN that after a three year relationship, I already feel over it?

Apparently it normally only taks 3 months to get over a relationship. Party for 3 months, then you'll be ok.

I didn't cry solidly for 3 years! lol.
And in fact I started seeing someone else about 7 months later, but there was no love and my heart was broken. I continued to suffer bouts of depression for 3 years as a direct result of the break up. I had a good public face, don't get me wrong.

I only quoted statistics so I don't know how you find that patronising.
