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!
Your sarcasm is out of place here, whereas I am trying to reassure the OP that there is basically nothing abnormal about taking longer than "3 months" to get over a relationship. I do believe that is relevant. Not sure where the 24 yrs comes from....
After they have finished partying this numbness could wear off and it could well impact on them then, that is normal, even if it is longer than 3 months, but they will get over it and move on eventually.
IIN that after a three year relationship, I already feel over it?

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.
