what's the longest period of time you've been broken hearted...?
 

I am going on about 6 months now... I still haven't gotten over my ex.
Damn how can this be possible.

:(

im sorry to hear that but sometimes it can take awhile . it will go away one day soon:thumbsup

I'm still not over my ex... but i'm seeing a new guy...
is that weird??

took about 2 years to get over my ex.

It can take a long time for things like that but the ONLY way you'll do it is if you MOVE ON... force yourself.. just change your routine, go to the theatre, try new food, go kayak or something..... make new memories that make you happy on your own and that don't remind you of things you can easily dwell on.

Don't let someone else control your mind.. cuz that's whats happening when you get all sad and in a rut... just say

*snap NEXT!

here is my stupid theory on this, i believe u will never get over it. but u build new relationships and eventually the old relationship loses its meaning and the new one takes hold. its kinda the same as when your pet dies, u dont get over it, but u eventually decide u are ready to get a new dog.

my longest was about 6 months. :(

about 1.5 years, its very hard..
you will be fine when you get a new love :Graucho

good luck, you will need it.

2 years

well damn... this thread is depressing!

2 weeks

I went about 7 months, saw her tonight for the first time since our breakup 7 months ago. Felt good though. Settled a bunch of things that went unspoken and going to give it all another try slowly hopefully this doesn't turn out worse than before.

good luck! hope things work out for the best :)

I get heartbroken way too easily and unfortunately it usually puts me in a slump emotionally. On the plus side, when I'm in this state, I usually do very well on the business side of things. It would be great to find a balance in between.

A couple of years, and it still hurts.

i have never had my heart broken...

The only thing I havn't gotten over is the fact that my ex has changed me into a miserable person. Before her I was on top of the world, stand up comedian, loved to make people laugh. Still do but I find it much much harder. Havn't been myself going on roughly a year.

I wish you the best though, there are plenty of fish in the sea :)

two years. a relationship dying is like a person dying - if you put a lot into it, there's a lot of processing and grief involved when it ends.

but you DO get over it. i'm going on 6 years in a very happy relationship now.

well said :thumbsup

Damn, some of you have been living with extreme pain for a very long time.
Even life threatening diseases don't compare to the pain of a broken heart.

To everyone with a broken heart, I am truly sorry.

2 years of just being broken hearted while IN a relationship, crazy times.

20 minutes?

been there, know exactly what you mean dude.

I didn't want to marry until I was at least 60 yrs. old, but it only ended up being a few months.

the longest was 4 freken years, he was my first love that's why plus i dunno how to handle my broken heart yet on that time

About 1.5 year. Then never again.

:thumbsup

You NEVER REALLY get over a true love/loss.Although time does soften the blow thoughts of a true love lost will last a lifetime imo.More so if you have children together.
Find/Appreciate what you have...strive for more than you have in the present...and find someone who you would like...and the person who would like to share in your search.Most importantly...find you BEST FRIEND!
ALL things for a reason!

7 months and counting

Is it too soon to hit on you? :winkwink:

ufffff i have 1 year & 4 months!! this is a nightmare!! i really want wake up rite now! :(

wot da hell he did 2 me?? :helpme

I have been aching for someone for two years. I see him again for the first time since then on Monday.

It won't be the same but right now it is just good to know he is in my life.

0 days

Took me about 4-6 months, but shortly after accepting it and getting ready to move on, we got back together :1orglaugh

Over ten years. Still upset that my divorce deprived me of being a full time father to my son. :(

Damn!..... your not wasting no time are you girl?

it isnt like that....he is my best friend other than Marc but he has been in New Zealand for two years. He is flying back to comfort me. Monday is my Birthday and i don't want to be alone. So, that is the day he will arrive. Broken hearts don't just come from romances.


Also, I had an open marriage but no one will ever, ever fill the place in my heart and soul that Marc did.

Sarah, you don't need to explain your actions to anyone here..
Congratz on your Bday next week.

On the topic:
It once took me 1.5 years before I started looking for something else again... The breakup was so painfull and sudden that It was hard to comprehend it was really over..
Oh yeah, and sex with your ex doesn't make things better...

I see... my apologies. I hope you have a great birthday.

LOL :Graucho

about 24 hours once...

The only broken heart I have ever suffered lasted about 5 or 6 months, and now we're good friends that can talk about anything. It just takes a while sometimes. I just feel fortunate that I've only suffered one, and the breakup was mutual, we just didn't need to be together. Good Luck, keep your head up and your self confidence will rise with it. :thumbsup

xoxo,

Candice :)
