Depends on the person.  Some people can brush of feelings like turning off a lightswitch.  Other people can't.  Work through your emotions but make sure you get out and meet new people and move on with your life.  Don't get hung up on what might have been.  It's nice to think It would have been nice if... but thinking too much, dwelling on it too much only consumes yourself with doubt and fears that you will never find something like it again.

I was in love for 10 years and I'm 39 years old. I found love again but it took me awile. you will find love again if you do the following. first and the hardest you must let go of your former lover. I understand you are a widow but try not to think, talk and dream about him all the time. he's gone and he is in a better place and I'm sure he want's to see you happy again. do not compare,be open minded.take your time do not rush into anything.do not judge the person on the first date or two you may not be able to find out who that person really is. people tend to ack and be not them selfs when trying to impressed.and never ever sleep with him to soon, make him respect you first.

I met a lady on line and finally met her. She was about 10 years older than me and we both knew we didn't want to get serious, just have fun. We had a great secret and private relationship for about 4 years before she started to have physical problems.\n\nThose are 4 years, though that I will never forget. Unlike women my age, this lady really appreciated me and made me feel good. I went out of my way to appreciate her too. Sometimes I wish I could find somebody to take her place, but at least I can dream about her.\n\nTX Guy

This will depend on the nature of your relationship with this person, and how your feelings truly were for them.\n\nIt could take a couple of weeks, or decades to truly feeled healed and moved on, especially if this person has hurt you.\n\nSome people I've gotten over in a matter of weeks. But others (actually just one person, my first love), I still think about.

There isn't a way to "Cure" a broken heart.  Time is the only thing that mends it.  I've tried everything and I can tell you that ONLY time will work. \n\n However, there are things that you can do during this time that will make it mend stronger.  Get involved with your friends again.  I know that you left them behind to be with that girl.  So start going out with them.  Have some fun and go out to eat and then a movie.  Go on an adventure like rafting or go help a charity.  \n\nPutting other things higher on the list than that girl will help you mend stronger.  The more things that you have on your mind besides her, the better things will be.

not as sad as being 33 and having been in love once...got your heart broke in so many pieces, only to feel you cant pick up the pieces anymore.  and you give up on love...it was only a dream, a beautiful dream that I couldnt be a part of.\n\nso honey, dont settle, coz perhaps like me, you'll only get one chance, so make it worth it.

well first of all find your weekness. and work on that and become strong.., good things come to those who wait. I was in a 2 yr relashionship.. and i healed. time does heal all things. Life does get better. tell you the truth.. you'll go with other relashionships.. you just wont last long.. because when that happens.., you start to not want long relashionships since.. the last one failed. Just find things that occupy your time.. and Think about someone that would actually be with you., and Not walk away.. without any feelings at all. you two just werent meant to be.. think of it that way.. that way got me.. keep searching for that one.. even if you dont right away.. I promice you all the same. youll find her. alot of times. if you dont look, she will find you. and i sense that she dumped you.., if she had any heart at all.. She wouldnt have done that. think about that Too. one day you will get over it. i did.

how does it feel to be heartbroken? Well, it depends on how deeply you tresured something with the person who broke your heart. for me, it felt like HELL. But i got over it after about 1 and 1/2 year. when a broken heart will be healed depends on your own pace. Frankly speaking, i don't believe the guy said. it's too unspecific and invalid. that's like telling who you can be with and you can't be with. if i were in your place, i wouldn't think that he's doing me a great favor. But nevertheless it shows he doesn't like you. Learn to move on.= )

ummmm heart transplant takes roughly 15 hours. \n\nnaw look I know your hurting and that's pretty normal. 3 years is a long time to spend with someone for it to fall to floor. Not all guys are like that but sadly some are. \n\nIf your out of this relationship that's good because you deserve better. take some time and know that this was none of your fault then slowly pick up whats left of your broken heart and move on. but always keep in mind those things you have learned so not to follow your past. best of luck.

No one could answer that but you! There are some who are able to recover in just weeks. Other takes longer time. The secret is diverting your attention to other matters. These may be engaging in sports, engaging in a new hobby, going out with friends, finding someone to replace your lost partner or anything that can take your mind off your failed relationship. There is no reason for you to grieve, you must move on, because life goes on. Live life to the fullest.

The general rule of thumb is that when a relationship breaks up, it takes half the amount of the duration of the relationship to get over it. IOW, if it was a 10-year relationship, it can take up to 5 years to get over it.\n\nAs far as infidelity goes, it depends upon whether you are planning to continue in the relationship or not and whether or not your husband is willing to participate in healing the marriage.\n\nSome good resources for recovery from infidelity and rebuilding the marriage are:\n\nhttp://www.marriagebuilders.com/\n\nhttp://www.divorcebusting.com/\n\nA good book for recovering from an ended relationship is Letting Go by Tracy Cabot and Zev Wanderer. Following the steps in the book reduces your recovery time to 12 weeks. i used this during my divorce, and it really helped.\n\nBeing on the receiving end of the betrayal of adultery is the worst pain i've ever felt in my life, so i know how you are feeling. An excellent description from another betrayed spouse is that it feels like someone took a floor sander to your chest. :(\n\nThough i divorced my 1st husband, that was such a horrible experience that when my 2nd husband also ended up cheating on me, i chose to try to save the marriage instead.\n\ni am now 4+ years out from D-day (Discovery Day), and doing much better. It is no longer a daily pain. Even when i purposely focus on it (as in cases like this), it doesn't have the power to hurt me anymore.\n\nYou can recover and feel good again. It will take some time, but actively pursuing recovery will enable you to feel better sooner.

It is difficult I know.  Been there and done that and its not much fun.  You just have to be patient.  Find someone else to share some time with. Someone out there is worthy of your love and efforts.  Time heals all wounds and this is going to take some time.  In the meantime while your wounds are healing, find a hobby, join a gym, or take a evening class, anything to get you out of your blues.  Mingle with others and find someone else that you like and before long it will be easier for you to think about her and not be upset.  It wont be easy, but you will be ok and you will be a stronger person in the long run from all of this.  Yes a closure would be a nice thing to have but some people dont like confrontations or goodbyes.  Dont beat yourself up over it.  Learn from it and consider it a chapter in your life and start working on a new chapter.  Good Luck!!  And yes, this is normal feelings when you get dumped or something doesnt seem to have ended as it is "suppose to".  Lots of unanswered questions still in your head, rehashing over and over.  Best thing to do is go on with your life and cherish the memories you had and concentrate on making new ones.  Old saying is "when one door closes, another one opens".  Dont be so into your sadness that you miss an opportunity.

When I was 16 (I'm 19 now) I was madly in love with a guy from school. He broke my heart, and I was so devestated. I was insanely depressed for 3 weeks and after 2 months appeared happy but I was still so miserable inside. I was obsessed. I couldn't stop thinking about him for even a SECOND. I spent a year of my life with him on my mind, 24/7. Sometimes I'd wake up in the night and not be able to go back to sleep because his memory was so painful and I couldn't get him off my mind. Even when the pain of losing him was gone a few months later, I still felt anger about the situation.\n\nYou want to know when everything disapeared? 2 1/2 years later while at work, I looked to my right and the most gorgeous guy walked in the room. At that moment, my ex's memory disapeared. My mind returned to normal. I fell in love again.\n\nUntil something of that nature happens to you, start going out with friends. Surround yourself with people. Keep yourself busy AT ALL times. TRY to not think about her (even though I know how impossible it can be). Eventually, time will heal your pain.
