No, it just puts them off for a later date.  Sometimes people THINK that it fixes problems because the two people remember their warm and fuzzy feelings for each other while they are apart.  They will then cover over or dismiss the problems and get back together.  Eventually though, the same problems will come up again, often worse because the suppressed feelings over the unresolved problem the first time will come up as well, causing the person to be even more upset, angry, etc.\n\nTalking and working through problems is the only way to solve them.

No, I don't long for her, but I sometimes think it was just a shame that it had to end. Now, I have someone I love who loves me back and I wish my ex happiness. I think it's good to move on and not dwell in the past and long for what is gone. So, I really didn't suffer a "lost opportunity at love" - I HAVE it now!

I feel the same way. My boyfriend broke up me last week and I just can get over it. They don't have an effect on it because they probably didn't love us like we love them and we gave them to much of our love. U love him and that's why u can't get over him. Try 2 be friends with him and I know that might be a hard to do.Just pray on it God will bring someone in your life that will appreciate you like u want 2 be appreciate.

Everybody gets broken-up with at that young age.  Its a part of life.  What doesn't kill you will make you stronger.  Good luck.

No. That's only considering yourself and some (probably temporary) emotions.\n\nAsk anyone who has had a successful relationship (>15 years) and they will tell you there were times when they were not satisfied with each other. When they worked through it and waited it out, they found it was just like a passing storm.\n\nIf you break or injure this relationship it will not get any easier for you. Even with the 'perfect' partner it will be almost unmanageably diffucult at times.\n\nBy bailing out each time it gets difficult you are dooming yourself to a life of constantly moving around and never being satisfied.\n\nThey will also tell you that any relationship requires both to actively work on building the relationship and that in the end it's worth it.

If you were really in love with them, and you cared for them deeply, I don't think you ever "GET OVER" them.  What a lot of people don't do is to take time out for themselves.  When you break-up with someone after being in a long-term relationship, you really need to take time to heal before you move on to another person because you can't give your whole heart to him/her fully because that other person is holding a part of it.  How long it takes....Well that depends on you.  You have to ask yourself "How long am I going to allow this person to hold my heart?"  Take time, Heal, enjoy being single, and when you feel no presence of the other person then you are over them.  Of course when you see them with some one else for a split second, you will go back there but if you do and when you are able to say, well good for them then you are definitely over them.  I hope this helped because I've been where you are and that is what I did.  Take care and be HAPPY!!!

They absolutely do get better.  The hard part is believing you will feel better and not knowing exactly how long it will take.  It can be easier to move on, for some people, if they break all contact. Believe that better days are on the way for you.

I think we grieve over relationships that die just as we would for people who die.  There are certain steps you go through before it's resolved emotionally.  Denial, anger, grief and acceptance.\n\nNo matter what someone tells you to do you're going to do certain things at each stage and only realizing the next or final stage will get you over it.  To lessen the emotional pain have a good support group you can call at the drop of a hat to talk to.  Reach out to friends and family for support.\n\nRemember though, don't let yourself dwell on it.  Try to get on with life.  Take up new hobbies, join new clubs/societies.  Do the things you couldn't do because the ex didn't want to do them.  Try to embrace the change instead of fighting it.

Nope, breaking up means it's over.

My god!  That's a hard question.  I've broken up with people i've really liked.  Quite a few people i've really liked.  It's not gonna be easy, but you will feel better for it.  What you need to do is think about why you want to and find a good reason to do it.  Then tell him/her, and ask what they think.

Well I am guessing you mean after you get back together.\n\nIf you are only broken up for a little while and are not serious with anyone else during the brake then usually no. Unless they specify that they want to "start over" in that case yes.\n\nIf you break up for a long while and find someone else and get serious with them then decide that you want to get back together with the other person... that is usually concidered starting over. So in that case you would change it.\n\nOnly change it after talk to the other person first. You don't want to get confused.

Yes, emotions really run rampant after a divorce. I even contemplated killing myself after mine. It just takes time to get back into a comfortable groove. Just give yourself time. Spoil yourself!

I think its different for each person and it all depends on what steps you take to get over that person..\n\nI think this may be ridiculous, but I've heard that it takes you roughly half the time you were with (or in love with) the person to get over them... not sure how valid that theory is though

Most rebound relationships don't last very long.  The reason for that is because in most cases, the guy still has feelings for the girl he just broke up with.  And vice versa, of course.  It's great to have a shoulder to cry on, someone who really cares, but when you've just left someone, especially if you have/had feelings for them, it takes a while before you can really move on.  I learned that the hard way.  Twice.  :)

The main thing I would do is get my mind aff that subject. If you r always thinking about the break-up, then you will always be moping around. I recommend doing something physical like swimming or jogging etc. You could also paint or hang out with friends. Do you know someone who usually always makes you laugh? Hang out with that person. Try to be as happy as possible. Good luck!
