The period of time is different for everyone. We all have our moments of good and bad times, and just when you think you're doing fine, something comes along to remind us of "what might have been", and we're almost back to square one. This is perfectly normal, so allow yourself to cry when you need to, and allow happiness to flow when it does. I tend to grieve in stages. I download the most sappy sad love songs, and force myself to listen and cry. After I've cried as many tears as I can, I add different songs, with a little different sound to them, and gradually change them, until I'm feeling better. Trust me, there is a song for every hurt, occasion, and drama. You'll know when you are doing better, and I honestly think you are on the right path to recovery, especially about not seeking out a new relationship. Allow yourself to fully heal and let go, before you get involved with someone else. Best of luck to you, and don't give up hope.

It is different with everyone. It all depends on your mind, and some people hold on to years for something they will never have again and torture themselves about it. Also, the fact that you feel bad enough about letting go to ask this proves that you're a good person. So, dont beat yourself up for it. Continue with your life and do what you have to do.

Sometimes one person has moved on emotionally before the other person even knows there has been a breakup. If you aren't angry, if you don't want the other person to feel bad, if you don't want them to miss you and regret the break-up -- you are right, you have moved on. Does it matter if it took you more or less time that the statistically average person, someone who does not actually exist?

If you aren’t angry, if you don’t want the other person to feel bad, if you don’t want them to miss you and regret the break-up — you are right, you have moved on. Does it matter if it took you more or less time that the statistically average person, someone who does not actually exist?

But, I will warn you to be very careful about forming new relationships at this time...there is a huge danger of transferring the love you had for the former to a new person, and the love will not be real. Stay single until you know what you are doing. Don't rebound and hop into a new relationship..you run the danger of really hurting someone who has no idea that your feelings are not real.

Some are ready to move on after a month, some wait six months, others immediately jump into another relationship...and a few never find one and are happy stalking their EX the rest of whenever(or until arrested!!)
