How long do you think it takes someone to move on.

It seems people either jump into a new relationship straight away or they moon over the ex for YEARS. I think it depends on you as a person. My ex husband and I have been done for a year and he's still not over me. And we were only together 1.5 yrs. And i've certainly never given him a reason for him to not move on. So what do you think? For a year ,under a year and for over 2+ years? I don't think there is a "time limit" per se BUT if its been a year or under i think 6 mths max. After that the dumped person needs to be getting it together and moving on. Anything over 5 yrs i think there is no time limit at all.

My marriage sucked. I've been seperated for 4.5 years. I still miss him. I still think of the what ifs. And I ended our marriage! ;(

Depends on the person and the type of relationship that we had.

I can honestly say that if my husband left me, I wouldn't get over it...ever.  We've known one another since we were 14, we were best friends and actually I realized my true feelings for him when I almost lost him as a friend.  The thought of not having him in my life (when he was just my best friend) broke my heart, I can't imagine what it would be like now that we are married.

I don't think there is a certain time limit on it

It apparently was something more to him. There is no set amount of time for someone to get past a relationship. Having said that, unless you have kids or by some miracle you become good friends afterwards, there is no reason to call, stop by, or send the ex anything anymore once the divorce is finalized or ended. You gave up the "what if" when you signed the papers. No need to stalk anyone.

Ohh that's terrible. The what if's can drive you crazy. I was like that with my first boyfriend.

A week? Lol. :P
I get over someone rather quickly.

Days, weeks, months maybe even years.

Depends on the situation & you

I become attached to people quickly. Doesn't matter if you are my 78 yr old patient, the 2 year old I babysit or my guy. Takes me a long time.
