How long does it take to fall out of love with someone yuo've been with for years?

We were together for almost 3 years and I finally decided to end it last week. But I miss him and still think of him alot but I know that I don't want to take him back at this point. How do you get over love or how long does it take??How long does it take to fall out of love with someone yuo've been with for years?
If you really loved each other, you may never get totally over it. But, every week, and every month it will get a little be easier.





I was with my first boyfriend from the time we were 15 until I was 24. For a while after we broke up, I thought I was going to die. My heart was literally broken.





But, eventually life went on. Even now, 10 years later, sometimes I miss him. But, time has healed the wounds. Now I am able to look back at the good times and know he will always have a special place in my heart.How long does it take to fall out of love with someone yuo've been with for years?
At about 8 months If you stick to your guns and start your life anew, you will start to see the light at the end of the tunnel.


The trick to this is easy but it is hard. You must mean it to yourself and not allow any room for error because every time


you let the door open even a crack you are right back where you started from
Once in love you'll probably always care to some degree or another; but, time really is the healer. As for how much time that is dependent upon each individual. Quite often it occurs when another person waltzes into your life unexpectedly. I recommend filling up your time with work and lots of activities and being surrounded by friends therefore giving yourself less time to have your mind wander to him.
sometimes you never get over someone, it just takes time to adjust
Wow been there,I'm 24 and my first and only relationship was two and a half years ago,and since then I have been single, it's like you sort of feel stuck, and let down so much that you can't seem to move, as in getting up and enjoying life without that person you never imagined would be just a memory. I still feel hurt sometimes but it's only because I gave all of me,and to think I have to start over is terrifying, I can't tell you how long it takes but,forgiveness on the other hand if you have been done wrong takes that person just saying they hurt you and they're sorry and meaning it. Good luck
It depends for some its quick and for others it takes ages..it usually depends on the individual, the longer you allow yourself to hurt the longer you will be attached to him emotionally.
it's very normal to have that reaction to a break up. this happens to me all the time! don't worry you're not alone :) to fall out of love which can be extremely hard, is to pray (if you're a christian!!) for God to help you let him go, stop thinking about him and whenever you do, immediately stop. it'll be tough but you can do it!! good luck!
been 3 years now


and i'm still hung up on her


it's gotten in the way of dating new people


but i was once with a woman for 10 years


and it only took 1 1/2 years to find happiness again
Be honest with yourself - 3 years makes this a habit; like quitting smoking or losing weight. You probably don't miss him....While it is hard to get over someone you have cared deeply about, you may be feeling lethargic or lazy...you've made your decision (I presume for good reasons, after that length of time), so stick to it, get over it; move on.
