How long does it take to get over someone you love?

I have been in a relationship for the past year and a bit with a bipolar woman but has recently ended due to me falling in love and her not feeling same way plus there were other men involved. What stages are involved in healing? How long does it take? It's been 2 and half months and although I'm feeling better I still have the urge to contact her but am controlling myself. At first it was horrible I was crying and everything and looking up bipolar on the internet to see if I i could understand itHow long does it take to get over someone you love?
In my experience you never really do get over someone you love. Instead you fall in love with someone else. I do not believe in one true love. There are many we can fall in love with but for different reasons. For me each time I have fallen in love has felt different but good each time. What you have to be careful of is not focusing on how you felt about a past love and trying to judge a new love based on an old love. Be open to a new love because it can be very different each time.How long does it take to get over someone you love?
for me, FOREVER..i still haven't gotten ovr him, but have in a way moved on to other guys (i got a bf)
Well, I was in a relationship for 9 months and I was engaged, I'm still not over him and its been almost 1 year...It all depends on what kind of person you are.
Ask her out and look at her in the eyes. When you cannot find any trace of love for you in that pair of eyes, you know you have to move on.





Only when you finally convinced yourself that there is no love, you have no chance to win her back, you feeling like a nuisance and fast becoming a joke, you will start to heal.





You must accept that you have to give her up altogether, only then you can be well again.
sorry to hear that take all the time you need
not all bi-polar people are like this..i still have morals and deep feelings..so i see a shrink and take meds..i dont consider myself less human..geeesh
Just accept that it's over,and find another to love.
Rough guesstimate: until you've been apart for longer then you were originally together, however long that may have been.





Falling in love with a better person will reduce that time, sulking and moping and spending every day dwelling on the past will increase it. But otherwise that's the standard rule of thumb- which I made up just now.





In your case- she never loved you, she was involved with other men, and she was mentally ill. What big plans for your wonderful future together did you have, anyway?
well it takes time to heal... alot of time. especially if it's someone that you've found to LOVE. do you know if she likes someone else? are you sure that she really doesn't love you back or loves you just as a friend? even though there were men involved, we're talking about love here. find a friend to talk to about it, it will really ease your pain.
its take as long as you need. dont rush into anything yr not ready for. i dont think that yr bipolar just the same as anyone else whos been hurt. everything yr feeling is quite normal.
Aw...I'm sorry Kev.... So been there.





First...you obviously know a lot about bp since you were dating a woman with it...but remember...bipolar is no excuse for other men etc in the relationship...nor would it cause her to not love you back.





The healing can take a lot longer than you want it too..and I know that sucks, but its true. You really loved this woman and I've always said...even if you split...true love isn't like a light switch...you can't flick it off and on...so it can take a very long time for those lingering feelings to pass...





Immerse yourself in life....friends...family... even casual dating (NOT causual sex preferably :):) Remind yourself of the things you loved to do before you got involved with this lady...and do them all...twice as often :)





It DOES get better, but we all heal in our own time...the deeper you've loved, the more it hurts and the longer it takes...but it WILLL happen. Find what makes you happy in life in meantime.





BEST of luck to you. Hang in there hun.
