Moving on

Moving on is usually very hard especially after a very painful break up from someone you truly loved. Sometimes it also depends on how willing you are to already let go and move on. How long does it usually take you to move on after a break up? For me it usually takes a long time. It takes me months to completely move on. It is hard to forget and let go of something that means a lot to you especially when you already got used to living life with this person. It seems like everyday is incomplete without this person. But sometimes no matter how long it takes we have to eventually move on to meet better people more deserving of our love.

that depends on how willing you are to make the move of moving on. for me, it happened once. it was not really us who caused the break up. it was his mom. she definitely hate me because i'm a filipino and they are chinese. cultural indifferences is the word for that. i had a hard time moving but it didn't take me that long. i guess i spent a week crying, and after that i'm ok. i just have to let go of all the memories we shared and mailed to his mother everything that he gave me. she was surprised to have it,,lol!! i can say that i am fully recovered and definitely has moved on after two months. see??? it's fast though. moving on depends on your willingness too. if you're willing to move on, make sure that you won't be clinging on to any memory that you both shared. hope this helped.

It also takes me a long time to move on from a failed relationship, actually it takes years for me. I recently broke up with my boyfriend of three years because he got another girl pregnant. I'm still very depressed and have been crying myself to sleep this past two weeks already. We havent really talked about it yet. He called but I didnt want to talk to him. I badly want to move on but I dont know how. Do you have the same experience as I have?

depends on how long we're together for. If it's some month long relationship i'd probably be upset for a moment but that's it. For like the relationship im in now..if we were to break up..it would probably take me a while to move on...it would also depend one why we broke up..There are lots of factors that go into the healing/movin on process.

moving on is painful and tough. especially when there were true feelings that were not returned to you. now you have to figure out how to live or survive without this other person. how to factor in you probally wont speak anymore. there will be alot of lonely nights after the breakup. thoughts of just driving by there house to see if there home. and if there not wht are they doing and who are they with. you never forget you just eventually find out how to live with out them

It varies. It took me two years to move on completely from my second to last ex, that love was probably the hardest on me than any of the others. My last one only took me around two months. I don't forget, ever...but carrying on with my life, I usually feel like a ounded creature for awhile. But time heals, even if some wounds never really go away...they become easier to manage after awhile.

I cried the pain first. After all my tars are gone, I pick up the broken pieces and makes myself whole again. The healing process is not really easy. But if we are willing, then it will happen the soonest we least expect it.

moving on is really hard thing to do. i have no such experience. I had never been to any relationship. still at times we face similar situation. i think we must be strong enough to move.

Moving is never, and will never be easy. It would be hard to accept the hurts and the pains, it would even take a long time just before you can accept that things are not meant to be, and the love that you gave is not enough to make things work. Maybe it will take time to pick up the pieces of your life, of yourself, of everything. Letting go of something that you have and loved is not easy, and it is even more difficult to let go of the person, of the memories, of everything that you had when you are together. Different phases of recovery will take place just before you can really let go. But I believe that if you gave your very best to make things work between you and your partner, when you know that there is nothing more that you can give... then letting go and moving on would be a little easier. In the process, trying to be strong, pretending that I'm ok even the pain inside you is so painful and is really tearing me inside. I will cry a river and embrace pain no matter how much it hurts. Beacuse I know that it will make me stronger in the process. It will take a long time for me to regain myself but I know I would regain it somehow. The important thing is I have loved and been loved... and somewhere in time been happy with someone that I loved.

Moving is not that easy,accepting the hurts and the pains,accepting that the love you gave did not work out. Maybe it will take time to pick up the pieces of your life that you had been in the pass. Letting is not that easy,and forgetting memories spending,sharinglife together. Itwasn't easy to expect,and nothing happens after trying everything to work out. And the saddest thing is your partner did not feel the worth of your love.Trying to be strong,pretending that your smiling even you know that the pain inside you is so painful. It will take a long time for me to regain myself,to carry on what is left to me. I'll go somewhere and just be alone by myself. To heal the wound,to think of myself now,and go on. It will take me time,months or years it's up to me.To fall in love again I think it will be hard,and unfair for someone again. It's untel then...It's very easy to say a month,but it will still up to me to amend my broken heart,and forget what had happened. Have a nice day!

These are the eternal relationships of both the partner. Even it is difficult to part with a pet you have for years together. These sacred relations in which both the partners sacrifice every thing for each other and having a feeling of oneness how painful could be the break only one can realize. This is life friend even if it break one has to move on with the things how sad it may be. For me it is difficult to imagine even of that and how hell the life could be. You can say only the wearer knows where the shoe pinches. Have a nice day and comment.

For me,I think it is a matter of habit. In this world,we can live without anyone,it is always not true if we say we cannot live without someone special in our life. For me,after I broke up with my ex,I took few months to enjoy my single life before a new guy has came into my life again. Maybe I am more selfish in relationship matter,I always find ones who loves me more than I love him to make me keep moving on.

I am silly person when it comes to moving on. I talk to myself like this 'its fine if you cry a lot just do it because it is normal, it will take you maybe for couple of months but after that you'll be fine again and that pain will slowly go. He is not the right man for you so don't think to much about him". Its crazy but thats how I calm myself to be able to move on. It takes year though before I can completely recover from it.

It depends on the people and the situation some people can just move on and others take for ever, time is the only healer and it will take time but break ups can be got over.

One of the most difficult things a person can endure is the loss of a relationship. Even though it can be the hardest thing in the world to do, you have to let them go. For your own sake, as well as theirs, let go and move on. How do you deal with the sadness? Keep busy, watch movies, hang-out with friends, read books, etc. Concentrate on what you have rather than what you've lost. And remember that love will come around again. The sooner you move on, the sooner you'll find real, lasting love you deserve.
