I admire people who has sweet relationship, and they are in heaven I believe. But not all relationship works out the way according to people's expectation. Some relationship eventually fall apart, since two people no longer love each other. A year ago, a good friend of mine split up with his wife, and he certainly not the one who propose to do so. He was hurt definitely, and it almost take him 6 months to recover from this trauma. If you are victim of a failed relationship, how fast do you think you can pick yourself up, and to be wasted any more time on fancy expectation?

It actually depends...I was badly hurt with my previous relationship. But I was able to move on thanks to my boyfriend now. As soon as I met him, he made me forget about my past...

I am glad you can meet someone of your love. So, you can totally forgo the past. It is a good thing you find someone really appreciate your existence.

Hello Kingparker, My last relationship was 10 years. It broke up now 1 1/2 half ago. I tried dating did not work so I took break from September on last year. I am going on meet and great this Sunday the first one for a long while. We see how it goes. I do not have any expectations on this person. Just takeing my time and making sure this erson is good fite for me. I thinks it depends how long you were in the relationship and what the issue was that you broke up over how quickly a person can recover and there are the rebounds which I am doing my best to aviod. It could take 6 months to 1 year for a guy longer for a female because of our emotions and nuturing ways. I think for us it takes a minumum 2 years to recover fully etc... I know some people never recover fully from a divorce or very bad break up etc... Thanks and have a great day Sincerely Unique16

its not at all an easy job to pick yourself up after you fail in a relationship.you feel completely shattered and battered and think that you have nothing left in your life but it will be for maybe the first week or so and then slowly you will start behaving normally and feel normal.that one week will be very difficult to cross

More than one year. To fix a broken heart is a very difficult thing to do. Fail in a relationship is one of the hardest part of my life, because this gives me many question. If i'm in a relationship, i always try to give the best thing i can do for my couple, but why there is always something unexpected come between us and destroy our relation.

I am scared of being hurt and terrified of hurting someone. This is why I think relationships (no matter of their length) should contain no expectation. This way it is safe and fun and you can protect your heart. Eventually you later discover that this is the right relationship for you and you may take it to the next level. However, if you are not satisfied you can move on to the next person without any harmed pride or bad feelings!

That is one thing that is really difficult to do. The first thing is picking up oneself and that is the thing that no one is good at or at least no one would want to do. I have gone through a fall in my relationship which I cared the most and the experience was a really harsh one. The was that no one was aware of my relationship at my house and all that I had to do, I was alone. I had to manage all that myself. The reason was that my family was rather too a fundamentalist type and I was sure they would not approve of this relationship of mine. That is why I did not disclose the matter to anyone at my home. Who knew all this was only my mother and one of my sisters who did not oppose me. But when things went horribly wrong, I was alone at the receiving end. Nevertheless, I had these two ladies by my side. But did not have the guts to tell them what all had happened. The reason was not that I was afraid or was backing off, but the real reason was that, I cared for my mother and dear sister and did not want to hurt them. They would have got a shock had I revaled them about my breakup. So, all I was to myself. Nevertheless, the time was a harsh one and it took ages to come to terms with the real life.

hi! i have never experience to have a failed relationship. my first boyfriend is my husband now so i never experience another relationship. i am lucky though i do not have the perfect relationship coz nothing is perfect anyways. but i believe this will last a lifetime and thorugh God's help we can go through all the problems and other future trials that will test our marriage. i do not how can i face a failed relationship but i just know that God will always guide us and teach us the right way to recovery and eventually the strength to move forward in our life. there are things that simply couldn't fit with each other so let it be, even it will cause you pain. everything happens for a reason. so trust God.
