I recently broke up with my first girlfriend, it was a pretty short relationship.. like 2/3 months. Its been like a month since it happened but i still think about her heaps.. and its starting to take its toll on me. Im asking you guys this because she broke up with me so she could get back with HER ex; it was always a problem in our relationship, they kinda clung onto each other stayed friends and shit.. that pissed me off a bit but i thought it was "normal"? But then i find out she gets back with him as soon as we break up.

Now im in the same postion.. i still like her but i don't know if i want to be friends with her. Its shit like i dont want to cling on to her (i.e stay friends) because id be a hypocrite if i did; i didnt like her ex hanging around so i dont think i should do the same as he did.

How long does it take for you to get your ex out of your system?? Is it worth staying friends?

average: 1 year

The question was how long it took to get over a 2-3 month relationship. If it takes you 6-12 months to get over it, I think someone needs to man the fuck up.

hook up and find a rebound
it seriously works...
rebounds are THE WORST sort of relationships!

trying to be friends with your ex, espically since she's used and hurt you like this, isnt a good idea either. just spend time with your mates, do things to take your mind off it, vent if you want to...eventually, you'll get over her

Look to sex and the city for the rules of dating :)

>> it takes half the amount of time you were dating to get completely over them :)

I think ive given advice on this sort of thing before. It went something like thi:

Sleep with her best friend. Then her sister. Then her mother. If you can, take pictures and send them to her :D

revenge is awesome for curing depressions, so is getting balls deep in some slut. combine the two and you have win.

Eight months for me?

Jesus that's harsh. Pretty sure there's no maths involved with this crap.

You are a sick cunt and a half. Thanks champ.

She basically cheated on me.. so i really don't think i have any incentive to keep in touch with her, not just the fact that she cheated on me but the fact that she did it, and is continuing to hide the truth from me thinking i don't know about it. No apologies. No explanations. Why would i want to be mates with some untrustworthy cheat? Bitch, you gotta earn the right to be on my friends list :D

Really appreciate the responses, this place is a great vent.. didn't know there were that many people with the same past situations

I think alot of the trying to 'get over' your ex has to do with the fact that you're single now, a little uncomfortable because you're thrown back out there and have to work harder for it again.

And it's thoughts like this which make you maybe not so much miss your ex, but miss being in a relationship..

I haven't been dumped yet so.. I can't really speak from that perspective..

well the standard formula for getting over someone is y = x + (2x)^2

x = 3 months

so substitute that into the 'getting over' formula and you get:

y (days) = 3 + (2 x 3)^2

= 3 + 6^2

= 3 + 36

= 39.

It will take you 39 days to get over her.
