Just that really? How many weeks/months did you spend crying/moping and any tips to come out of the other side. Did you just randomly have a lightbulb moment which helped you move on?

It's been three years and I think although I'm now over the heartbreak aspect of it that I will always love and miss him.

Literally no time at all for anyone UNTIL the last guy I dated - he has properly screwed me up and I'm 18 months and counting.

29 years and counting.

I didn't cry and mope so much as feel a bit angry and kept running over the ridiculous level of pain all of it caused for about a year. I think I was maybe more upset due to a miscarriage and his lack of care thereafter than previous relationships. I won't be having a relationship with a man again, so I suppose people might say it still affects me, but it's a cumulative of all of the twatty men over 30 odd years. You can't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result.

ExH - about ten minutes. I did all my grieving during the marriage.

First BF after the marriage - I was sad and shouldn't have been in a relationship for a good two years.

It all depends.

About a month. I did take steps to deal with my emotions post breakup right away though. I had 6 sessions of counselling and I worked through Conscious Uncoupling book independently on top of that. I still very occasionally get teary but I was pretty much in full on acceptance after the first month.
