How long does it take to get over a long term break up?

When looking at the timeline of breakups, lots of sites refer to a “study” thats actually a poll conducted by a market research company on behalf of Yelp. The results of the poll suggest it takes an average of about 3.5 months to heal, while recovering after divorce might take closer to 1.5 years, if not longer.

Why I cant get over someone I never dated?

Sometimes a reason that you have a hard time getting over someone that you never really dated is because you dont give yourself permission to grieve them. People that we never “date” can still have a significant effect on us. You dont need a label or a long time to develop strong feelings for someone.
