Does anyone know what is considered a resonable amount of time to "mourn" a past relationship.  I know all relationships are not created equal and some you get over before you even get out.  However, some can end on fairly good notes and the reason for it ended can get blurred I guess.  Any advice on how to make life easier to live afterwards?

I suppose it all depends on the person, on the relation, on how was the seperation and on WHY was there a seperation. I can assure you I would mourn less if he cheated then if we just had relationship issues.

Absolutely Smurfy

I haven't been in any lasting relationships so that must be why I don't mourn for long.  I am usually ok by the next day.  It has been awhile....... so how are you feeling now?

Who has been Naughty?

When my marriage of 20 years ended (with him cheating) I was devasted.  For almost a year I was a basket case.  I have sinced moved on and married again and am very happy.  It took me nearly 10 years to get over the pain of it though.  One moment I hated him then poof just gone, it was the strangest thing ever.  Very liberating.

Well it has been 3 months and still feel like it was just yesterday.  I feel rather pathetic at most times.  I pray for that liberating moment and hope it doesn't take 10 years!!
