How long does it take to get over an ex?

I'm wondering how long it takes to get over your ex. How long was your relationship and how long did it take for you to get over him/her?
My 9 1/2 month relationship just ended and I feel like I'm never getting over it.

Depends on the person and if you really care about them, honestly.

I was in an on and off relationship for a year and a half on and off through high school and college and its been three years and my ex still hasn't gotten over me, he checks up on me, he's friends with my mom on Facebook, etc.

I got dumped recently after only dating someone for a little under a month for no reason and was ridiculously sad. I didn't even want to go out of the house for almost a week.

My relationship before that lasted about a year on and off through college and it was a mutual break so there wasn't any hard feelings.

Like I said, it varies. But you'll get over it eventually.

It's been 4 months since I was dumped by my boyfriend of one year and I seriously thought I would NEVER get over him. I was always thinking about him, our relationship, always crying about it, getting super pissed whenever I saw him, etc. Now I don't think about him at all anymore, and when I run into him I don't feel anything. It just sorta happened over time, I guess it just happened without me noticing.
I think it depends on the depth of your relationship, and the kind of person you are. Some people hold grudges for ages or just can't handle breakups as well, and some people have positive attitudes and move on more quickly.
I think spending more time with your girl friends, deleting him from Facebook and other social media sites, and not contacting him at all whatsoever will help speed up the process. That's what helped me

It depends let go of the old him and don't have hope no matter how hard you cry its better then setting yourself up for damage!
