I have broken up with my boyfriend for over a month now but the pain is still very real
Studies suggest that people start to feel better around three months post-breakup. One study found it takes three months and 11 days before the average person feels ready to date again after a major breakup. Another study, which evaluated 155 undergraduates who’d been through breakups in the last six months, also found that 71 percent start to feel significantly better around the 11-week mark, or around three months.
People recover from grief at different paces, for one. You also might need more time to recover from certain relationships, particularly those that lasted longer or felt more meaningful to you. You may always carry some memory of your loss. That’s normal, too. But you will heal, in time.
