oannamarie Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 For all of you who have been through a divorce or seperation, how long does it take for the pain to go away and move on? Link to post Share on other sites
Naive Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I think it varies from person to person. It also depends on how long you were together. Maybe I forget or let go faster than you or vice versa. Link to post Share on other sites
Author oannamarie Posted September 28, 2004 Author Share Posted September 28, 2004 Thanks. I was just looking for a general answer from everyone. We have been together for 12 years and married for 7. Link to post Share on other sites
Cloudy Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Well, if he left you then it will be longer for you to get over it than him. I know the nausea and knot in my stomach didn't go away for about 2 weeks...but I was on a see-saw because he kept giving me mixed signals of possibly coming back to work it out. He eventually did come back and now I'm trying to get him to completely lose contact with the other woman. (they're still "friends") I know how you feel...hang in there....it's so cliche but the pain doesn't last forever and it's mind over body...just keep your thoughts on moving on and get yourself used to the idea of being single by putting a positive spin on it in your head. If you think you guys have a chance...don't lose total hope, I didn't and he ended up coming back. My separation was rather quick though...He was gone for 2 wks with the other woman and then decided he couldn't be happy with out me. a week later he moved back in. Now we're trying to get back to normal...which is hard because she's still lingering around. I'm working on that though. Good luck...the hurt doesn't "go away" it just gets old and after a while you don't even feel it anymore. Link to post Share on other sites

I was divorced in 1992 after 6 years of marriage. It took me over 2 years to reach the point of talking to women, much less having any interest in dating again. Some 12 years after the fact, & over 8 years into a 2nd marriage, I still occasionally struggle with those issues. Fortunately my wife is rather understanding, or at least enough so. _______________________________ What if people stopped throwing rice at weddings, and threw potatoes instead?
