How long would you have another relationship after breaking up with somebody whom you think you really love. Was it weeks, months and years? Me...? Before I met my husband It was 1 year and 3 months, to say yes to my husband.

i think it's not a matter of time. i mean you could have years and years pass but if you still hold on to your past it will be really hard for you to love again. i guess it's the letting go part that's difficult but once you've accepted things already then you can move forward. i don't believe in rebound relationships so it's good that you took your time to really assess things before you said yes to your husband.

It really depends, we have to prepared if we really don't want to suffer the things we experienced from the past. Learning from it, makes us understand more about relationship and would give us a good knowledge in handling future relations. Loving another person can be easier said than done, but we have to make sure that what we feel is right and sincere.

i can say its really hard to love again if you really fell hard from your previous love. since the feelings will not fade easily and you'll keep on comparing the new one you'll meet to your old love.

well as a counselor, my advice is let the wound be healed first before you enter another relationship so that you will not be jeopardising the other person's feeling. and you are ready to accept the other person as who he/she is and what he/she can do to make you feel love, and how he/she express the feelings for you, otherwise you just get him/her as a rebound.

it took about a year or 2 to fall in love again....for breaking up and falling out of love is not ane easy process....if you love someone and you broke up, a certain part of you is carried by that person..for you have given your love,and falling in love with another does not heal the pain..

It took me many years, I think six years before I got a new boyfriend and now my husband. I have suitors in that six years but I just treated them as friends. I have enjoyed my being single in that year.

yes, one would find it difficult to say yes to another relationship after a bitter break up but if you meet the true lover you can't resist it coz the pull from both are stronger than the single mind to say no. At first you say no but later you regret it and finally has to give in for the other who comes with no bad or dubious intention will continue despite all odds that you put up with and you'll give it in. i'm yet to meet my dream come true.

it really depends on the person if he/she is ready to commit again. all i can say is maybe, a person already has moved on once he/she is ready to commit to another person. and i think you only forget your last relationship if you give others a chance to see and you only fall out of love of a person once you started to like somebody else. isn't that right? =) well me... well, it was only 1 month after my breakup with my ex. in my case, i just realized that i have fallen out of love with my ex because i entertained by current boyfriend in my life.

It took me more than two years to say yes to my wife. I was so heartbroken after the relationship for it was my first time in love. I just couldn't forget it. It was a bitter experience...

hii, for me after I broke up with my boyfriend I will try to find somebody who is interesting me, maybe just his face, attitude or his style if he ask me to make a relationship I will except it. because for me is good to get a new boyfriend after you break out with somebody, it helps me to get through the life, even my heart is still with my old boyfriend, but I never playing around it is real relationship. what I mean is I never take a long to start new relationship after I broke up with somebody. when I broke up with my old boyfriend which I love him so much It tooks me 2 years to find somebody that I love more than I love my old boyfriend which is already my husband now. but I had 2 relationship between broke up with my old boyfriend and met my husband.
