Okay, this is one i hear too often. When a boyfriend or girlfriend splits up with their partener, how soon is too soon to, uhm, move on??? past experiences have said that no less than a month, other say no less that 2 days.
on the other hand, how soon is too soon if your partener dies? ive had a recent experience of someone getting with someone after their wife had died 3 months after the funeral, personally for me, this is far too soon!
Oppinions please???

In my opinion, it depends solely on the individual. We all grieve in our own ways and some longer than others. Time heals wounds and if one feels like they are ready to get out and meet other people, just for socialization that's a great start. We as people make our own rules there is no rule for your love life that others can set for you. You make your own rules and live by them. What makes you happy is what makes you happy.

The time gap highly depends on the persons in concern, whether they wanted to get out of the relationship because they didn't like being with each other, or whether some problems existed which forced them to separate even they wanted to be together, basically lots of such things. So I guess we really can't say and that it depends on the person and the actual seriousness of the relationship that was formed in the first place.

I think it depends on how long the couple was together, how serious the relationship was, and how fast the individual can let go/move on. I don't think there is a specific set time frame for anyone. Someone could have a slow recovery in their first relationship, but maybe their second relationship will have a speedy recovery. There are so many factors in deciding when it's time.

i thin k it depends on the person, some people grieve longer than others and its just easier for them to move on.
