How SOON can you forget someone?

Well, time heals all things (except for chicken pox scars.lol). But if you find the very right person for you, then you sure can move on.

Time is relative, maybe two weeks from now you don't think of someone at all, maybe years go by, and then maybe for no reason at all, they are stuck like mud in your brain

I guess it really depends on one's personality. I guess someone can move on, not saying easily or she/he can totally forget, but I suppose she/he chose to move on in her/his life, instead of just staying in the past. Even for those who can't let go easily, I believe there are ways to help too. I understand 12 years is a long period, but it's always said there aren't many 12 years in our life, if we continue to stay in the past, we might miss more 12 years in our life. Get friends, get help, get motivation to move on. Of course, it takes time and effort to do so.

It's not easy to forget a person with whom one may stayed for 12 years. It's a long time period in which you may have become habitual to live with that person. I don't know how you may forget that person but you will have to do it to move on in life

I think a year would be long enough for you to move on with your life.

It varies depending on the kind of attachment we develop. If the relationship was very superficial and casual then within no time we can move on. If relationship involved lots of commitment then no time can be enough to wipe away all those memories. Since you have mentioned about forgetting the person then my answer is you can never forget him or her. Yes, you can forgive for all the wrongs which were done in the relationship and move forward. Forgetting is difficult, but forgiving brings lightness.

For me a year is a very short time to forget someone especially someone I have been with for 12 years. You might be hurting less after a year but not yet forgotten. Some people even say that it might take a person half the time they have been with someone to completely get over them.

That's too long not to be serious in a relationship it is not easy to forget if being in this situation.

They say that the moving on stage is longer than the time you're in relationship with. :D Some says, it is double the time you spent together with, so let's say you spend 12 years together, so your moving on stage will take place for about 24 years :D hahahahaha well, not the case all the time. It as well depends on the person. The intensity of his/her affection and love for you. It may take a day, a week, a month, a year or two, no one can really tell except time. You don't know what awaits you in the future, thus it is something that cannot be determined.

Yes, I can move on easily especially if I will think how jerk he is and all the negative description I neglected years ago. Although at early stage of moving on I really find it difficult. You know, love is an emotion and since it is an emotion you need to feed it so it will flourish beautifully and you can kill it too.
