Research Says How Long It Takes to Get Over a Break-Up
Published at
ABC News(NEW YORK) — They say time heals all wounds, but what kind of time are they actually talking about? When it comes to getting over a break-up, new research is now suggesting there could be a time limit on your suffering.
A new study in the Journal of Positive Psychology suggests the magic amount of time to get over a break-up is about three months.
Researchers found 71 percent of people reported that it took them 11 weeks before they could see the positive aspect of the breakup.
And, it’s not longer for people who get dumped rather than those who do the dumping — researchers say the time frame is about the same for both.
