How long did it take others to stop feeling this way?
Greetings. My dBPDxw and I were together 7 years total. When she left we stayed in contact on and off for a few months (she moved away) and mostly because she was scared and lonely. Once she began a new romantic relationship however, I received a really nasty and quite disgusting email. Instead of hurting me more, it made me realize it was good the relationship was done.
Overall, it took me about a year to really seem grounded and not dwell on what she "might be doing". As with any long-term relationship, it does take time.
In the end we each do what we need for ourselves. bpdfamily.com helps us with the realization that we were in a dysfunctional relationship, that had moments of good and a lot of bad. How we process all this information and how long it takes, is really a personal thing. Whatever works for you in helping you to regain your life, is really what matters.
Peace to you
