I’m going to stand out for my answer because I’m at least going to word things differently than most other people have so far.
Once you truly love someone, if things end badly – no mutual agreement that things aren’t working out, someone cheated, or any other kind of tragic event – you won’t get over it, especially if you’re generally a very emotional person to begin with. No… The memories will always be there and the loss of what could have been will always hurt. What you will learn to do though, is cope with the loss. And in my mind there is a big difference between “getting over” and “coping”.
Depending on how deeply you loved this person, you will have good and bad days. After a while, there may be a day or two where you manage, somehow, not to think of the person at all, but one way or another the memories will come back.
Even years later, you may have a very bad day where everything comes flooding back and it seems like yesterday that things ended. The pain will eventually subside somewhat though, and your coping skills will increase little by little.
To truly get over it is a sign that it wasn’t something worth remembering in the first place. And generally… As much pain as there may have been in connection to the relationship, loving someone is never all bad, so take comfort in the fact that what you felt, feel and will continue to feel was something truly genuine, which is very rare.
If you ever want to talk, for any reason, you can always message me. I wish you the best of luck.
