Hello there.

Get you a snack, beverage and find a cozy spot to sit. I want you to be as comfortable as possible.

Lets get three important things out of the way...





When will I finally be free of this pain? How can I speed up the process? The truth is, you can't. And despite the title of this thread, there isn't an exact amount of time. However, I do have a simple timetable that I have come up with that may be of use to you. It isn't an exact science, but if it helps you to see a light at the end of that dark tunnel I've done my job.



Can you feel that happiness? Is it within your grasp or is it too far away?
Try to remember how you felt before you got into the relationship. When you were a little bit younger, a little bit naive perhaps, maybe there was a slight spring in your step. Did you laugh easily and smile often?
Hold onto that feeling for a few seconds...
Now you have a goal. You want to get back to that person. I have something to tell you. You will never be that person again. I know that sounds a bit maudlin, but it is a good thing. You will be happy again. You will even get back on that proverbial Lit-lationship horse. But guess what else? You will be:



Are you still with me? Good.

I've broken it down into four simple categories:
DAYS:
For every day you were in the relationship, it will take you an hour to move on.
WEEKS:
For every week you were in the relationship, it will take you a day to move on.
MONTHS:
For every month you were in the relationship, it will take you a week to move on.
YEARS:
For every year you were in the relationship, it will take you a month to move on.
I encourage you to share what you feel comfortable sharing. Comment about how you got over your break-up. Commiserate with your fellow Litster.
Let's help each other get through this. We can do it.
