Hoodie has sent me this Sauce. In your estimation? How
long does it take to get over a breakup?

Speaker 3 (00:23):
I guess it depends on how long it is, but.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Let's say a year.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
I'd say you can start resuming your life after a month.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Okay, there's that you subscribe to the thought a year
or a month for each year?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Yeah, because even like, uh yeah, I feel like you
gotta give yourself some time to like be savage. Then
you gotta also give your self time to start piecing
back together. I always feel like i'd give myself at
least a month, but I haven't been with anybody you know,
quite some time. Maybe maybe I'm wrong, I Rose, how
about you?

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I would probably say like a month or two if
it's a year, Yeah, a month or two is I
feel like fine?

Speaker 2 (00:59):
I think that's fair. So whod he sent me this.
They did study University of Washington. This say could take
three months to feel better. Yeah, self esteem may take
one year to recover, yes, and then four years until
they're just someone you used to know. I think that
to me seems yeah, that's I've never had four years
after a breakup.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Usually it's in a couple of months of like it's
a distant memory, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
It depends on how like are you guys on contact?
Are they talking? That's uh, because I start the breakup
grieving process when I cut everything off, when we're done
with the whole, like, okay, so this is seriously over. Okay,
I got myself okay, and then once I get my
stuff back, if I left anything there, then that's when
I start.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah. So a study from University of Illinois found for
the average person takes four point one years for the
attachment bonds to fade away.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
What that's coming. That's a long time.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
I guess it's like if the most small thing reminds
you of them, maybe that's kind of like when when
those things stop popping up. Maybe that's probably fair, I
guess would love your thoughts over text nine ninety three
