It took me a long time to get over my first love...I was still getting over it when other relationships by the wayside and I wasn't bothered by them the way that one relationship bothered me. Even though it seemed as if I'd recovered quickly, the sting and hurt lingered on for some months after the final break (this taught me to end it quickly, however, versus letting a bad relationship rule you).
The upshot of breaking up is that my dad would always send me some money to "go have fun with" in order to take my mind off of everything. Never really worked, but it never really hurt either.
