This is a subject we actually went over in one of my group dynamics classes. Basicly we decided that the time that a person needs to recover both emotionaly and physically from a relationship is roughly 1/2 the legnth of the relationship itself. Eg: 2 year relationship, you'll need about a year to recover.
Why so long?
If you think about it, it makes sense. You just put 2 years of your life out for this person. You invested time, money and emotion....among other things into this person. you cant expect to just end it and all that investment just come back to you. even if the relationship ends on good terms, you'll still be emotionally closed off for quite awhile. that's why "rebound" relationsips never work. but..it's 2am and i could just be hazed..heh.
