So I question, how do we know when it is time to move on. Is there a written set of time that is given to get over a person? Is there a rule to how long we should wait before we start dating again? I really do wonder. I mean, yes I did just get out of a almost two year relationship, but is that supposed to stop me from dating again? Am I not supposed to have a heart and think about another guy right now? I think it is human to take the time to heal but also, I think it is human to be able to have feelings and date again. It is funny that once you become single, the doors of opportunity open and you meet guys who have the attributes that is missing from the ex. It is refreshing to know that I am not in the wrong and that my values are important. I know that people say that the person after the breakup will be "rebound." How sad is that to think that the person could be a rebound and that person knows it too. But what if they are not. Then it is amazing and great to know that you could be loved again.
So I do ask, is there a specified time to spend grieving a hurtful relationship? When can the next phase in my life start moving on?
Well, on another note, I am happier and being out of that relationship has allowed me to be happy. No more fights. No more arguments.
