How long does it take to get over a 2 year relationship? Is there any relative code or theory to go by?

(If you are bored and scanning random yahoo questions to answer, please take the time to read and give me some advice. I’m young and do not have any non-bias help. It may or not be boring to YOU, but my life needs to get back to normal and any help you can give is very appreciated. You’re just surfing the web anyways right? :D )
My ex and I started dated summer between sophomore and junior year of high school. We had a few fights early on, but grew on each other and after 6 months or so everything was great. After about a year and a half we started getting upset at each other pretty often. Of course once we hit college, things got a little complicated. I wanted to take a job in California for the summer but she said a long distance relationship couldn’t work, even for just 3 months. I went anyways. Two weeks into the break up, a girl from high school called me telling me she was in LA for the week. Being depressed and lonely as I was, I willingly drove to LA and fulfilled the “booty-call”. Ex calls me a week later crying, she doesn’t want the break up anymore. Being the dumb ass that I am I chose to omit LA endeavor, as to not ruin this second chance. I ended up flying her to California for a visit and everything seemed to be going perfect. After the summer job I fly home and we start our Freshman year of college. Couple months down the road, good ol’ booty call buddy spills her guts to several girls from high school, and of course I get my ass dumped from out of the blue. I admit my guilt, accept the break up, and attempt to apologize, after all I did lie about it. About two or three weeks later it’s christmas break and the ex once again decides she can’t handle the break up and this time I am a bit more reluctant. Not because I wasn’t crazy about her, because I was/am, but because I knew if I told her about EVERYTHING I did during my drunken rampage over the last few weeks she would want nothing to do with me. We sat down and made a plan. She was going to mexico for 2 weeks with her family, and I was going on a road trip back to LA to rescue my broke ass best friend. During this time we would be social, see how its like not communicating with each other, and be ready for a new beginning on the day we both got back. Well, she flew in 10 hours before I got back from California. She threw a party at her apartment the night she got back, and called me telling me to hurry up so we could kick everyone else out and rape me. Sadly she must have gotten too drunk and passed out by the time i got there around 3 am, as the door was locked and her phone was off. No biggy, I crash at my place, waking up the next day to a text from the Ex’s best friend: “omg Jon your super girlfriend fucked one of your best friends last night.”
Of course I check for confirmation from at least 3 other eye witnesses that were at the party before i exploded with anger. Gather every thing that had to do with her in my entire apartment, her clothes, clothes she bought me, all photos, and all items that remotely reminded me of her, took them to her apartment in a giant box and left it on her doorstep with a note: :keep these or burn these just don’t ever talk to me again”. Next I drove to my exbestfriends house and used my wedge on his truck windows.
So its over right? Any sane person would agree… right? I must be going insane. I take 6 months for myself. After almost 3 years of seeing each other 6/7 days of the week or more, I went 6 straight months without seeing her once. During that time I heard all sorts of excuses and apologies, and finally forgave both the ex and the friend. I best of all know what it’s like to black out and bang someone random. Advice i received from friends of course never varied from “Bro!! now you can drink and bone whoever every day!”. Not so encouraging since I couldn’t even talk to another girl without wishing it was the ex and thought about her at least 10 times a day. I tried sobriety, f*** buddies, a month of solid work and school, and anything and everything i could think of to keep my mind off of her. Didn’t work. I still HATED talking to girls. For whatever reason I just couldn’t find a single stimulating conversation with any of them. So, it again was time for change.
July of this year I unregistered for all of my classes, quit my job, and moved my ass to Texas where I am now. I even came with one of my best friends and a girl that I had been dating. She realized after a month that I didn’t want a REAL relationship with her and that I brought her so I could get laid without having to meet any new girls. Needless to say she’s back home now. Also, I started talking with the Ex again, just as text friends, but i could not stop wishing we were back together. She changed schools and got a new football player boyfriend.. awesome.

Okay, if you have stuck through this boring story I applaud you and now I have the real problem for you. She texts me yesterday “I

Breaking Up Advice – All Relationships Have a Time Limit


This is my story about how I lost love and that day was one of the worst in my life.
If you have lost love, then you may want to listen to my story and find consolation and maybe some good breaking up advice.

Relationships have a time span – some last for ever. Well, there are not so many of them!
Others can be quite short and they have a sell by date and sometimes they have already gone past their sell by date! It is true though that as we advance in years, relationships tend to have a more permanent air about them. You can count on the fingers of one hand how many great loves you will have in your life – usually it is just ONE.

All the others will be seasonal, a bit like autumn leaves or spring buds. So, when I say I lost love, I know that some relationships will end and I can accept it. That is one of the basics of relationship psychology.

This is what happened to me. My girlfriend and I were thinking of living together as she was practically homeless so the plan was to share my apartment.This was no big deal as we were practically living there anyway. Also we could have shared the rent.

But was I ready to take on this commitment – were things getting serious? And that was where the relationship came to a crossroads because I could not face the oncoming traffic. There was no point in a relationship rescue as I felt that the relationship had arrived at the terminal station

Partly because I was a bit uptight about all this, I went to a friend’s party and things got a bit wild! My girlfriend heard about what had happened and she just dumped me. I lost love because of one wild night.

But looking back at this now in the cold light of day, I realise that my behaviour was a sort of protest against living together with my girlfriend. I was just not ready at all. If I had really wanted to share everything with her, I guess I would never have behaved like that.

Afterward, I suffered quite a bit though and then started asking myself a lot of questions about why we broke up and even sought some breaking up advice from a few friends.I can assure you that I didn’t want it to end like that at all, because we had great fun together and we could have gone on seeing each other, although I do realize she was not the love of my life.

Understanding something about relationship psychology as I do now, I see that it could have gone on like that indefinitely but she wanted a lot more than I could have given her and so, I lost love.

Where can I get relationship advice and opinions besides here?

Every time I ask a question here I only get like 1-3 answers. I feel like there are a lot of people asking but not enough answering. Is there another website where I can go?
