after my H and OP broke up it took him about 2mths for him to deal with the heartache, this is a ROUGH stimate. After he came back to me he sent her a 60$ bouquet for her bday and still tried to contact her (acording to him, to see why she was so mad at him, she broke it off badly and told him many reasons why she hated his guts)
He came back to me beginning of April, by June he still kept her messages on his phone and a big old box of stuff about her (that's how I found out the PA stuff )
It's Sept. now and a few days ago he tells me how he doesn't want to remember anything about the A, how he'd give anything so that the A wouldnt' have happen, how his mind can't stop thinking it didnt' have to happen. How with time he is starting to see what kind of person he was, how he used him then dumped him. We all have different time lines, just sharing mine.
