Break Ups...

Let's call Girl as G and Boy as B. They were in a satisfied, happy relationship together. Seemed as though they had everything they wanted or would want.
But then one day, something happened. 2 possible scenarios exist:

Mutual break-up : This is probably the best scenario in case of a split. I mean, both are hurting and both will be able to help the other person move along. Not easy, I agree, but slightly better than being separate and having to deal with it on your own.

G/B dumps B/G : OK. Reasons for this are secondary (not immaterial, but then my post isn't about the reasons. It's about the repercussions). One of the two is terribly crushed. If the reason had been because one cheated on the other, then the one doing the dumping (Dumper) will take some time to heal ( come on. They were in a relationship together.. Some emotions and feelings will still be there, albeit for a choot ); but they will heal eventually as they will realise that they were dating a complete loser.
The Dumped (if also a cheater) will feel like shit and should..

However, if the Dumped is dumped because of other reasons, then the process will take more time. I'm not talking about moving on and getting into another relationship; but am talking about completely getting over the Dumper : getting rid of the anger, the bitterness, the resentment, the questions that keep popping up, the twinge of sadness (all of this even if they do get into another relationship)...
The Dumper, on the other hand had reasons. So he/she won't take that long to get over the 'ex'. However, it will pinch for a while that things didn't work out. But that won't last for too long.

Now, I'm not saying that the Dumper is an insensitive, cold hearted person. All I'm saying is because they had a reason, they'll find it easier to move on.

Do girls find it easier to move on? Or vice versa? Frankly, I do not know. Some people I've spoken to say it doesn't matter, as long as you want to move on, you will. But some are of the opinion that girls find it easier to move on, they find it easier to start checking out other guys, and probably go out on dates with them. I somehow do not agree with this. A girl is just as human as the guy. Even she takes time to heal. Probably, because girls find it easier to talk to friends about issues (and I mean, anything and everything under the sun) they move on sooner than the guy, who keeps most of it inside him (as they consider it 'gay' to discuss your feelings and emotions with another guy).

Break ups are shitty. But you have to move on. It does not make sense to think that you should take "this much of time" before getting into another relationship (or think of getting into one) as people will talk shit about you. For all you know, they might already do. So why do you give a shit? As long as you're happy (or become happy), you really shouldn't care about what others think.
