Ultimately, everyone is different, and no two people will be affected in the same way. But, yes, my experience has been that the saying "time heals all wounds" is pretty dead on. You just have to let your brain re-equilibrate its chemicals. That's really what it comes down to. Good luck, though. I feel ya. Hey, thanks for stopping by.

Yeah, I think the problem is that a lot of times, we say we're trying to be mature by staying friends. And we might even convince ourselves that's what we're doing. But, deep down, we're still secretly hoping that they'll take us back. And cutting off ties would be admitting that we really are ready to move on. I think I had to "learn" this four or five times before I finally got it. ;-) Hey, thanks! Yeah, I think the problem is that a lot of times, we say we’re trying to be mature by staying friends.

I had always thought that the "friends" avenue was the noble thing to do, and it has always led to further heartbreak. Now I realize that its alright to cut ties for a certain amount of time. I like that you tie in facts with emotions. Thanks :) I really enjoy all of the articles you’ve written, but this one is very helpful!

You'll never be friends. You'll be in love 'til it kills you both. You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other 'til it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends. Real love isn't brains, children. It's blood. It's blood screaming inside you to work its will. I may be love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it." -"Lovers Walk" Yay neuroscience; this reminds me of a quote from BtVS:
