I had a complete mental breakdown, and my mother took away my pain killers and muscle relaxers i had for my back injury. Think thats extreme? More bad things have happend in the past two years than ever before, and this girl helped me to cope with a lot of problems. We had been through a lot together, and i love her with all my heart and soul, but now i dont think i can bring myself to ever be with her again. How long does it take a broken heart to heal?

I'm really sorry to hear about that, DA. I still remember the pain when I discovered my ex-wife had betrayed my trust in her.

How long does it take to overcome that pain? It depends on the individual and the circumstances. When my ex told me she wasn't willing to work on the marriage, it was like a switch turned off inside me and I had no more feelings for her. She became dead to me. The anger of the betrayal took a few months (we had been married for 13 years), but I am civil towards her, just as I would be any person off the street.

When she recently remarried, I didn't care at all about her. My only concern was still getting my share of time with the boys. Once that was worked out, nothing else mattered.
