When will I get over my breakup?

Heartbreak is a universal experience, but we know little about how to get over it.

Search β€œHow long does it take to get over a break-up?” and you’ll find answers ranging from three weeks to three-and-a-half years. Despite heartbreak being one of the most universal human experiences, we know very little about whatβ€”and how LONGβ€”it takes to get over someone. On the mend from a breakup herself, Mona set out to find a number while enlisting help from a psychology professor, her relationship counselor, andΒ yesβ€”her Mum. We’ll find that much like relationships themselves, the answer here is a little … complicated.Β
