Unfortunately, there is no “universal expiry date” for lovesickness. Everyone is different, just as every love or relationship is too. There are various aspects that can play a role in how long it takes to stop feeling lovesick. Therefore, it individually depends on factors such as how much time you used to spend with your ex-partner, or whether you still have contact with them.

However, in many cases it may take an average of 6 to 24 months for the symptoms to subside, until you will eventually be feeling that you are standing with both feet firmly on the ground again.
