Well! I'd say, it doesn't really matter whether or not your MEN or a WOMEN when it comes to accepting what you don't have anymore and moving forward is rather hard thing to do especially the ones who LOVE WITH ALL THEY'VE GOT AND MORE. Those are the ones who will be having a hard time moving forward. So to answer your question of how long does it take, It doesn't matter. Don't you think? Or do you have another agenda for asking this question?
