How long do the stages of a breakup last?
When I say stage I mean that when you break up with someone you go through different emotional stages. E.g. there's the stage where you feel sad, the stage where you start to feel like you 'hate' them, the stage where you aren't sad or angry anymore but still think about them and then the stage where you start to forget about them. How long does each stage last, from your own personal experiences.
We went out for about six months so I realize its not too long of a time but I am still fairly upset over it.
Also if you have any helpful advice about getting over a break up that would be great as well :). Much appreciated!

When I broke up with my boyfriend last April my best friend told me it usually takes the amount of time you dated times 2 to be over them. I dated him for 4 months, so it would've been 8 months until I got over him. And that's about right.
Girls usually go through the sad stage first, which is what I recommend you do. I didn't go through the sad stage until a lot later, so I was sitting there wondering why in the world I still cared about him when we'd broken up so long ago.
As for the order of stages I think it's different for everyone.
