A recent study by Jia Y. Chong and R. Chris Fraley examined the duration it takes to emotionally detach from an ex-partner. Conducted with 328 volunteers, the results indicate that emotional bonds typically take about 4.18 years to diminish significantly, with complete dissolution occurring around 8 years for most individuals. The research highlights the complexities involved in overcoming attachments post-breakup, considering variations based on the length of relationships and individual circumstances. The findings provide insight into the emotional recovery process and its enduring impacts.
