Want to end that bad relationship but haven’t the time for heartache? 
You can do it. Here is our timescale for a healing heart: 
Within four hours: For the ladies, the tears start to finally slow down down, so it is time to mop up those panda eyes and ditch the Kleenex.
Guys, your desperate need to go and get hammered starts to feel a bit silly,
especially if it is still 11am.
Within 24 hours: The ability to get dressed and into the shower for a good wash increases. You still want to talk a lot about the relationship, and what went wrong so you may need your mates to get their listening ears on – and the drinks, or Ben & Jerry’s in.
Within three days: You no longer have to hide your phone from yourself or check your ex’s profile on Facebook and Twitter ten times an hour. You are finally getting some more sleep and no longer lie tossing and turning wondering if you should get back together and if you’ll ever meet someone again.
Within seven days: You are still hurting but you are also able to laugh at how ill-matched you were. Your friends no longer fear that you will burst into hysterical tears at any moment.
Within a fortnight: You start to sleep well again. You no longer feel the urge to call, text or Facebook your ex in the middle of the night and reminisce about “the good times”.
Within two months: You start flirting again with the guy in accounts/girl in HR and are starting to have fun. You’re starting to get your head around pursuing new interests, like a hobby you’ve been meaning to take up for ages or a language you want to learn.
Within a year: You have new interests, the heartbreak is a distant memory and you are able to see your ex without feeling horrible and like you want to run in the opposite direction.
See? Time is a healer…
