Do you ever really fully recover from a broken ...

Would you want to?  The better the love, the worse the pain.  Losing a love that should last forever should be honored with a pain that lasts forever.  But yes, infatuations, crushes, and failed relationships do fade away and no longer hurt.  Some sooner than others, if you get yourself moving and quit dwelling on the past.

I say no.  I think a piece of your heart breaks off and you never get it back.  Just try not to become bitter and hard and be open to loving again.  Even though love can be very painful it can also be the most wonderful feeling ever.  You have to get out there and love again.  No man is an island--you will regret it if you don't.  Good luck!

Hi,

    One can fully recover from a broken heart eventually.  When you find a new love, focus on that person's inner nice qualities and don't compare the new one to the previous loved one.

    Later on, you will remember the good times that you had with the previous loved  one and lessons that you derived from that relationship so you won't make the same mistakes again.
