Today, it's been one week since I found out that my ex got married. Since then, every night I dream about her breaking up with me again. Apparently, time doesn't heal all wounds. FML

Time means diddly if you haven’t processed the grief of losing an SO. Your dreams are now trying to do subconsciously what you haven’t finished consciously.

It does, but it's just a very slow-acting drug. One week is just good enough to heal the hurt of something like the McRib disappearing again. Losing an SO takes much more time.

It's not that time heals wounds, it's that healing takes time. You still need to do the heavy lifting of grieving and overcoming the loss. Therapy can be helpful, because you have someone to help you discover the tools unique to you to heal.
