My "elders" have always said you grieve half the length of the relationship. A one year relationship takes six months. A four year relationship takes two years. That time is used to get the sadness out but also to give the person up for good.
I was in a four year relationship that ended in 2004. It definitely took me two years to stop thinking about him so much. I got married in 2006 (not to him of course) and thoughts of the guy had faded significantly. I still think about him occasionally and wonder if he's gotten his life together.
