A friend I work with went thru a breakup with his girlfriend, or at least that's what it seems like.
It's been 2 month's since it happened and they are still not back together, and barely talking.

I told him it's time to walk away, but he thinking they can get past the problem.

I think he's gone nuts, but persistence pays off sometimes.

Is 2 months too long to hang on...no matter how much you love someone ?

I think it depends upon the people and the situation. Some people are very stubborn and will disappear for longer periods of time than others. I knew a fellow who disappeared to only reappear after I met someone new. I think there have been many couples who have reunited after a long breakup, and it's just a part of their growth. You mention they are 'barely' talking.... this means they still talk and maybe he knows something you don't.

Yeah maybe, but still he should leave her alone for a few weeks and see what happens.
