Men of Reddit, how much time/space have you taken between relationships and why?

I usually regularly go out with a couple different girls a year. Generally I'm not with them longer than a few months and there's about a 3-4 month gap between them. Mostly for logistical reasons and my inability to give a fuck, which you can pretty much use to explain every part of my relationships or lack their of. There might be a scarce handful of one offs in between.

Before last year, there was a gap of about a year and a half where I didn't go on any dates at all with about an 8 month relationship before that. I'm still kinda messed up about her emotionally, it never went well, and it didn't end well. But, I loved her more and was more emotionally intimate with her than anyone before or since.

I don't really rebound. I usually feel either relieved or angry for a while, then whatever happens happens. So I guess you could say I have no expectation of forming a serious relationship. I have an interest, but I don't meet anyone I'd actually want to be with for anything but some fun.
