Learn English – the meaning of “I’ve gotten over __ recently”

idiomsmeaning

I came across the phrase "I've gotten over [tool] recently" in an article written by someone who had tested the tool. From the article's context, it seemed that the author was not particularly fond of the tool and that therefore the phrase means something like "I stopped using [tool] recently". Is that correct, or is there another meaning behind the phrase?

Best Answer

Without further context and using only the fact that the author was not particularly fond of the tool, it could mean one of the following.

(1) He liked it very much in the past but dislikes it now.

(2) He found it difficult to use but has mastered it now.

(3) He had a bad time using it but is not troubled by it now.
