I still love my ex. Should I feel this way?

If you've truly loved someone, it'll take time for the feelings to fade. And for some, they never will. There's nothing wrong with this, you can't help how you feel.

It is natural to still love your ex. Those emotions never really go away but you do learn to control them. But if the love was strong then it is hard to get that away.

Well I guess you should since you do! I think a major hangup for good people is that they're constantly beating themselves up over perceived things they're doing wrong. But on a more practical level, you might look up the new age process cord-cutting.

Its only natural for feelings to linger. Eventually you will be able to look at your ex as a fond memory or a part of the past.

I think a more valid question would be ... 'Do I feel this way?' ... because you are trying to heal and help Yourself and what you feel must be considered rather than ... what is the so-called norm , And it's okay to still love your ex... but you'll have to establish some boundaries to heal and move on

Is love a bad thing? Do you feel like you should still feel this way about your ex? Many people still harbor feelings for an ex after the relationship has ended; you are definitely not alone. Have you had friends or heard of other people have feelings for their ex after a break up? Have you thought about talking to them or a listener on here about it? Do you remember though, the reasons for why things didn't work with your ex? Do you remember what you loved about your ex? Remembering all of that, can you put together a list of things that you want in a relationship/partner? Just because a relationship didn't work out doesn't mean you absolutely have to stop loving the other person or learning from what happened between you two. Sometimes letting go is a great act of love in itself both for you and the other person even though it may hurt.

Just because a relationship ends ,it doesn't mean the love you feel fades away all of a sudden. Also you can love someone and at the same time know that the relationship can't work. There really is no right or wrong way to feel.

nothing wrong with that . you can forget him when you 're ready . claim to love him better than avoid him. you love him does not mean you want to have him .

It's totally normal to still have feelings for people from your past, especially if they meant a lot to you.

Its perfectly normal to feel this way its part of being human. It takes time to get over relationships.

You cannot control who you love, so it isn't about if you should or should not feel this way. You have to look at it and think if she is the right person to love. I assume there is a valid reason they are your ex... take a look at that maybe.

Sometimes we can't help the way we feel, how you manage it, however, is different. You will learn to let go, but suppressing your feelings may not help, let yourself feel it, but don't act on it.

It is completely normal to still have feelings for your ex. It will take time, but eventually, everyone gets over their past relationships and moves on to better things

Well, when it comes to someone that you were so close with once upon of time nobody, but you can tell you how to feel or what you should feel. Whatever is in your heart is what you truly feel. You know that you still love your ex and that's all there is to know really. After all you were once in a relationship with this person. It is completely normal to still have feelings for he/she no matter how much time has passed by since the relationship ended.

It makes sense that if you cared intensely for someone, that just because you break up doesn't mean the feelings will suddenly go away. You shared a lot of good memories and while maybe you didn't work as a couple it's okay to still love them.

Its perfectly normal if you have been with someone and you loved them and the relationship ends you will still feel love for that person. Every person we meet in life leaves some kind of imprint on us. Some more than others. Especially those we have been intimate with and or shared part of our lives and our thought and deepest emotions. Its perfectly normal.

Personally I still love a person who was in my life almost two years ago but eventually I had to move on. Yes I know that person still cares but we both had to go our separate ways. It's not easy to move on, you can still love them and care about them, but give someone else the ability to be able to care for you.

It depends. Everyone experiences everything very differently. So it really is a personal thing on you.

You can't control your feelings, you can only control how you act upon them. It is perfectly fine that you still love your ex, but that doesn't mean that you have to go back out with him

it happens,but remember...the ones we need doesn't always need us......maybe they want us but that's not enough.always look at a bad break up and look at all the wrongs that u were bearing and learn from them

I think it is normal to feel that way. Specially if you havn't really move on yet or if you invest too much feelings to him.

Very much so. If you were abused, you should make sure you not keep the bad and good sides separate. This will aid in full determination of if you love them.

I feel like you'll always feel love towards someone id you've loved them in the past. sometimes you just need to realize that it didn't work out for a reason, and that you can love someone without being with them. it's possible to feel love for someone but not have a relationship with them.

To me it all depends on how you broke up and your ex personality. It happens to feel that way since the relationship is a long term established communication and getting used to someone is not easy to be forgotten by days and weeks. to me , it's normal to still love your ex if you haven't experienced a terrible and disrespectful breakup, or Whatever else that ruins the strong bonds between two persons.

I think that some part of part of me will always love my exes. I do not wish harm on them but over time, I have realized that is more that I care for them now rather than have romantic feelings for them. I also believe that you are in charge of your own feelings and only you can decide whether or not you should feel a certain way. I would definitely recommend writing in a journal about your feelings. Then, you could probably see why you are still feeling this way and if you think that that is a good thing or not.

Yes it is normal, there is a chance you and your ex will get back together. Never give up hope, because you never know.

Yes some people feel this way. If you still love him and he like you still you should ask him out.its up to you.

It is very normal. It is hard to get over someone easily, but if he is no good for you, try occupying your time by reading books, doing activities, going out with your friends and eventually you will find someone who truly appreciates you and you will get your mind off of him. :)

it is normal, if you developed feelings towards any person and shared memories and aspects of your life with them it's ridiculous to ask yo to forget him/her, those feelings may never disappear but with time they will slowly get smaller, to the point that if you see her/him again in 4 or 5 years maybe you won't help but smile, but you'll be aable to continue on with your own life. The important thing here is things can't be expected to change from one day to another, feelings are no exception, even if the other person hurt you. It's only matter of time.

The worst thing about time is it takes time ...and eventually it will fade away but if this feelings are being an obstacle and making it hard for you to move on than yes you should think about it and let go ...
