is it a bad thing to stay in love with someone who left you?

It is not a bad thing, as you loved him/her. It is only human to feel the need to be with the person. But as of my opinion it is better to let go. It will do less harm.

Well it depends. Being loyal to someone is a great thing. But being loyal for so long without any possibilities of that person coming back, will surely hurt you. So pick one.

Loving someone is never a bad thing but eliminating your chances of being happy just because you love someone that is not in your life anymore, is a bad thing.

Feeling that you are in love with someone is never a crime. You can always feel anything but always put in mind that that person left you when you were in a desperate need for them.

It certainly isn't a bad thing. Love is a beautiful, yet painful thing. It hurts when the person you love doesn't reciprocate those feelings. When you're in love with someone that left you it can be a beneficial feeling, as it allows you to maintain a healthy relationship with that person, as long as you respect their boundaries.

Not at all. If someone ended a relationship with you, friend or partner unanswered questions will be floating around as well as you wanting closure. Love is a feeling that can't be helped and it is natural. Time and other friendly company may help to overcome this feeling if that's what you want to happen.

I'd say that it's quite a natural thing to do after you have invested your love and time in someone. Your feelings can stay for a while, but sometimes you just have to move forward at your own speed, take your time.

Obviously it is not ideal, but it will always take time to overcome events like that. Eventually, you will come to see that you can find someone better who loves you for who you are and will not leave you.

Is not a bad thing to stay in love with someone who left you the bad thing is you remain in the past and still there and you miss the chances to be happy

You see a lot of people think that love is this cute romantic beautiful thing. And it is at times. But love can be dark and gruesome and harsh. Sometimes love is like black silk. And with love, you can't control it. So it's 100% perfectly fine to be in love with someone that left you

Of course not, it's completely natural. You have most likely made so many memories together as a couple, so getting over them or moving on won't be easy, so naturally, those feelings will still exist.

no it is not a bad thing you can't control your emotions and what you feel and you shouldn't feel bad for it

I think that loving someone is a testament to how important that person was to you. It is never wrong to love someone who was once in your life. If someone was really special to you then it is expected that you may always have special feelings towards them. However these feelings can be bad when they cause you to feel depressed and down, and like you cannot move forward with your life. If time passes and you are experiencing anxiety or depression it is important to speak with someone close to you, a friend or family member, or possibly a health professional.

It's bad just because it hurts you. But I can understand you. It's difficult stop loving someone.

I wish there was a simple yes or no answer I could give for this question. It's always easy to say yes it is bad, but emotions don't work like that. They still love that person, they must be really angry and hurt but there is that love within them. I will say it is bad to quit everything in your life & just wait for that person. That's a big NO. Sometimes, some people leave for whatever reason it might be. If it is because of your behavior or a bad habit then you need to work on it and maybe they will come back to you. But if they left you for someone else, it is not worth loving that person. There is a lot of pain, I know, but that pain is for you to work on yourself and get better. Get yourself busy with work, exercise, learning something new, traveling, so many things in life! Give yourself time! Know your worth cause you are AWESOME :)

Love is a complicated thing. I believe that it is ok to stay in love with someone who left you as long as you love and care about yourself too.

Depending on if they love you back, being with somebody who doesnt love you could result in another break up, leaving sadness to carry on throughout.

Try to move on with your life. It's not easy getting over a relationship - try and see the positive things from it but sadly if they don't feel the same way about you, you can't make someone stay. Remember to treat yourself kindly whilst you get over this though.

Yes it is. Simply because that person literally has moved on. You should be out enjoying yourself I’m sure they are doing the same thing

I wouldn't say it's a bad thing, but it depends on why that person left you. I can personally admit I'm still in love with my ex, even though we broke up last year due to being far away from each other. I respect the reason he gave to me (LDRs are not easy), but I still have feelings for him, and he admitted that his feelings for me hasn't changed. So, if the reason the person had for leaving is not a “bad reason”, I'd say it's not bad to stay in love.

We can't control who we do and don't love, it is unnatural for us to turn off those feelings, many people have gone through the same feelings you do, I can assure you, it is not abnormal

To whoever wrote this I know how exactly it feels to be still in love with a person who left you and its not bad at all because we gave our all to a person who we thought was the one so please dont feel ashamed that you still love that person and trust me time will heal you ,, I was in love with a guy who left me and I still was in love with him for 2 years but then i got over him,, so you just have to try your best to forget him/her and never ever message them even if they message you and throw away all their pictures and delete their chat.. thats the way I moved on it was really tough at first and i was crying everyday but time really does change and heal you All love..

You don’t just fall out of love with someone because it ends, it’s not bad, in time you’ll learn to deal with and make your peace with what happened.

It is really not a bad thing to stay in love with the same person who left you. Love is not something that if you want it out of your life, you can just throw it away. It is a process. So it is perfectly fine that you are still in love with that damn person even he broke your heart. Because the one who's stronger is the one who knows how to love even it hurts.

No, it's not necessarily bad. But it's bad for your own mental health. The best you can do is, grieve for the lost love and try to move on,

Yes and no. Yes, because if you allow your heart to still stay in love with someone who you know never will come back, you will continue to hurt. No, because if there's a shot they will come back, then that love is still there.

When you fall in love with someone they will always have a piece of your heart that they take with them. It isn't bad - it shows your personal character and there's nothing wrong with loving someone.

There’s no good or bad. We have ability to love many people during our life time. It’s ok to love as long as you don’t use that excuse to hurt yourself.

of course it isn't a bad thing! break ups are really tough, especially if you still have feelings for the person who left. But overtime, with patience and support, you'll be okay! Avoid spending time alone, keeping yourself occupied and busy helps take your mind off the bad thoughts!

It's not a bad thing, it's totally natural that you don't just stop loving someone the moment they break up with you. Feelings change slowly over time.
