It depends actually.If you loved that person after a break up you probably miss the person, but if it's the opposite you could probably be missing the relationship. Like, you feel safe in it and like that feeling.

Both! They both mean a lot. The person means a lot because they keep you going! The relationship means a lot because it’s what joined you and the person you loved together.

Usually people miss the relationship. The feeling you get from dating someone and opening up your soul to someone, giving them everything, sharing all kinds of memories and happy times with them. It's hard when that's all taken away at once.

Possibly both, you could miss the way the person was the smell and feel or you could miss the cuddles and kisses and having someone to share everything with.

The relationship. Sometimes it's hard to realize but often the fear of breaking up with someone is caused by a fear of living without a relationship, not without the person.

You miss the relationship because you needed someone in your life to fill or complete you.

I think this is a tough one, but i feel its more the relationship you miss because you could still talk to the person and it be fine, but the absence of the relationship is what makes you uncomfortable

this is a really tough question that i actually ask myself a lot. you more than likely miss the feeling of being in a relationship, being loved and just having someone there with you and for you rather than the actual person. but a lot of the time you may miss the person who you had all that with. and that’s the thing none of us wanna realize because we can often never get that person back and we have to acknowledge that. so next time just really think about that.

You can miss both. People often get confused with what they miss, some miss the relationship and search for another quickly to fill the gap, while others miss the person and think about them a lot. It's different for everyone.

Once upon a time, I thought I missed the person. But she hurt me, and she has hurt others, so it seems I might actually just miss being with her, rather than her herself.
