Do I miss the person, or the relationship?

Both are interrelated. However, it's more the feeling, the comfort, the care than anything else. Especially if the person wasn't very nice to you. And that's why when we find another incredible person, we immediately adapt to the new relationship. Because what is tangible is different, but the emotions, the functioning of the relationship is the same. :)

It's always hard to distinguish whether you miss the person or the relationship. You should always ask yourself whether you were in love with the person, or in love with the idea of you being together. Being committed to eachother/being exclusive doesn't mean anything if you don't love one another. So by asking yourself whether you love the person or not, it's easy, really. You will miss the person if you love them, and the relationship if you don't. It can also be both.

Breakups are complicated because sometimes we get so used to being with someone that we forget how to be alone too.
It's easy to be 'with' someone, even if we aren't happy anymore, because that is all we know. We have to learn how to be alone too though.
The only way to know is by spending some time alone, doing things you enjoy and that make you happy. If at the end of the day you still feel like you miss this person, then you miss the person. If you feel like you are lonely, dreading being alone, or thinking about finding someone else quickly so you can have someone to fill an emptiness, then you miss the relationship.

We all tend to miss the 'feeling' of being in a relationship with a certain person. But I also believe that we don't always miss that person because most of the time, what we miss is the comfort, the love, and the pleasure that relationship brings.

It can depend. Maybe you miss aspects of the relationship, like the attention and affection, but the partner wasn’t right for you. Maybe you miss the person, like if the relationship didn’t work out but you still want to be their friend.

I guess both. We all get used to company, so after a separation there are 2 factors: our soul is hurt after leaving someone we used to live and also feel forced to get used to new lifestyle: changes are always traumatic (more or less)

That is honestly up for you to decide. You might even miss both. And if it was a good relationship with a good partner then you aren't over either and you miss both. If they were special to you then they will always have a special place in your heart. It it natural for you to miss them and the relationship. It might have been the greatest feeling in the world and you then have to get used to being alone and feeling different.

It depends, but most likely the relationship. It's called the comfort zone for a reason. We don't like being out of it, and the relationship was your way of life, in a way, for a while. It's hard to shake yourself out of that, but you will go back to being the way you were before, maybe even better.

I would say that you miss both. There would be no relationship without the person. And the person is the most important part of your relationship.
However, you can miss one or the other, or both.
