Do I miss the person, or the relationship?

It is perfectly possible for you to love the person, but miss the state of being in a relationship. The longer you have been in a relationship, the more you will have become used to it and the harder it will seem to be on your own. But although it may not seem so at the time, time's a great healer and you will come out the other end.

Perhaps neither, often times after a relationship ends we simply miss the comfort we believe it brought, and perhaps being in one regardless of who it was with. We miss being a part of a "label", a seemingly elite community of people known as the "taken" ones. When something like that ends we feel as though something is missing in our lives, when the reality is it ended for a reason, and that reason was important and held a lesson to be learned from and an experience to hold dear. Use this newly found time alone to love yourself and treat yourself to simple pleasures in life like a warm bath or a good book or an impulse purchase.

Most of the time you miss the relationship.. You just miss having someone in your arms and someone being there for you.

Neither of it. What you miss after losing it, are your memories with them. We just have to be realistic here. You can live your life without that person. Trust me. You can. You may say that I'm wrong, but after moving on, you'll just laugh at yourself.

I definitely miss the relationship. My ex and I did not get along with anything. He did not support the decisions I made and I could care less about what he had to say about anything. But I do miss that I could send him random cute selfies of myself and have someone there to talk to about pointless things. We were both so used to each other, it makes it so difficult to break away even though we both know we aren't meant to be.

You miss the relationship, the feeling of being wanted and loved. There comes a point where you realize that you miss the memories not the person.

Based on my experience its the person you're missing not the relationship because of the memories that both of you shared.

I miss the first two months of the relationship, when everything was new and sweet. There will be more relationships and more people to fall in love with all over again. It's a new, exciting experience every time!

both - you miss the person physically and mentally and you miss the relationship as it gave you a sense of security and of course good times.

Thats your decision to make. It really isn't always the person, sometimes we're just in love with the idea of being in love/loved and sometimes we miss the moments. Take the relationship/moment in your head and replace it with some other guy/celeb/anyone. Do you still feel strongly about it?
