Do I miss the person, or the relationship?

That's always a tricky question. What do you think? If you find another person to date as of right now, and you're just as happy, I would say that you miss the relationship. But if you think back of when you first met that person, and feel nostalgic, perhaps you do indeed miss that individual. All in all, missing a person and relationship can be very intertwined so it's hard to say. I'd say that you'll know with time.

It's always hard to tell what you miss when a relationship ends. It really comes down to the question of do you miss the person they are, or do you miss the things you did? Once you identify that, you can move forward from there :)

It could be a little bit of both. But more often than not we tend to remember the fond things from past relationships when we miss them. We might have a tendency to omit some of the negatives, or the reason why the relationship didn't last. We miss what we once had, and that could be the relationship itself, or characteristics of the person that you liked to begin with.

In any stressful situation, it’s easy to get caught up in the emotion. Apply the Helicopter View mind perspective. We can zoom out our view and see the bigger picture. As the helicopter takes off, getting higher and higher, it sees a bigger and bigger picture, and is less involved with the detail at ground level. So as we pull back from an emotional situation, we can start to see things much more clearly and rationally.

I can't say this will apply to you, but for me the answer would be both. When I lost my best friend and girlfriend I was haunted by the loss every waking moment. I missed the person because I saw a future with her and believed that if she was in my life that future could be mine. I missed the relationship because without it I felt hollow, the magic of life was gone. They are two sides of the same coin.

It depends on the kind of relationship you had. Sometimes you may miss the kind of relationship you had, or the person while reprimanding the relationship.

I guess it depends on how you feel. It could be that you still have lingering feelings. But, it could also be that you just need another relationship. Maybe try being with someone else and then you will find the answer.

It depends a lot on the circumstances of the relationship. Therefore it can be one of those or even both. After all, we can miss how the person made us feel, act or just their personality and presence. But we may not feel that the relationship with this person was correct one. Or we can miss how a particular type of relationship felt, for example having someone to share thoughts, experiences and closeness or having stability but the person was not right or was even completely wrong. And sometimes it may happen that it is combination of two. It is good question to ask though after the ending of the relationship as it may help to solve the issues and eventually heal.

It depends on the situation. If you find yourself missing things that are specific to the person (the way they laughed, their eyes, something that they did for you), chances are you miss the person. But if you miss having someone to talk to or the intimacy the relationship provided, then you probably miss the relationship.

Probably the relationship if you guys did a lot of fun, cute things. If you think about them a lot or get sick to your stomach thinking of them loving another person then you might love the person however.
