It depends on the type of relationship you had with the person. In some cases you could miss the feeling of loving and others the custom of being in the relationship is hard.

I think we miss the feeling we had when we were with that person..the way that person made us feel. The way we were so open and free with them, the way they made us smile and supported us during our low days, the way they made this world a better place, or should I say more bearable just by being there by our side. So i guess we miss the the person we were around them. But then, this is just according to me...I might be wrong too.

I honestly missed the relationship and not the person I thought he was different but I feel better now then when I was with him

We are creatures of habit, so it is easy for us to confuse if we miss the person we were with or the feeling of being in a relationship. The best way I answered this question for myself was thinking about the things my partner and I did that was exclusive to us (our go-to date spots, memories unique to us) and tried to imagine doing it with someone else. If you can more or less picture doing the things you once loved with another person, perhaps you miss the idea of a relationship. You know you miss the person when you realize you are missing a part of yourself. But, the two are so closely twined together that it is hard to make the distinction.

You may miss the person, if you miss the person it could be the way they did little things or the things they could have said. You could miss the things they would wear, how they smelled or the way they ate, If you miss the relationship it could be the way you two did things together such as how you often cuddled or went out on dates. The jokes you made at each other and the deep conversations you two had.

That all depends. Do you miss what they did, who they were, how they made you feel, or the little things about them? Missing the person is when you think about THEM as a person. Who they were, their habits, their smile, them. Missing the relationship would be more directed at your feelings that you miss. Do you miss how being together made you feel? Those kinds of feelings.

You got into a relationship to be in a relationship or to be with the person? Ask yourself this first.

Maybe you just miss the companionship. The feeling of someone being there for you, someone to turn to. If it didn't work out then you have to think that there must have been a good reason behind it. So it can't be the relationship or the person you miss. You might just miss someone to talk to and be connected with.

Generally you miss the relationship - it's not the person you miss. It's the routine. Ask yourself, what are you missing? Are you missing the closeness, the company, or are you missing the dates and the things you did together?

Always a really difficult question to answer. We often break up with our partner because we feel as though something is not working out and it is beyond repair. This naturally leaves a void; we forget how much time our partner can occupy. In my experience, it is more often that people miss the relationship more than the person. Filling up your time with things you care about is a great way to help with this!
