When me and my ex broke up, I was feeling very sad and alone which is weird since my ex used to hurt me.After a while when I started to forget about him I realized that I didn't need either, I realized that I was on a very toxic relationship that would end on something very bad if I didn't stop it sooner.As a survivor this is something I'm very proud of, to finally realize how toxic this relationship was and be able to overcome it.My ex on the other hand will never forget what a great girl he had and why did she lost her.If anyone is going through something like this do not be afraid to reach out, I will be more than happy to listen.

That differs. Sometimes you miss the memories and you want the relationship you used to have, but don't have anymore and you miss the person he/she used to be or you wished they were. Sometimes you can be in love with the idea of being in love and not the actual person.

Although you can miss the person, missing the relationship is what I feel to be more common. You've gone from having something that is no longer there and you miss it! Its normal!

It depends on what kind of relationship or person he or she was but I'd have to say I think I'd miss the relationship

We human, we love the person and the relationship with that person. It is our nature. There's no other reason you miss the person and didn't miss the relationship and same goes to relation.

Most of the time people assume its the person, but personally i think its the relationship. If that person was not a good person to you then you might miss the idea of the relationship that u had and not the person.

Most of the times when we broke up with a person we feel like we are missing something or someone but in reality what we are missing is the relationship when it was all good along with the person who he/she was when we were happy in the relationship.

Both. Sometimes you miss the person. Sometimes you miss the feeling of loving someone and getting loved back.

Without knowing the situation, who knows? You just might miss both. It's a struggle to know the difference,

I met up with my ex boyfriend last night, and it was like talking to a stranger. It made me realize that I miss the relationship, and not him.
