Love is an extremely strong feeling. I don't believe there's a right answer to your question. Only you know your love story. Let your heart heal and try to focus on yourself.

Yes. It is possible to still have feelings for someone in your past. It can take time and courage to get over them feelings. It is not wrong that you still have feelings for them.

It's perfectly normal to still be in love with an ex, you've connected emotionally and physically to this person, and when a relationship ends it's a human reaction to still love him/her.

Sometimes it takes awhile to separate yourself from an ex. Abruptly moving on from someone who has been a large part of your life is difficult. Still having love for that person is not, in any way abnormal to the process on moving on.

Yes, because you was in love, but once reality kicks in and you're ready to date again then maybe the feelings will change.

This is very normal. Love is love and you can't control it. Maybe if you find someone else then you will get over your ex.

Ex's can either be the most heartbreaking people in our lives, or the most annoying people in our lives. For me, my ex was both. During my relationship with him, I never had to stress, because before he was my boyfriend, he was my best friend. There are some moments I shared with him that made me the happiest girl in the world, and I thought I loved him. Even to this day, I think about him at least twice a day. Good memories can't be gotten rid of so easily I guess. I constantly asked myself if thinking about him was still the right thing to do. He had probably moved by now, it's been a whole year. But seeing his name on everything that I ever owned was not making it any easier to forget him.

It is completely natural to feel such things. Sometimes when coming out of a relationship with someone you feel half; not whole. This is okay. Always remember that time heals all scars and bruising.

Yes this is totally normal. If you still love him/her tell them and if they dont feel the same way give it time

It's perfectly normal to still be in love with your ex, feelings aren't going to go away in a heartbeat, but that's okay - it takes time.

Everyone feels this way. Even if you recently broke up, its hard to get over it but it takes time to.

Your feelings are understandable and totally valid, there is no reason why you should be questioning yourself. Love is difficult to come by and difficult to get over. It is a process that happens gradually and there will be one day when you wake up and realize you are over it. Give it time and be patient with yourself.

you shouldnt feel this way because there is a reason she is youre ex. If you love her still then so be it, but you should love yourself more to realize she is not worth your time.

It is perfectly normal to still love your ex. They were an important part of your life, but remember that they are an ex for a reason. It can take a long time to get over someone that you felt such strong feelings for in the past, but you must remember to love and value yourself enough to let go, especially if holding on is causing you any hurt or trouble.

It's perfectly natural to still feel love like this for an ex, time is definitely a great healer and although you may never fully stop loving this person you will be able to move on and love someone else.

It is a difficult time when relationships come to an end. Especially when you really love and care for someone. Nobody can determine how another person should think or feel. Not even yourself. No one can place a time limit on how long you will carry feelings for a past relationship. The best thing one can do is attempt to move forward and try to seek counseling if the feelings become overwhelming. You can also seek the advice of friends and family to help you through a difficult period. Perhaps even involving yourself in activities or hobbies you enjoy will help you cope and redirect your thoughts and energies elsewhere. Just know that you can go on and can move forward.

There is nothing wrong with carrying feelings for someone you are no longer with. However, that person is an ex for a reason.😏
