Well if he treats you well and there isn't anybody else in the picture i dont see why not. I broke up with my current boyfriend for another man and it made me realise that i was meant to be with him and i needed to be away from him to realise this

Yes, up to a point. The feelings that you are feeling now are just the echo of the relationship you were having earlier. You need to allow yourself to continue on your way.

I think it's very natural to still love an ex depending on how long ago you've broken up or how things ended. Reflect on why the relationship ended and if he/she still had the qualities that made you love them. As soon as you can come to terms with that you can work on trying to move on and accept your break up. You will come to terms with the fact that there are many other great people out there too!

It's absolutely normal to feel that way. A few years ago, I was deeply in love with my ex. Even after we broke up. But then I suddenly moved on. I found someone better for me and he was a lot better than my ex. Now, my ex still loves me and I'm over it :).

It is normal to still be in love with your ex, a relationship ends with words but love does not always and It can be very hard to forget that person so it may take a while but its okay :) Although if you are sure it is really over you should concern now about letting go and moving on otherwhise you might get hurt.

It's normal for some people. But if you still do love your ex, then try to talk to him, and ask him whether he still feels the same or not.
If he doesn't, make some effort to get him back. Try to make him remember the time and memories you spent together. If not, you will lose him someday.

After you break up with someone the first month is maybe the hardest, and also there are left out emotions you need to clear up, sure every time you look at your ex you feel something inside you like maybe hope or a thought maybe there was a way to end it differently. But you should know that in most situations breaking up was the best idea. So most of the time it isn't love it is just a mix up of emotions you experienced while being in the relationship.

You're totally entitled to feel this way. When you love someone and you break up, these feelings don't just go away. You will figure things out though - whether you get back together or whether you meet someone else, I hope you heal soon.

It's okay. Love is a thing you can't control. But don't let get in love to heavy, you can regret that later.

It's nice to keep them for something to look back on. If you don't know where you've been then you don't know where your going. Having said that if you find yourself holding onto them then its best to put them somewhere you can't daily access or delete them. It makes moving on easier and its healthier for you.

You feelings are valid and that shouldn't be the question. The question should be why you still have feelings for this person. It could be that not enough time has passed for old feelings to be forgotten and that's expected, but if enough time has passed you should remind yourself that they are an ex and try to focus on the incompatibilities that led to the demise of this relationships. Often times we romanticize relationships and people after they are over so remember that and try to look forward in life and not backward. Seek help from a counselor if this doesn't work and try to keep reminding yourself of all the things that were unacceptable to you in the relationship.

Loving your past is never a bad thing, nor is hating it. It allows you to move forward, and if the feelings stay; and you know them to be true, and perhaps with enough growth you can combat the issues you had before and maybe one day get back together.

Its perfectly normal for you to feel this way. If you were really close to this ex or in a long term relationship with your ex its normal to have lingering feelings for them. Over time they may fade but of course there are no guarantees

Yes, its not bad anyway. Your ex is part of your past. But please remember, you also need to prepare for your future. Keep walking forward, remember your ex have helped you in the past. No matter your ex will back to you or not you must keep moving. I hope you will meet your future partner of life. cheers

Many times feelings remain after going through a breakup, with both the person doing the breaking up with and the person being broken up with. These feelings are a completely normal part of the process of ending a relationship. If you want to talk to someone about working through this issues, join a group chat or connect with a trained listener for a 1-on-1 session.

Definitely normal to still have feelings for an ex, especially if it's hot off a relationship. If you keep these feelings for a long time or they start to affect your life in a negative way, try to look at what you can do to find closure and move on.

He/she is your ex which means there will be some sort of attachments felt, it will take time depending on how long you guys have been together and how attached you guys were.
