Yes, it's absolutely normal. You don't have to freak out. A lot of us still love and remember our ex even after the relation ends. But that just shows how real it was, and helps you to reconcile. It lets you remind yourself that what you had was very real, and there's no way to deny it. So you can consider it as a learning experience. Just think of it as- Everything good has to end.

It takes time to get over someone you used to love. Give it some time & talk with a trusted friend about it

Of course you should feel like this. Sometimes it takes long to forget somebody you loved but try to think of something else and do things, that makes you forget about him/her.

It perfectly normal to feel that way. Sometimes it takes time to stop loving your ex and to get over that relationship you had

Sometimes, people do feel this way. It's perfectly okay to still be in love, however, maybe you should think about why the breakup ended in the first place. If either of you weren't happy, it will not work out - as relationships are double sided. If this was the case, give as much time as you need to grieve, but be sure to move on when given the chance.

I think you are feeling somwehat guilty because you have feelings for someone who isnt even there, but its nothing out of the ordinary. We mostly still have feelings for that other person because we felt special with them, and we think that we will never have anything better. Its a matter of perception but also a matter of how you feel about yourself. Ask yourself, was the relationship really that perfect? Why did it broke in the first place? Do you really want to get over them? If no, why not and is it worth the pain? Are you idealising past ? I don´t know if this will help you in any way, but if you want to talk I am here for you .

There is no right or wrong way to feel. You probably feel you still love your ex just based upon all the great, fun and shared moments you spent with each other. So, it is perfectly normal to still love them.

Well you shouldn't feel or not feel this way it just depends on you. If there are still some unresolved things in the relationship that could be part of your problem. Talk to them and sort things out

No, you shouldn't. You have to fine new love. Open new door of happiness and closed the previous one.

There is nothing wrong with that. However, it probably is something that you should try to change for your own good. Holding on to a lost cause can be very harmful.

It's perfectly normal to still have feelings for your ex! Whether you want to act on those feelings is up to you. If you think that getting back together with your ex could result in a healthy, happy relationship, go for it!

There is no right or wrong way to feel. We cannot control our emotions. How would you like to feel about this?

It depends on you, if you don't have anyone in your life and you love your ex. So, you need talk to them and find the solution.

It's normal. You put so much time and love into this person, and in the end, it feels wasted. It takes time to get over them, and soon enough you will notice the love for them to start to disappear.

It all depends on your own situation. If you weren't expecting a breakup, and you were perfectly happy with the relationship and had no intentions for it to end - then it's perfectly normal for you to still love them. Sometimes things don't work out due to the circumstances and not the person, sometimes it's a matter of situations that can't be dealt with. As I see it, even if you've broken up with someone, it doesn't necessarily mean that you have emotionally severed the bond you had with someone.
