It is completely natural to feel this way. Getting over and ex isn't easy, and it can take a long time to get over them. But with time and patience, we learn what our next step is to either fix ourselves or maybe even rekindle our relationships if they can be in a healthy way. Feelings take time to process and heal. Don't feel discouraged if you still feel this way, we've all been there before.

Then he/she is not your ex! Perhaps you need some rehabilitation or you should fall in love with someone else!

It is ok to feel this way. It is just that you haven't started your new chapter yet. And when you do you will learn to love someone else.

All feelings are valid. Perhaps speaking with someone you trust or writing out your feelings and braking down your thoughts could help you feel more comfortable.

Well, you're ex is the person that you may/may not have slept with but you really liked or even loved. You'r heart doesn't having a keyboard to type into and say stop loving him/her, it's still going to have feelings for the person. Hanging onto an ex isn't exactly healthy,as if they've moved on so should you. Unless you want to get back together but anyways. It takes a while to get over your relationship and break-up so it's natural but it shouldn't be to a "pining over" state because that's unhealthy.

We're both in the same boat and guess what? It is perfectly normal. It is quite difficult to 'fall out of love' with someone who you firmly believed to be 'the one' as I am sure you have. You've invested a lot of time, energy and emotions into this person. No one is ever emotionally prepared for a breakup and it takes time to really move on from someone.....especially if we're holding on to memories and the feelings that are associated with them. Try to embrace those feelings and come to terms with what has happened, and when you are ready you will let them go. At the end of the day, we are the only ones responsible for our happiness. :)

Yes, it's normal. But very unhealthy because you could ruin both you & your next relationship being stuck to an ex. Talk it out with your ex if feelings are still the same.

There is nothing wrong with loving your ex. If your breakup was unexpected it's normal to love your ex because they just dissapeared in your life, left a hole and you would do everything to get him back. Time heals and you'll get over him but you miss him. DO something you like and enjoy your time, he will disappear from your mind slowly , but he will.

Its OK. You used to love each other and now that your separated your feelings cant just magically go away. It may take some time and be hard not to approach your ex but give it some time.

If you have recently broken up with them then you will need time before your feelings will move on..

Yes, it's perfectly healthy to miss someone, especially if you'd spent a lot of time with them. And it's more "longing" than love.

breakups are hard. love felt in relationships could last a short or long time but it's ok to feel that way. sometimes things don't work out and things stay that way but sometimes when things don't work out second chances are given and it ends up being the best time of your life so if you feel you still love someone try and make it work.

Well it depends on how long it's been . It's totally normal in most cases after it's been a little while but if they've moved on then in that case you should too. Never get into another relationship when you're still thinking about someone else , you'll only really hurt and confuse the other person in that manner . If your ex is still approachable , try to talk to them about it :) I'm always here if any of you need me , that's a promise 💕

It is perfectly natural to feel this way. We cannot always control our emotions but we can control what we do with them. You know your romantic situation better than anyone, so dig deep into your heart and see what you truly need, and how you can achieve it.

Of course. It's very normal to still have strong or weak feelings for someone you had a relationship. You're just not yet over the fact that you guys had something. It'll go away at some point.
