is it a bad thing to stay in love with someone who left you?

No it is not. As long as it doesn't hurt you emotionally and phisically. I am also in love with someone who left me. That's because it was my first love. Your first love always will be special to you.

Not at all. You can stay in love with that person even if they dont feel that way about you anymore.

It's not a bad thing, the best thing to remember is that they must not have been happy in that relationship anymore and it's totally normal to still love them as they were such a big part of your life, in time things will get better you'll begin to focus more on new starts and whilst you won't forget the past, it'll hurt less

Personally, I think it's natural to still be in love with someone who left you. Sometimes, when you don't get the closure you need to move on, you can never fully move forwards. I felt like this after my first boyfriend left me. To me, he was the love of my life but unfortunately he cheated on me. Despite knowing this, I guiltily continued to love him. However, over time and through meeting other people I think it is possible to move on and even realise that they weren't right for you.

Yes, I think it is bad. Of course feelings can't be helped, but if this person has wronged you then you clearly deserve better. I had a boyfriend who I loved so much and I kept going back to him and he would use me then break up with me and it happened countless of times and it's just horrible. I'd never want to see anyone going through that.

In my opinion, it is. You should learn and try to move on, otherwise you're going to be stuck on the same page over and over and you'll never give yourself a chance to fall in love with someone you actually deserve and someone who truly loves you. If you don't try to fall out of love you're only going to tear yourself apart.

It can be a bad thing to stay in love with someone who left you. If the remaining love hinders you to form new relationships with people or starts an emtional spiral down to depression, that is when you know that these feelings are harming you.

It takes time to get over a person whom you loved with your whole heart, even if they were the one who left you. It's okay to stay in love with that person for a while, but if that person does not care about you or does not respect you at all, you will not get any happiness or satisfaction in loving him. It's better and healthier for you to move on and love yourself.

We can't always control who we love and why we love them. That said, in the absence of a romantic relationship you may find the best opportunity to ask yourself some important questions about it: what did I gain in this relationship? What did I sacrifice for it? We very well may never understand another person's motives, but we do have the power to understand our own.

It is not bad nor good, it's normal! Love is like any other feeling, it is something you can't control! We sometimes get to the realization that the person we are with is not good for us, or the relation is not healthy... yet, we continue, because we love that person. Such feelings take time before they disappear completely and they will do so, when we become aware that whatever happened it happened for the best! So don't worry about your nor feel guilty or frustrated about your feelings, just give them time and stay with them until necessary.
