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

I don't think it is bad, but I do think it is best to accept that you might not have them as a partner in the physical world. Just keep in mind that you will always have a spiritual attachment, and that you don't need a physical attachment to them to make it count. Open your heart to love from other people too, and you will always have the memory of your previous attachments. We are all connected.

Not at all; you can't help what you feel and if you do just let it flow. Now, when I say it's fine for you to still feel that way that doesn't mean I'm saying you should run back to them. No. While it's fine to feel that way you must accept they've left you. It's going to be hard but you must. While still feeling those emotions for the person, remember to focus on yourself in the end. Focus on building yourself back up and focus on what that whole experience taught you. Learn from it and continue helping yourself grow. Hope that helps

A tough part of relationships is that they involve two people. Usually when you fall in love with someone, it feels like both of you are connected and there is just one person, so we always assume the other person feels the exact same way as we do. When someone leaves you, it often means that it wasn't the case. However, when someone says out of nowhere that they don't love you anymore, it can be hard to take if you believed that they did this whole time. So, when a partner leaves, the other one is usually left with their strong feelings that they don't know what to do with. It is perfectly okay to hang onto your love for someone. But make sure that this love doesn't come with an expectation to get love back from them! (People usually do hang on to this expectation!) This love that you hold onto should be a care for them, hoping that they are okay and that they are happy. This way, you are also open to new relationships instead of being closed off from them. The key is to keep the care for your ex-partner, while accepting the situation that they felt differently so that both of you are able to move on past the relationship.

It is not bad to still love the person who already left you. This person had been part of our life and made us happy before. But, they already left and what we have now is just a memories of the past. So we must live in the present and leave the past behind. Learn to love yourself so the people around you will know to value you.

I used to be madly in love with someone. We dated for 5 months, then they left. I believe that staying in love with that person helped me to heal, but letting go was the best part of all.

No, of course not. This shows you that your love is unconditional. Your love can be eternal, and this is a divine quality of a human being. Just make sure you don't wait her/him back. And make sure you can have a new lover. True love can't die. It hurts at first, yes. But believe in love, not believe in pain. So, pain can be dissolve. Your pain is not eternal, it is just a guest. When you love someone, you truely love someone it is not because you are addict to him/her, it is because he/she activate your love. He/she is a key, actually. Not the door itself. He/she is a key for you can activate your love and then share this with everyone. :)

It is not necessary a bad thing. You can love and respect someone even if you are not with them anymore. But if it is causing you grief and anxiety then you should not do this to yourself. Self inflicting pain can become a form of abuse that people get addicted to. It leads your life to astray. Think of your benefit first.

It's not bad, because it shows that you truly did love them, however it is important to remember to move forward with your life and not let it hold you back.

Staying in love with someone who left you is a valid feeling. It can be damaging to you if it consumes you too much, so if it effects you in a bad way it can be bad. If it's a warm love for the memories you shared but you are okay with not being together anymore, it

Loving someone and being in love with them are two very different things. It's never bad to love someone, but that means letting go of our own wants and needs and focusing on theirs, even if it means we have to step back for a while. Being IN love means you enjoy how being around them feels, and that's not bad either if it doesn't interfere with our life and what we need.
