Sometimes, its hard to let go of someone whom you've given your all to. And, no, it's not always a bad thing to stay in love with someone who left you. But it is a bad thing to hurt yourself in the process. Or to give up on all the other potential love that is out there for you, just waiting. It's not a bad thing to stay in love with someone who left you, it just may not be the right thing.

After someone who you fell in love with left you its not possible to 'unlove' that person immediately. Its not a switch which can be flipped on and off. So obviously naturally its okay to stay in love with that person for a while. But then you should also try to move on. Just because someone left you doesnt mean your life has to stop. Pick yourself up, meet new people and fall in love again. Its not a bad thing to stay in love with someone who left you but its definitely not healthy to not even try to forget that love.

It is completely normal to still love a person who has left you. The problem arises when this love you feel leads to emotions such as loneliness and anxiety. As hard as it may be, you have to try to move on from your ex. You may always love them in some way, but you need to be able to put your other emotions first. You need to find new things that make you happy, such as a new hobby or a new job o even new friends. It is not a bad thing to stay in love with someone who left you, but you have to be strong and not let this love you feel take over your life.

Nope. Love is not about asking for you to be loved back. It is expressing your feelings to someone with all your heart and soul.

If you were in love, the bond you created will stay for a while even if you're hurt. Love doesn't go away with a snap of the fingers. It isn't bad, no. But don't hold yourself up on the one who left you.

Not really a bad thing to stay in love with someone who left you, because love is not easy to disappear even someone you love left you. Actually it's okay to love them even if you're not together anymore. But please, not stay in love for too long! Just give yourself enough time to cherish what you had and feel the pain until you get used to it. In time, you will forget everything.

Actually, it's a pretty common thing. If you fall in love with someone and they end up hurting you, your original feelings for them are not going to immediately vanish. It will take time, I speak from experience. It might sting a bit, it might feel pretty sucky, but you WILL get over the person, I promise. Until then, just know, it takes some time for some people to fall out of love.

Of course not. We cannot control who we love, but we can control what hurts us. And even though that person may no longer be in your life anymore, the memories will linger on about the good times you had.

Being in love with someone is a direct reflection of the love we wish to receive. When we feel sad about ending a relationship, in spite of being totally okay to feel the way we're feeling, I want you always to remember that you alone have the power of prodividing yourself the love you need, and at the same time, when a relationship arises in your life, it will be seen as an opportunity to manifest that love you have in yourself into momentum by embodying it as the source energy that feeds your spirit. sacred partnerships are opportunities to grow and you definitely deserve to love and be loved

It can be dangerous or harmful to stay in love with somebody after they're broken off a relationship/ friendship with you, but it's also completely normal to keep somebody in your heart and hope the best for them. The most important thing is that you can balance how much you love and care for them with your own self love. I guess an easier wording would be "It's okay to still love somebody so long as it doesn't interfere with your own mental health and stability".
