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

Writing down what you want to say beforehand is for sure helpful, its good to use a notes app on your phone or something similar, you can work on it for a few days, write how you feel and what has caused you to want to end the relationship, if you're not happy with it the first time then you can re read it and edit it, spend some good time on it and make sure its all the honest truth, no one likes being lied to, it only hurts people more.

I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing unless if this hinders you from moving on. Even though the relationship ended, this person might be a good person, someone whom you learned a lot from and so, worthy of admiration. So I think it's okay to still have feelings for that person but be clear with yourself that you should live your life without this person.

I am not sure if calling it a bad thing is right, but is it something that is giving you happiness? is it making you smile or giving you any reason to love life more? That's what love is supposed to do right? After all that's we get in a relationship right? If it's not doing any of this...then what's the use of holding on?You are still in love with that person but what about the love that you need? Is this giving you that? I am not asking you to stop loving that person, I am not even sure if that's possible but can you accept it that he/she isn't with you anymore and take a step forward? Moving on doesn't mean that we stopped loving that someone,right? love can never end..,but is it fair to close yourself to anymore love? Because by staying in love with that person you are doing exactly that. Take your time..take all the time you need but just don't close yourself to anymore love, to new people that you'll meet in your life, to new chances because no plant can grow in a dark, closed room right?

It's normal to love someone after you've broken up. You share a life and experiences with someone when you're together. A part of them always stays with you. It's absolutely not wrong to feel something for that person, especially if you don't let it get in the way of living your life.

No, That's normal! It can be hard to get over, and having those feelings remain is normal, but it should never both you with what your doing!

Its your happiness that matters the most, so if you feel miserable by loving the one who left you then its best to stay away, you can always try to patch up any broken relationships but expecting miracles is the way of the illusion and will hurt more, The truth is we cannot control other people, We can only control ourselves, Hence we should base our happiness on ourselves, not others who hurt us.

Love may unite people, but not all love dissipates on both sides. If you feel true to your feelings and are honest with yourself that undying love may benefit you in the long run.

yes honey, you have to keep going on with your life if he left you he lose, he lost his opportunity with a person that truly loves him

I believe we never stop loving those who are no longer a part of our lives. However being "in love" with someone only lasts so long after they're gone.

Love is a powerful emotion and it doesn't go away easily. After you've emotionally invested yourself in someone, it takes time to get over them. Just remember your self worth and work through your feelings at your own pace.
