Of course. Even when someone breaks your heart, the love for them does not instantly go away. In some cases, it never goes away. It is totally normal to love someone, even after they break your heart. The danger is when you keep hanging on to that person long after the heartbreak because in my experience, I can tell you that it is definitely negative for your life.

It's very normal to still want to be in a relationship with someone after they break your heart. Love is a beautiful thing, but it can also be the one thing in life that breaks us. No matter what a person did to you or how they broke up with you, you still can't help,but want to be with them. I'm feeling this way now and it's not a fun thing to go through at all. You want to continue being with this person because you love and care about them. The love that you have for this person is getting stronger day by day even after things go left. Remember that just because someone doesn't want to be with you now, doesn't mean that they won't come back around later or in the future. Good Luck!!!! :) :) :) :)

Lots of people find it difficult to seek a new relationship after a broken heart. A deep love for partners in past relationships is not abnormal, but can cause lot of pain and self-esteem issues. Even after a long time, you might consider your partner to be a good person and potentially go on a date with them. A good thing to remember is to consider whether the problems in your relationship can be resolved. However, if you would like to move on, the first thing might involve unfollowing them on social media. As someone who has never experienced a relationship I would say somebody choosing to stay in a relationship after heartbreak may be as a result of them feeling that this person is their only chance of companionship and love. If experiencing these feelings it would be best to consider and reflect on the pace of the relationship, emotional impact of the relationship, how the relationship impacted on your personality. So in general ask yourself did this person bring out the best in you and are they helping you grow.

I think so. Because you had bonded with the person during the relationship - it makes sense you would wish they were a better person so you could be together with them again. I think that wanting them is more about you than it is about them. You have a strong ability to love and you feel loyal. Those strong loving feelings come from you - and hopefully eventually you'll see that you have the power to direct them wherever (towards whomever) you wish.

Yes. That is completely normal. Just because they broke up with you or the relationship ended, does not mean you don't still love them. You can't go from one day loving a person, to the next not loving them. It will take some time to get through it.

Of course! If it weren't normal, how could love be the strongest feeling in the world? The feeling that compelled so many people before us to do things never before imaginable? Even if the relationship wasn't what you wished for or enjoyed, you still felt something, And that something does not leave overnight. If it did, would we ever grow? Would we ever care about all the beautiful things we had with that person? If the pain and the undying wish of being with someone again after a breakup wouldn't be there, we would have nothing to hold on to. The wish shows that what we felt was real and true. Perhaps it didn't work out this time, but whenever a door closes, somewhere a window is opened. The wish of being in the past with that person is a proof, a promise, that someday, we might find that happiness again. That we deserve what is best for us and that we deserve people who love us beyond everything. Even if it's new people and new opportunities. We deserve it. Because your question shows that when you fall in love, you love. With all your heart. And that is what really matters in this world.

That's normal. The mind actually does something very silly to itself, if focuses on only the positives of the relationship and also wants the person more after a break up has happened. It's normal, yes, and very difficult to deal with.

Definitely. Having your heart broken by someone can be terrible, but most of the time it doesn't affect your feelings about this person. Love is a very strong emotion and it doesn't go away overnight.

It Depends on you totally because usually we don't want that person back in our life. But It's fact that every person should get second chance. Be positive in every situation.

I don't think it's bad to think like that. You loved that person and it's kinda normal to feel that way. But just because you love them, doesn't mean you should get back with them. There's a reason why it never worked out the first time. Don't go for a second one.
