It takes time to get used to life without them. It is not wrong to miss who they were. But you have to remember that that's not who you are anymore. Allow yourself to miss them but don't let it affect you entirely.

A lot of the time we tend to look back at the good parts of a relationship and become nostalgic after it has ended. We mind romanticize it and forget that there were bad moments, too. If you give a lot of your time and attention to a person, it is common to feel this way. This person was most likely a big part of your life and living without him/her can be difficult. So yes, this is an normal desire to have after your heart gets broken!

I think if you loved the person, you may still feel like wanting to be with them even though they hurt you. Unfortunately, you can't just stop feeling for them even though logically they may not deserve your love. Healing takes time. Getting over someone takes time. But, just because you still have feelings for someone and miss them does not, however, mean you should be with them. It depends on the circumstances, but if what they have done to break your heart reveals a major character flaw in the person and especially if they have broken your trust - it is not wise to continue or jump back into a relationship with them, without seeing a major change in them over a long period of time.

Yes, it's quite common. You're simply missing being used to the things you use to do with the person you were in a relationship with.

Yes it's very normal to still want someone after they hurt us. We still want them because they are the one that we loved before they started hurting us.

Some people don't understand why you would want too still be in a relationship after your heart is broken but it does happen this is true.... Is it Normal ? I would say it's more natural thing that happens

Yeah it's pretty normal. In fact you can't stop thinking about them which makes you miss and want them even after they broke your heart.

Absolutely. After a relationship ends, it's not uncommon to long for something that will ease the pain of heart-break. Usually, we idealize that partner coming back to us. It's natural to think this will make the pain go away.

I would say it is human. We all have desires, yet when a desire turns into a compulsive need we face a lot of challenges. I would encourage you to ask yourself what sort of need is there and how can you transcend over that

It's very very normal I went through this as well. Feelings are always valid even if you think they may not be. Many people understand it
