It depends. If you truly believe they have changed then you should do what is right. You need to know this person. You need to know whether they will break your heart again. If they will then it will not be worth it. Some people change. Some do not. Some people become jerks. Some do not. I am not you so and I can not decide. You will do what is best for you. Do not feel guilty if you reject them. You have every reason to. You and your heart need to agree together. You will be strong. I know it.

Normal is always subjective. When people break your heart, whatever happened in the past. It's normal to think back and relieve the amazing moments. Any moments that weren't right for you or even a big issue for you slowly seem to fade. If it was out of the blue it may even be harder because you don't have those negative thoughts. However it's normal to feel bad or sad or whatever you are feeling right now after a break up. But I believe people always break up for a reason. And if this happened than it probably is for the better, even if it doesn't seem like that right now.

Hiya, to begin with, I'd like to offer you with some gentle hugs. Having your heart broken by someone you love is amongst top worst experiences to ever have in life, I feel. It's a whole lot of devastating and emotionally-difficult. There's even studies suggesting how heartbreak can feel like physical pain. I feel, it's normal to want to be in a relationship with someone even if they broke your heart, as often times we are in denial and it's simply hard to register and make sense of how reality, or to even accept how we've we've been treated, when we love someone. With relationships, there's also attachment and belonging for the person, no matter how difficult we feel emotionally to be around this person, it still feels familiar and familiarity in an odd way here still feels comforting, still feels like something we don't want to let go. Giving so much of your time and emotions to someone, it's only natural to find it difficult to let them go of entirely or detach from them. Please allow yourself all the time you need to make sense of the situation, process your emotions and do what feels better for yourself while remembering that you deserve a love that's safe, that's generous, that's reassuring and that loves-back. 💛

Who's to say what's normal or not? I don't want to just flat out say "yes, it's normal" but it very much could be your normal. It takes work for a relationship to work out, and sometimes no matter how much we want something to be... it may not always be what's best. When people have been together for x amount of time, feelings grow towards each other and they may fall in love. While I believe love is anal action, it's also something we can feel. Just because a relationship fails and the person broke your heart does not mean the love ends right then and there. As for you, I'm so sorry you are experiencing heart break and there's nothing wrong with still wanting to be in the relationship. I do believe it's in human nature to crave and yearn to want to be with someone who loves and care for us. And I do believe that is something you deserve. I hope within due time your heart heals and you find the love you truly deserve. ♡

Yes, it's normal. It's completely normal. You don't really choose who you love and want to be in a relationship with. What you can choose is whether you'll forgive, and whether you'll stay. And honestly, only you can make that choice.

I think it's extremely common to still want to be with someone that broke our hearts, sometimes attachment and love don't come from the same place and it's worth checking if we are still attached to someone just because they've hurt in the same way other hurt us in the past. Sometimes where are attached to the familiar and new emotions can be scary. Give it time, and stay hopeful.

Feeling drawn to someone after a breakup is a completely natural part of the healing process. Its not uncommon to still care deeply or wonder about the future, even when a relationship ends. These lingering feelings highlight the significance of the connection you shared and the emotional impact it had on you. Everyones path to moving on is different and its perfectly okay to have mixed emotions during this time. Embrace your journey with compassion and remember its a normal part of finding your way forward. you're not alone in this and its all part of the process of rediscovering yourself
