There is a possibility that you still have feelings for him or her. That alone would make it difficult plus if they cheated it'll be hard for you not to still picture them with the person they cheated on you with.

It's hard to talk to an ex of any sort because of the history involved. You shared a special time together, good or bad, and that is considered history, your past. It's hard to talk to them because sometimes even if you remain friends with said person, it does not stay how it was before, and things changed.

if you have a history of feelings and intimate experiences with an individual, having a regular conversation can seem very upsetting, depending on the circumstances surrounding the break up.

It's hard because you share so much history together, it's hard to talk to a person like a stranger when you know so much about them! Treating them like a stranger after being with them intimately is always going to be hard but give it time, it'll fet better

Because you fear that you may fall for them again. its always hard to face someone you walked away from or vice versa.

because you might not know if they are dating someone and you dont know if they moved on and you havent yet.

It can be so hard because when you see them, not only do you see who they are, but you remember everything you went through with them and everything you thought about them.

It's because of the past you two share. You spent a whole lot of time together, and sometimes you remember that. It's hard to talk to an ex especially if the break-up is fresh, but after a couple of years, the pain starts to heal and you can eventually talk normally again

Often I find it is because there is so much history, talking to them is almost like a trigger to bring back the unfortunate memories. Especially when I have expelled someone from my life, try as I might it seems the main things I remember about them are negative.
