Why is it so hard to talk to an ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend?

Its hard because its awkward. Becoming an ex means you decided that this relationship wont works. Also pressure from people around you

I suppose it’s hard because at one stage they would think you were the most amazing person in the world and would share everything with you and it’s not like that now so you don’t know how to act or how to talk to them anymore

It’s so hard to talk to an ex because you remember all the good they have done. You remember all of your good memories. They became your best friend during the relationship. So it’s hard because you remember that they are your ex now. It’s hard because you realize that you won’t be making any good memories with them anymore. That door is closed and part of you doesn’t want to move on. But the healthiest choice is to move on and take time for yourself

Becuase the people you used to own completely are now not yours.. and its difficult to accept it easily and completely let go it..

It's because you are constantly reminded of how he/she meant to you, you reminisce about the past that you spend with them, the memories, the hugs, the cuddles, the laughter, the jokes, the kisses, the make out sessions. It is hard, I'm going through the very same phase myself, you'll get over it once you have another person fill the space, I'm certain of that. For now, try to keep it to minimal conversation

I guess its because of the fact that they have been a big part of your life once upon a time. You loved them but it didn't felt like thats enough. It hurts to talk to them again after feeling the hurt the breakup made you feel.

The memories are the hardest to move on from. When a relationship shatters, our fragile hearts do the same. There is a trace of that person everywhere. It's hard to talk to the same person again, and pretend nothing had happened--that those memories will stay in the past. It takes courage and acceptance for both parties to open communication again.

Because that one person once meant a lot to you. It's difficult to face someone after all of that. It may take time but you'll be able to talk to them again.

There could be many reasons. You've had a history with that person and either you left on good terms or bad ones. Either way, there are many thoughts running through someone's mind; thoughts of anger, loneliness, sadness, regret, maybe even happiness for ending the relationship. Either way, everyone's story is different, but the one thing that remains the same is the fact that a history can make it hard to talk to an ex.

Sometimes, when you have specific feelings for some people. It's hard to accept that you cannot talk the same way to them or about them, that you cannot do the things you used to do, or seeing them with someone else. Some people might not be able to accept the facts that their ex don't need or want them anymore. Especially when you feel so much towards them, and they "used to" feel too. But it's done.
