It’s hard to talk to an ex-lover because there’s some feeling of guilt. Sometimes a person may feel like they could’ve saved the relation ship.

That's the golden question. Honestly, it's fear. We're afraid of how they'll react; if they'll be cold or mean to us, or ask us to never talk to them again. We fear if they have someone new, or never loved us, and so many other reasons why.

Because it has a lot of history.. It brings back old memories and wounds which are hurtful and challenging.. It leaves a bad aftertaste.. My heart races weirdly when I talk to my ex.. I don't enjoy it..

I think it is because you are afraid that you may get those feelings back as you know them better than someone new.

Because many times those feelings and past emotions began to rise again. You remember the good and also the bad, it can be difficult.

Because normally, A distance forms due to the memories of what used to be. Where the two of you used to be close, you are no longer so close, and the friction caused by this new distance often makes it more difficult to talk to an ex, or get along with them, until things have moved on, and the two of you can be casual again.

It all depends on the reasons in where you ended things, good, bad or fairly mutual. If anything it would obviously be difficult if things ended pretty bad, but it would be hard also if one of the party's still had feelings and the other didnt.

It can be many things. Might be because of all the memories shared together. Or could be because of guilt or regret based on how it ended.
