I think it's hard to talk to an ex because of all the feelings still involved. Breakups are often messy and recovering from them can be a pretty weird journey. When one has to talk to them it can bring all that stuff back up leaving one flustered and full of emotions that are hard to deal with.

its hard to talk to a ex because you may still have pent up aggression towards them and after a break up you may want to still fight and argue with them

Its hard because 1) You may or may not still like/love them. If you do still love them it makes it nearly impossible to look in there direction(if they left you)if you left, its out of embrassment. 2) Awkwardness. Love or hate, you two are awkward.

In my opinion, I would find it hard when there are unresolved tensions or breaking up on a bad note. Also, I find it difficult if there were years spent together with that person and seeing them would bring back memories, good and bad. I feel once I gained more experience and more self awareness, it made things easier for me to be civil with an ex.

It is hard only when you still have feelings for them. If you don't have any feelings left, I believe you can talk.

When you have shared so much of yourself to someone and you end up getting hurt, you feel betrayed. It becomes difficult for you to open up again to the person who hurt you.

It is hard due to the relationship that you had with with. You collected a series of memories that are and always will be a part of your life. It is hard due to those memories that have been created.

Memories hurt. And it will always come back to you because at one point, that person was someone you love and someone who brought you so much happiness. No matter how it ended, it's always difficult talking to them again knowing that once upon a time, they were the one of the most important person in your life. There will be so much 'what ifs' and 'could've been' but everything is not the same anymore.

A lot of feelings and unanswered questions can linger long after a relationship has ended. It can also be hard to know if the other person is at the same or a different place than you in their healing process. All of these feelings are natural, and it's important to be patient with ourselves as we work through them.
