I still love my ex. Should I feel this way?

I love everyone's answers and yet I have a problem with it. Who says that love dies? Who says it goes away? Who thinks they honestly have the knowledge to tell you you're love is not still real, that's its this or that? Rubbish! Sometimes love really does stand the test of time. That being said, they don't always love us the same way in return. That's the part we must learn to live with. That's the part that keeps us up at night, makes us cry at random moments, keeps us very aware that its still there. Only God knows how your love story will be written....don't let others dismiss what they don't understand.

Well, yes. Everyone always loves their ex's for some reason no matter what and usually the love lingers for a long while. I think if you still love your ex, it's completely okay.

Loving someone is something that cannot be stopped. However, is loving your ex healthy for you? Does it make you happy? or does it make you feel resentful or pitiful? If you think you find meaning by doing so, then, it's always your choice. But, if you don't think it will do any good, then, you can always start by loving yourself again. Then, maybe, when you're ready, a new love (with your ex or not) will come to you.

Its completly normal if you do. A lot of people have extreme difficulty getting over the person they loved. It takes time, and you should allow yourself to have time to just think and really find closure. And move on when your ready.

It is definitely OK to feel that way. I still love my ex as well. However, I do not think it is wise to keep yourself hung up on him/her because this is your life and you should take control of it. Letting yourself stay in love with your ex will keep you distracted from all the other guys/girls that could be potentially better relationship partners.

If you truly loved them then you will always hold a small part of them in your heart. People that you form close relationships will contribute to who you are as a person even if you had drifted apart. There is no wrong or right way to feel

That's completely normal! Everyone goes through what you're going through, you are not alone. If it was a good relationship and it ended on good terms, take those good memories and experiences with you into the next relationship. If it was one that left a bad taste in your mouth, and realize that you are worth more

Love is a natural feeling. It is in our nature to love, and that is okay. Do not feel bad about these feelings, but more so learn from them

You will always have feelings for your ex, but you have to realize that the feelings you have will always be there, how you react and acknowledge them.

It's pretty normal to still love an ex. You loved this person enough to be in a relationship so it's not likely the feelings will automatically go away once the relationship ends. The thing about feelings is there's not real wrong or right way to feel in certain circumstances. If you told me you sat in your room looking at old photos of your ex all day, then I'd tell you that probably wasn't a good idea. But the simple act of feeling is part of being human. Likely, those feelings will eventually fade as you put more distance between yourself and that relationship.

It is ok to feel that way for a little while but you have to let go of them sooner or later. It isn't easy but you have to think of what is best for you and them.

It's normal to still have feelings for your ex. Everyone gets over their exes at their own pace. It may take some people a few days and other may take a few months or even years to get over their exes. It all depends on the situation and the type of person you are

It's totally normal, feelings just don't go away just because you guys aren't together any more, with time and support things should get better!

If s/he doesn't feel the same way. Don't push yourself into him/her. It might be bad at you and for him.

Yes, it's usual to feel that way. The best thing you possibly can do is to go out and meet some people who will make you forget about her!

It depends on how long you two have been broken up, if its only been a few days then yes of course! you where in love, its normal to still love this person, if its been a while since you two broke up, thats okay too! These things take time.

"Should" or "should not" isn't really the question here, since there usually aren't any right or wrong answers when it comes to feelings and emotions. It's normal to still love someone you once shared a connection with, even if that person has hurt you in the past.

Depending on how things ended, it's normal to feel this way. Someone that used to be a huge part of your life soon became someone that is out of your life. Be sure to ask yourself if you love him or the thought of him. Those are two different questions that you need to ask and evaluate. Just remember that the both of you broke up for a reason.

You are definitely allowed to feel this way, it took me 4 years to finally get over my boyfriend. It seems like the end of the world and that things wont change, but they will and they do. Eventually you will stop noticing him, you'll stop caring about what he's posting on social media, and you wont want to talk to him anymore. You wont miss him. I don't know if you ever really do stop loving him, but you'll learn to deal with it, and accept it and he wont matter anymore. There's a reason he isnt in your life anymore. He's gone now, so that someone better can come along. It may be the hardest thing in the world to see right now, but there is someone better out there for you. There will always be someome better than the last. I promise.

Love is a complex feeling and it does not simply vanish. While we do usually forget our old loves, it does take time so residual feelings after a breakup, and even some time after that, are completely normal.

No one can tell you how you should or should not feel, even if they did it would not change how you really feel. If you still love your ex, contemplate if there were things left unresolved and if there was anything you would feel comfortable doing to reach out. If not, time will heal all wounds. Maybe a bit of you will always love them, and that's not wrong either. You can be stronger every day from carrying that love with you.

loving your ex is not a sin... but crying on the past and not letting yourself moving forward will let you face challenges..

I can't tell you what you should or should not feel because it's your feeling and not mine. However, if you've decided to end the relationship or your partner did then maybe trying to get over them is the best thing for you to do, unless there's a chance for you to get back together with them and that's what you both want :)

Being a human it's pretty natural to feel that way .. But again u should know whm to let in ur life and whom not ! EX became EX because of some reason!

Love is unlimited. You’ll never know how much love you’re able to give and especially to feel. It’s normal to feel this way, to still love someone even after days, months or years go by. And it may fade way or maybe it won’t. You can’t change your feelings, but you can learn to let go. I still love this silly boy. I met him when I was only thirteen. I barely knew what love was and I certainly did not know what it can do to you. Many years later I still love him. He still crosses my mind every once in a while and I still compare him to every guy I meet. You know, loving him isn’t wrong. I would still date that cute guy I saw in Starbucks today, I would still spent that long summer night kissing the boy I chased for twee weeks in Spain and I would definitely marry the guy who loves me more than anything. Love is unlimited. And you need to accept the love you feel for someone you can no longer have. Learn to let go and you WILL find happiness again.

Yes but only for a period of time if your over do It and keep your love for he/she then this would be called love addiction

Everyone has hard times, and can't get over someone. It takes a while for love to stop, considering on who ended it first.

Why not? is there something wrong with that? love is a spontaneus sensation,it's completely normal!

Yes, I still do love my ex but that does not mean you have to be with them. You guys can just be friends - just remember your broke up for a reason.

It is normal to feel this way. Anyone goes through this after a breakup. It'll take time and patience to learn to get over an ex.
