Is it okay to still be in love with your ex?

Question

I've got it BAD!

I've got it bad for my ex-girlfriend

We're now friends but it's hard talkin to her and knowing she's not mine.

Answer 1

it's normal to still feel things for your ex especially in certain situations like if you were together a long time or if the person left u but u didn't want them to, etc. this is normal and it's ok because it is a process for u to get over the person which takes some people more time than others.

Answer 2

I know it happens - I got dumped back in May & I'm still real ambivalent about him. Sometimes I think I'd go back with him in a heartbeat, other times I'd just like to slap the snot out of him, but there are still feelings there. Depending on your break-up situation, whether it was painful, friendly, if you dumped him, whatever - you may want to talk with him about how you feel. Who knows? It could lead to something special. If you've already talked with him & you know he doesn't want you back, then I'd say you'll have to learn how to put him behind you & move along when you are ready. Good luck my dear - I hope you do well!!!

Answer 3

Yes, but you have to try to move on adventually! If not you may miss the chance to be with someone new and maybe better. After all he is your ex for a reason, what ever it may be. You can't spend the rest of your life looking back, so turn around and look forward, forward to new possibilities.

Answer 4

I think that it is okay as long as you are not going overboard with it. Everyone knows that sometimes it takes a while to get over the one you love and if it was true love you may never get over him, but with each day that goes by it gets easier and one day you will find someone(maybe him) to love you the way you want and deserve. so i say you can still love him but just don't close yourself to others because maybe he is making room for mister right.

Answer 5

It's not okay to be "in love" with your ex but it is okay to still love that person even though you are not together. You can love that person but you need to move on because that is what they are doing. Like someone else said, there is a reason why you aren't together anymore.

Answer 6

You can't turn love off like a water faucet. It's ok to have those feeling but be careful of your actions toward those feelings. He's an Ex for a reason.

Answer 7

Life Lesson Number 1: All emotions have validity. It is behavior that dictates results.

Whenever you think about calling Romeo, think about the reasons you call him your "ex". The memories of that pain can help you remember what NOT to in the next relationship.

Answer 8

Love doesn't evaporate. If you loved this man for a long time, then it's ok but be ready for rejection. If you have started dating someone else, they may not take it so nicely. I think this is for you to decide what to do with your love life. Good luck though and I hope things work out.

Answer 9

Until you get over him, you will still have feelings for him. Start dating other people again and that might help. The best way to get over a person (in my opinion) is to never contact that person again.

Answer 10

you don;t ever stop loving the one's you were in love with from the past. It might not be love. you just miss him. But when you start another relationship you should cary that along with you. It;s bad luck! in your heart you'l alwyas love your ex. but you will never "BE". you'll get over him. It takes time.
