Jude's avatar

It has been months, maybe, years since you broke up with your ex and maybe, you have gone on to having other relationships (or not); do you feel that part of you still loves your ex?

Yup – It’s been over 35 years and I would love to hear what he’s doing with himself.

Nope. Time made some clarity.

Some exes, yes.

I can’t say I still love him, but I am grateful for the good times and every now and then I wonder how he’s doing.

Absolutely not. I’m grateful for the experience, but I don’t really care what he’s up to, or how he’s doing, or what his life is like.

Definitely not.
‘nuff said.

I always wonder about her. I think if you ever really love someone than a part of you remains with that person and she with you regardless of where your separate paths take you. True love never dies but relationships change.

Not at all.

My first love feels like a big brother to me now. Finally after 5 years we’ve gotten over all the shit we threw back and forth and have waved the white flags. He was one of the first people I called after my most recent breakup.
And now of course I’m back to the oh-so-dramatic “I will never love again…” feeling. And I just have to keep in mind my other exes. :sigh:

I would think it would be pretty hard not too-unless he or she was a complete 100% jerk. I think one person grows while the other doesn’t and the one who does grow, vaguely recalls what they loved or were attracted to the person to begin with, but it’s usually the love of certain personas of that person, and may still can be magnetic.

It’s hard to permanently erase ALL trace of them, yes. In most cases, anyway.

If I still loved them, I would hope I’d be with them.

I care deeply for one of my exes, we’re good friends. It’s been quite a few years, and we’ve both moved on…we can even give each other relationship advice! oh, the irony
I also have exes that I never talk to, I do wonder what they’re up to..but not enough to maintain a friendship.

Thinking of two or three, some part of me does, yes. Each one of them had something nobody else has had. Maybe it’s that special part that something in me still loves. But I had reasons for moving on and have never wished to go back.

You can love many people BUT can you live with them ? Just because you move on that does not mean you did or do not still love them.
