Do you still love your ex?

Question

I still love an ex of mine. I have let go, but I was thinking about him the other day and I realized a big part of me does still him. He was the first person I had a real relationship with and he was my first love. But we broke up a little over 2 years ago. I feel kind of pathetic for having lingering feelings for him, but its hard to keep them away when he always send me mixed messages. Like a couple weekends ago he told me that when I went out that I should let him know cus he'd come, and that he was always bored and blah blah blah. Then ill text him and he doesn't text me back/acts short with me. Once we got into an argument when we were drunk and he threw in my face the fact that I had dated other guys but he hasn't dated anyone since me... why would he do that?

Do you still love an ex of yours? how long did you break up?

I do very much.

We were together a total of almost 5 years, on and off admittedly, and we broke up almost a year ago. I love him so so much, and after half of year of not seeing or speaking to him at all, we met up to clear everything and he blurted out he still loved me.

We are trying again, and been very happy so far. We are both more maturely equal now.

We are still ex's though, we're not in a relationship, but we're working on it.

Like you he is my first love, my first relationship, my best friend, my best everything. We've had some awful times, but I could never let him go, even when he tried to be horrible for my sake, to help me let him go. But I just couldn't.

Everyone tells me you're first you'll never forget and there's always a part of them that remains.

But, everyone says, an ex is an ex for a reason. Very true. But they were also a partner for a reason. You're relationship may have failed but you got together through attraction and love, and if nothing else, you'll have beautiful memories of that person :)

I voted B, because a part of me will always love my exes that I was serious with. Though we didn't work out and are exes for a reason, there are still things about them that I did and always will love as a person.

Its not really the same love that it was though.. if that makes sense or not I don't know its the best way I can explain lol.

When I broke up with my ex (about 7 months ago) I told him that I would always love him. Now, I don't think that there's any part of me that could love him again. It was a terrible relationship and I see that now that I'm in a relationship where I'm treated properly and appreciated.

So no, I don't still have feelings of love for my ex.

In my mind I still love her, but not in my heart.

I miss the revised memory of us. The big times we went through and the good times are all cast in a better light. The bad times and pain are forgotten. Theoretically that could be revived and we could love each other again, but it's a lot more likely that Tebow will go back to the Denver Broncos. In essence, not going to happen. Ground control says it's a no go.

I remember the fact that there was a lot of friction, and I know that we'll never be the same together. It's been over twelve years since it fell apart. We share a son, but she's thankfully been so distant that we're like people who work for the same company in different cities.

Two years isn't that long for a big love. You can either go back to him and try to make it work, maybe find a smart bartender to moderate your discussions or something, or you can just forget him, stop talking to him and it will fade away.

My ex is a heartless bitch who left me without a warning despite having a great relationship. At first I was mad and missed her, but then I realized that I had been conned by someone who really didn't care about my heart, so why should I care for her? Feeling for her wouldn't make any sense, as it was a lie all along. I moved on to new girls and have deleted her completely from my life.

JohnDoReMi · Answer

I voted yes. I don't think my ex would agree with me one bit if I were to say that I still loved her after everything that I did to her, to myself, and to our relationship (long story short - we'd had a huge fight, I was a weak and pitiful wreck, and another female acquaintance came onto me for a reason I'm still not sure of, so I ended up "cheating"), but I've been in love with her since last year's Fourth of July. We spent 8 hours straight that evening (and going into the morning of the 5th) just sitting; talking occasionally, but mostly just listening to the sounds of each others' breathing. We weren't together at the time, so there was no intimacy, but I knew in that moment that I was in love with her, and I haven't swayed from that since.

I love you, no matter what you or anyone you know may think.

My ex and I broke up (for good this time) about 5 months ago. Before that, we were on and off for 3 years but when he broke up with me this last time, I said I was just done. I just couldn't do it anymore, because it just felt like a game at that time, an endless cycle of on and off and I was so sick of it. I don't love him anymore because he wasn't the same person I fell in love with.

Anonymous · Answer

No, but mostly because it was an online thing. I did love her but the distance just made it really hard for it to seem real after we broke up, yknow? And in all honesty I had started to drift away from her even before we broke up (but for all she knows, the breakup was because of reasons we couldn't control). About halfway into the relationship, when I was most in love with her, I guessed that if we were to break up for reasons we couldn't control, I would keep loving her for a long time after, but in reality I stopped loving her near the end of the relationship. Unfortunately she kept loving me for a while after, and now I think she still kind of feels she loves me somewhere in her heart but has moved on mostly.

Its been 4 years so I don't know if I'm in love with her or the idea of her. But I've never been able to get her off my mind.

snowangle · Answer

I will always have something there for my first love I believe. We broke up almost 2 years ago, and I don't miss him or wish for him back anymore, but I think I do still love him. I see him occasionally because we have the same group of friends, and I still melt on the inside whenever I see him smile.

TheGodEmperorLeto · Answer

I thought I did, but I realized I loved the ex for who she was, not who she became. I was still trying to believe she was still that same girl that really was worth loving and such, but never anymore. She's not the same. So meh.

Prettygurl12 · Answer

I never loved my ex to begin with...of course, that might have something to do with us being 16...lol I know if my current boyfriend ever became my ex, I'd be hung up on him for the rest of forever, though.

DoctorKillJoy · Answer

well its alittle different for me he moved we were still together , his mom was racist she broke his laptop and his phone shut off the house phone and a whole bunch of other stuff so we couldn't talk and his Facebook was deleted so we lost contact but never broke up I lost my v card to him and we dated for almost 5 years. it was pretty hard to get over him

DiamondKutt · Answer

No. I'm referring to my first boyfriend, the longest boyfriend I've had since the others ended very abruptly. I was with him when I was 14, I'm almost 20 now. I stopped pretty much all contact with him after I graduated HS (we were friends after our break-up for some years). I've since realized that he was pretty much emotionally & mentally abusive to me, during our relationship & especially while we were still friends.

front2back · Answer

No that's why she's my ex. Besides a few months after the breakup she got fat so what do I care.

Faithfulman2 · Answer

I'm in love with my girlfriend now, she will be my first and only love. I never loved any of my exes and I'm happy they're out of my life they were bad women.

Littletad · Answer

Very much yea, even after being dumped. I have gotten over it, but loving someone isn't something you can stop.

sikoo31 · Answer

a hell to the f*** to the hella no. stopped loving her after like a month.  idk if I ever really did love her sometimes really.  sometimes I think I was more in love with love than with her.

Xx_DRE_xX · Answer

Well I still have love for her, but I'm not in love with her.

Nicefuture · Answer

Let me think about it? hmm I've let him go and accepted the reality that he is not what I was looking for but you know, great times.

raven333 · Answer

I think we control if I want to get over our ex or not. Sometimes, we just need to stay away from that person who we want to try to hold onto so much. It's hard but, similar to any addiction, you just need to stay away from temptation. I

martyfellow · Answer

I still love each and every one.   I don't understand people who hate all their exes...only if you yourself made a big mistake can you hate someone you once were involved with, right?   You're saying you hate something about YOURSELF>..

Little-Hippie · Answer

No. I no longer feel for her at all. She gained a ton of weight, and once I no longer had physical attraction to blind me, I realized that we're really not compatible in any other aspect either.
