Can a new relationship still work if you still have feelings for your ex partner?

You? Or him?
You need to understand that if you truly loved someone you never really get 'over them'. You'll always have fond memories. Old memories are replaced by new ones, but that doesn't mean the old ones just disappear.
This question get asked over and over and over again, and I'm not really sure why. But if you are still pining away from someone that dumped your ass then probly not. If you're thinking or hoping one day you'll get back with them, which is 99% never going to happen, then yeah, probly not gonna work.
People need to be realistic. More in touch with what is real and true. Not some mind-fuck fantasy.

I could not agree more with you!

[OlderAndWiser]

No exactly diplomatic, but exactly what she needs to hear. You said it all;. no need for me to respond because I would say the same.

That really depends on how deep or how obvious they are on the surface. If every time a tv character that shares your exes name comes on you spend hours crying in the bathroom then yea, things are not looking to hot for you and your new fling. But know this... starting a new relationship before you are completely done with, over with, and you have yourself mentally put back together is on some level sabotaging your new relationship. And that is an extremely selfish and careless thing to do. You could be potentially destroying possibly the a mate who is perfect for you before you two even get started

[BattleKitten77]

No. And it is selfish to put someone in that position. Only a boring stupid sorry ass who can't be alone uses someone like that. I hate people who cannot be alone. They are scum of the earth. Get a personality some hobbies a life. People are not meant to be used like that

[GlitterDragon]

No. I’ve been on so many dates with guys who aren’t over their ex (I didn’t know this until the date) and they always end up running back to their ex and leaving me confused.

[Pinay_ako]

Absolutely not. You shouldn't be rushing into a new relationship yet until you are fully over the ex

[jennifer_bloom]

I currently have more one person I'm interested in and I decided I will date the one who chases after me.

[lava3]

Probably not because in your mind you just going to be comparing everything your new partner does to your ex and I believe no one should get into another relationship until fully healed from the previous one rushing into relationships is how people hurt innocent people.

Took the words right out of my mouth

No. You're only rebounding + you are emotionally cheating on your new partner.

What's so difficult about staying single and process your emotions and take the time to get to know yourself and learn self love? People are so pathetic. It's no wonder relationships rarely work out these days.

[JoeyH101]

It really depends on the person. I was able too. I went through a bad breakup and I knew I talked about my ex a lot so I brought it up to my new girlfriend and asked why she didn't say anything. Her response was she knew what I was going through and she wanted to be there when I got out. So I pulled myself away from my ex complaining because I now fell for her after that talk. However some it doesn't work out that way and your partner might get tired of you not being over your ex.

[JoeyH101]

Completely*

First before you get into a new relationship you must get over your ex or you will be relapsing with your new relationship and it won't work out you might end up blaming him/or her in reality it's you are in fault but you won't except it so you should fully get over your ex and walk through a new door

[markscott]

If you mean anything more than a slight hangover of feelings, then the person should not be in a new relationship. Work through the feelings first. Then you will be ready for a new relationship.

[GreenPenguin]

Yes.

I've always said that the only way to really get over someone is to find a relationship that is either equal to or better than the previous one.

[AdHdSqUiRrEl]

I highly doubt it. Plus it wouldn't be fair considering that you're not giving your all to your new partner.

[madgoat]

I guess it depends if you have found a meaningful space in your heart for your new partner, and how strong the bond is with your ex.

[MannMitAntworten]

Limgering feelings for exes always sabotage current relationships.

[Anonymous]

Highly unlikely. You’ll be comparing far too much and not appreciating the new partner enough I imagine.

[Anonymous]

No, no it cannot. In my experience, three failed relationships all came down to me not being over an ex girlfriend. I didn’t fully realise it was the cause back then, nor a few months after the break ups. I couldn’t give those women 100%.

[LIM1T]

Short answer: no - it would complicate everything with your current partner

[FrostyLuna]

No... you're start comparing your new partner to your ex which will hurt if not annoy the person and you'll feel like they aren't good enough then your relationship will end or become an unhappy one

[Anonymous]

Probably not , Thank goodness I don't have this problem.

[PopeGregoryIX]

Difficult but it can work. It may be that a rebound relationship is what you need to move on...

[Xavier1954]

I dont think so as your new partner would be fighting against the ghost of your past relationship

[samael_kmarty]

Its too difficult. But yes it can work.

[bulletbob555]

Possible but not as likely
