How common are feelings of nostalgia for past relationships?

[HappyWoman34]

I found myself reminiscing tonight, when I had a moment alone, about some of the men with whom I’d previously been in love, as a young woman. One in particular, an Irish Catholic, with whom I lost touch forever after we had an explosive argument. I felt a few seconds of mild regret and sadness, fondness of the memories of the good times we’d shared; then back to the here and now.

I just reached out to an ex to let her know I still treasure the times we had 25+ years ago. She felt exactly the same. Very gratifying and I'm friends with all my exs

I don't dwell on it

Diving into the world of past loves and what-could-have-beens is like your mind's own rom-com marathon, complete with its own soundtrack and dramatic flashbacks. It’s completely normal to feel a wave of nostalgia wash over you every now and then. Memories, especially those tied to emotions as potent as love, have a way of resurfacing when we least expect it. The fact that you experienced a momentary trip down memory lane says more about your capacity for deep feelings than about any lingering attachment to these past flames. It’s part of the rich tapestry of your emotional history, adding depth and color to who you’ve become today. And the fact that you effortlessly returned to the present after a brief visit to the past? That’s a sign of your emotional resilience and maturity. So, let those memories occasionally pass through like a soft breeze, reminding you of the complex, wonderfully emotional being that you are.

Cause it's rarely to find someone who is 100% bad, there will always be some good memories and some bad memories and that's why i always say that when a married couple fights or argue, to never take fast and false decisions, in anh relationship, when you want to quit, before you do, just make a simple calculation, if the positive things are more than the negative things than it's wrong to leave and when the negative things are a lot more than the positive things and couldn't be fixed or the other half isen't willing to fix them than you can make your call!

Imagine some people, you have been treating them the best treatment but as soon as you make a simple mistake, they erase all your goodness and only remember this shallow negative thing that you did and make you appear as a bad person!

You should reconnect with him next week. & don't get scared or make any excuses either. It'll just be talking; nothing serious like proposing marriage to him 😄. Those feelings came back for a reason. Next week, young lady.

I think I have those feelings a lot more than I should. I think about my ex a lot, and when I do it sends me down a pretty heavy spiral for a while.

[MsBrie]

Not much for me but then I've only had one successful long term relationship as far as dating.

I think about friend all the time.

Where I go in the summer makes me think of a girl I knew when I was in high school.

[RedInnocent69]

Very. You never truly get over anyone in the sense that the things that turned you on about them don’t just go away.

[Abbycado]

Yeah, I think that is perfectly normal.
