I still cry when I think of my ex-boyfriend, even though I have a boyfriend. I love my boyfriend now but I'm confused--do I subconsciously still have feelings for my ex?

    People inclined to remember good memories and forget bad ones.
    Just think why do you broke up with your ex and why do you love your current boyfriend.

    I am 35, married 14yrs 2 kids, great husband, but there are times when I miss and even long for my ex, I still love him, but I know that it couldn't work, so I am happy where I am. You don't have to let go, or stop loving him, you just have to mourn the loss alone, and not let it affect the people around you.

    Maybe. But maybe you aren't mourning the loss of him so much as the loss of the dreams you had about the two of you being together in that romantic forever and always kind of way. Or maybe he had done or said bad things to you in which case thinking of him brings back bad memories. Don't be scared to give yourself time to sort through the memories and feel what you need to feel.

    You may think that you've moved too quickly forward. Sometimes being with someone new can make you realize things weren't so terrible with the person from your past. They can also make you happy and make you realize that you have it better. My ex treated me like crap. He was selfish, ignorant, physically abusive, and always drunk. When he was sober the relationship seemed fairy tale but it was not. I dare say that you miss the best parts because the best parts were truly wonderful. Unfortunately something tore you two apart. If it was truly meant to be, it wouldn't have fallen apart. I believe that entirely. There are people that get back together, but a majority of relationships that end stay that way and in good reason. It sounds to me like maybe you feel guilty for some things you did. My ex left me when he was the one that had the problems. He left me when I needed someone most. He claims he did it because he loved me, but he only did it because he loves himself too much to let me be his life. Hope it all works well with your new boyfriend. Things are so great with mine sometimes I think that I cry because they are so good and I am now being treated really well.

    Probably & you might always. Eventually, you will learn how to deal with those feelings.

    YOu possibly still have alot of great memories with him and that can hurt alot. Thinking about what could or would have been always hurts when you've loved someone and lost them. Most of us hve been here more than once, including me. Good luck sweetie

    I initiated the break up. It was the most devastated decision that i've done in my 26 years of life. I've been with him 5 years and the relationship was always good. He is one of the greatest men i've known and loved. He's financially stable, diligent, smart, generous, and kind. So why did I leave him? Our views in life do not match. It took me 5 years to call it quit. I've moved on and the current relationship is nothing but great. But I cries when i think of my ex and sees the things reminding me of him (e.g. food he likes to eat, breakfast, shirt, shoes that he likes). As time passes by I feel like i'm making the greatest mistake of my life even though the current relationship is going strong. I cries more when i hear songs that remind me of him. I don't know the solution to how I feel and just need time to know which man is the right one for me. I am going to walk this road that i've chosen and hopefully his path and mine will cross again. But then it's unfair for the current boyfriend because he cares for me a lot. Everytime I think about leaving the current boyfriend, my heart feels heavy! Damn i'm one confused person.

    Maybe its because you still havnt fully got over him, because you moved on to quick and didnt give yourself a chance to acually realize what happen with your ex, why you broke up, where were you right, where you were wrong. Sometimes you just have to think about the worst and the best, but you should always do what is best for you, even if it seems like you dont want to. In the longrun you will be very thankful to yourself. I just acually went through this not that long ago.Good luck!
