Is it normal that im still madly in love with my ex?

My boyfriend recently broke up with me and ive been extremly depressed lately. lately there hav been some rumors that he has been saying things like ''ya my ex girlfriend was annoying cuz when ever we held hands she giggled'' ive been depressed, i havent been eating or drinking much, i dont get out anymore, i rarely talk to my freinds, ive had freqeunt head aches and im losing weight rapidly. many of my freinds think that he wasnt good enough 4 me and he was a jerk. thats not the way i see it. hes still the wonderful little cute nerdy sweetheart to me.when he broke up with me i had thoughts of suicide and i felt like nobody loved me. my parents dont know anything about the way i feel and that he just dumped me thats all. my freinds recently cussed him out and he just called them stupid bitches. im not mad at him tho. (ok i admit just a lil bit mad cuz sisters b4 misters.) his friend thinks that him(the friend) and me are friends and we are. (no cheating my ex with him, i promise, he not some one i would like to date) my friends asked him why he broke up with me and he didnt answer so they asked him if suspected if i was cheating on him and he said no. so just broke up with me 4 no reason at all. one night i had a dream that me and my good freind went ou to dinner and we were talking and all of a sudden my ex walks up and sits on my freinds lap.she dousnt seem 2 notice but i do. then he starts doing some pretty heavy flirting with her and then i woke up crying with a bad headache. the next night i had the exact same dream but it was 1 of my other good freinds. woke up the same way. is this normal? plz i need answers!

  • Some people take breakups harder than others, like yourself. Just because he's a jerk doesn't mean you can just shut off your feelings. You are completely normal. It's ok to feel hurt, just let it run it's course. Eventually, you will be thinking back and ask yourself if you ever *really* were in love with him. Believe me. At the right time, someone else will come along. Meanwhile enjoy being single!

  • whoa you are severely emotionally a mess. my advice is if someone you think you love is doing this to you, you cant possibly imagine living this way, doing this to yourself.

    think about yourself you are suffering that is no way to live your life

    he is not the one for you this sounds blunt but you will have to get over him

  • This is exactly why I would never post relationship problems on any sites its better to talk to a real life friend people are so cruel the person that post the question sounds like a teenager some are so caught up in their lives they forget what its like to be a teenager in love I don't find her question pathetic and needy she's broken hearted we've all been through it one time or another no need to say such hurtful things love is not a tap that you can turn on or off because a guy treats you like shit you can just stop loving him it takes time to heal and move on everyone handles break ups differently some internalize others cry and be depressed for weeks months or even years thoughts of suicide sounds somewhat normal its not that you really truly want to do it because you would have done it already its just a reflection of how badly you're hurting you'll be over this guy sooner rather than later I hope

  • Hey,

    I'm still madly in love with my Ex even though she treat me like shit, cheated on me, lied and then didn't even have the guts for the last goodbye in person after spending 5 years of my life doing everything for her. So I do know how you feel. I was depressed before we broke up, and I felt even worse after. A bunch of bad things happened to me at once and it SUCKED!

    It is normal, and I too have felt this way as have MANY others. Some people 'feel' more than others, or deeper or... hell I'm not quite sure exactly what it is. People can over think things, I know I do. But things do get better, slowly but surely. Got to let them build, one step at a time in a positive direction.

    A good friend told me some good advice that at the time I refused to accept and it angered me. She told me to quit all hope of ever getting back with my ex. To forget about her and move on. I almost kicked and screamed, but I really had no choice. It has begun working, afterall it has almost been a year.

    Why he'd say that about you is beyond me because I find that a cute thing. Maybe he was just trying to look strong in front of his friends?

    I'm sure your a very nice girl and you shouldn't let this bring you down. Don't change for no one. Live life how YOU like, and most importantly - find yourself! 'cause as much as I don't know you, or what you are about. I am confident in believing this is NOT who you are. Or you wouldn't be posting here like this.

    Take care. :).

  • -sigh- get over it and stop making other things in your life go wrong just because you partner dumped you. Why is it that its always 16-19 year old girls that always act so pathetic during split ups (Men do it too I know but not as much as women). That part of your life is over you can either take pride and move on with your life or wallow is self pity making the rest of the things in your life pathetic. You had a life before you met the guy so go back to that life and stop acting so pathetic. Whats so irritating about people like you is that you know what all these "problems" (I use the term lightly) are and instead of actualy trying to sort them you sign up to a website and complain about it even though you can easily change it. Its normal.

  • Stay strong you will get over him. Just keep reminding yourself your worth more than he can give you and you will meet some one else one day.

  • Rayst, the majority of us don't love to he treated likeable at all. But some of the things people do seem impossibly cruel, so we've hope that they'll come to their senses. Half the time we know they won't, but I swear women are born with false hope.
    It's a nasty world to us, and it makes us look like idiots, but trust me, something in our head IS justifying us sticking around.

  • I will never understand why girls love to be treated even worse than shit. After all, one doesnt talk behind the back of the shit he's just dumped.

    • i dont "love" to be treated like shit! and ur calling me shit?! >:o

  • So he dumped you and supposedly is now trash talking you behind your back.

    So... he's treating you like crap, but somehow he's still worth loving?

    I guess you could go on offering your heart to him.
    I mean nothing says "I love you too and I deserve all of your love" like having him toss your love into the garbage and insult you repeatedly.

    O_o

      • That you know of.

        That's the thing... if he says it to one, who's to say he won't be saying it to others.

        Sometimes, no matter how much you want someone, you can't force them to come back to you... especially if they're starting to talk about you behind your back.
