Is it normal to still love my ex when he continues to hurt me?

We've been broken up for a while now and he even has a new girlfriend. He broke my heart so I'm still recovering which takes time although I sometimes feel like I should be over it by now. He's lowkey came at me a few times on social media and I've continued to be nothing but good to him, I can't help it. I've never been weak for a man but he was my person, the love of my life.

    This is the story of my life *crap lol. Your head is telling you (no) to move on and it's telling you that boy no good for you...but that heart(yes), the freaken heart hold so much love for the stupid dude. It's not healthy (speaking from experience), but you probably already know that. Holding on to the pass is never good, his living is life while your still standing there holding on to the hope that he will come back, because what you have is a strong love... and the universe will somehow see that and you will be back together, but NO you won't! what I learned is that I will always hold strong felling for my ex, I came to terms with that(you should to). It's okay to still have feelings for someone even after breaking up. That doesn't mean that I want to get back with him tho lol. We weren't a good fit, as I started dating again I learned just how we weren't for each other, just how didn't have similar views on certain things, mind you we broke up on good terms and are still friends. So.. what I am trying to say is that it's okay to still have feelings for him, just don't wait up for him, and if you seriously think about it your currently the second best in his eyes (his girlfriend is first) and I always say NEVER BE SECOND BEST IN SOMEONE EYES (romantic interest), you should always be first.

    Anyways, take one step at a time. You first need to get out there and date. Dating other people makes you learn a lot of thing about yourself and it also make you reflect on what want's right in your past relationship. People used to tell me that when I met that special person that I would just moved on from my ex lol and I never believed them. I always told them it was easier said then done, but boyyyy was I wrong. After multiple failed date and meeting people that wasn't right for me, I met the most incredible man just a few weeks ago and my ex just disappeared, and this guy took the front sit in my heart lol, and he did that just from the first meeting. I know I wrote so much (bad grammar and all), but I couldn't help it! you remind me so much of the pass me when I was dealing with the same thing.

    I wouldn't call it normal per se, but rather I would say it's common. Regardless it's not good for you.

    Normal that your feelings for your ex didn't magically disappear. You need to pursue a new relationship and ideally, a more fulfilling and commited one.

    Normal if you're an emotional masochist
