Is it normal to still think about your ex after 3 months, though you only dated for around two months, and get sad and nostalgic? You see, me and this guy were friends for around 7 months before we dated, and I liked him the whole time. We were close friends for awhile and he had no idea I liked him until I told him, and then be proceeded to tell me he liked me too. It was such a good feeling because I knew I had taken the time to work on our relationship, and I thought everything was fine until he told me he didn't want to be with me anymore. I was really sad for awhile, and angry. Now we don't really talk, and it honestly pains me because we used to be so close. I'm not sad about us breaking up as much as I just miss my friend. I've tried everything to let him know I miss our friendship but of course I was ignored. I eventually gave up. I didn't obsessively text or stalk him, and now we just don't talk. I stumbled upon an old picture of us before we dated and I got really sad. Please tell me if this is normal? If anything is unclear please let me know.

    Yes it's normal to miss a loss friendship, you can't replace ppl right? So it's normal to mourn that loss, but with time and new friends the loss will fade.

    I still think of my ex after 5 months even though the relationship only lasted for three months, after she ended it i still had to see her at college every day so we remained friends untill the end of year. occasionally something will remind me and i'll think of days we spent together just the little things like hugging and watching a film and i'll miss her, our friendship and our relationship all over again. It's normal. I hope you feel bettrr soon

    Yes, this is normal and I know exactly how you feel. I was good friends with this girl for seven months until I finally told her I liked her. She didn't feel the same way and she felt awkward towards me so she quit being my friend. For the next two months I was extremely depressed. It wasn't even because she rejected me. It was because I lost my best friend. Anyway, we ended up making up and we're friends, but we're still not as close as we used to be. She's always talking to our other friend over me, and I'm starting to think she likes him or she's trying to make me jealous. Anyway we were very close, we talked every day, she sat by me everyday at lunch, and we talked on the phone for hours. We don't do that anymore, and sometimes when I think about how things went from how they used to be to how they are now, I actually tear up a bit. So yes it's normal, and I know how you're feeling. I hope things get better for you soon. If you ever need to talk to someone, you can message me, because I feel like we're in the same boat and it's always nice to have someone to talk to.
