It depends on the relationship and how deep a connection you had with someone. There are two former loves that despite being extremely hurt by how those relationships ended, I still love, but would never enter into a relationship with them again. The "in love" part is gone and I would never be able to recapture that feeling again. It's OK to still love someone who was once such a big part of your life. Now, my ex-husband? That's a different story. I will hate him until the day I die.
Love is something that last eternal. You will always care if it's love. There my be a period after that you my feel that you don't but it's because of the hurt
I think it is best to move on once a relationship is over.
It is never healthy to pine over people.
Have a cry for about a month and move on.
Think of them only in a memory and know that there is someone better for you out there.
I think of my ex-wife, there were good times but the bad crops in and like an eraser just wipes the good away
I suppose that it depends a great deal on how you, as an individual, deal with loss, but my answer would be yes, it is quite possible to stop loving someone. Yes, it is possible to entirely forget the individual--to the point that you no longer remember his full name.
With me, every loss brings more strength.

I think once you truly love someone, you will always carry them in your heart. Yes you will move on at some point. But that person , that true love will always be there. I have great memories, but I also have the memories of how he hurt me and cheated on me. So there is a mixture . I know he has made it very hard for me to trust again. But I do believe when the right person comes into your life, He can help you move on and build your trust back up.
The mother of my children I still have feelings for, but very little respect.
Yes, you can't carry a ghost inside yur head forever, and time makes everything wearisome.
In the world's harsh wear and tear many a very sincere attachment is slowly obliterated.
Είμαι ταξιδιώτης τόσο στο χρόνο όσο και στο διάστημα
I believe the residue and memory of love may stay, the actual love may not depending on why you leave...
Once you're in my heart, you're there to stay. When a relationship ends, love changes shape, but it doesn't go away, not for me anyway. I can honestly say, that everyone I once truly loved, still has a place in my heart. I hope I can keep that up my entire life.
A little kindness can be so valuable, yet costs almost nothing
In many countries being gay is a crime, and even in modern societies, politicians try to legalise discrimination. Your voice can make a difference. Have a look at All Out to find out how.
Hey... pssst.... that's an l (as in luscious) at the end of my name, not an i I cannot stop loving her-I will always love her--She died 5 years ago from cancer-She always be with me in my heart..Just a different view of a relationship
That seems to be all I find in my personal life is women who are still in love with their ex's. Even if they are in prison
I still love her. I always will
I think it depends on too many things.
Depends on you, your character, how you deal with stuff... and it depends a lot on how and why it ended.
It's also possible to love someone from a safe distance. I believe this is the healthier choice in most cases.
When my ex broke up with me I was really pissed (he didn't choose the best way to do it) and I honestly hated him (or thought I hated him) for a very long time. I didn't want to ever talk to him anymore and I tried to forget the time we were together. I had the feeling that it was time I had lost and that if I could go back, I wouldn't have started anything with him.
After that initial (and long) phase of anger, I noticed that I hadn't been that great in many occasions as well. I started to see the two sides of the story and I realized that I was so angry with him because it was easier than being angry at myself... and I was angry at myself because in many moments I had behaved in a way I didn't like. I didn't want to be that person.
I still wouldn't have talked to him again... but life put us in a situation when we couldn't avoid it. And once we started talking, we established some kind of a friendly relationship.
We're friendly but we are not friends. We live in different countries at the moment and we're in contact via email... not very often though. We help each other when we can with simple things and we have a good laugh every now and then. And we share lots of good memories.
We're both really fond of each other and I think we'll always be. We still find each other attractive (and even talk about it), we love each other but we're not "in love" anymore, we don't want to be together.
I'm very glad of how things are now. It would be horrible if one of us had feelings for the other and were having a bad time. And being angry and full of hate would be just as bad. It's great being in this good place and looking back with a smile.
I've had as well friendships that ended because suddenly my "friend" decided they didn't want to be friends anymore and didn't care much about what I had to say about it. I was shocked or hurt initially but after some time I just decided to deal with it in other way. I can't make anyone to be friends with me, so if they wanted out of my life... I was probably better without them. I don't want them back, but I wish them well and I keep good memories of them.
So in most cases, when a relationship is over, I don't stop loving them... I just decide that is better for me to love them from a distance and go on with my life.
I believe true love never dies. The relationship may end, but the love you had is always there. I have been divorced 4 years, have since remarried, but I still love her, for the life we shared and the love that created two amazing children. No regrets whatsoever.
You never really know your wife till you meet her in divorce court
Will always love her and think about her every day but we will never be able to get together again.
Absolutely. The only past boyfriend I would say that I continue to love is where the relationship ended because he died, not because we broke up. But I don't hate any past boyfriends either - I think they are nice guys, but that is about as far as it goes.
It really depends on how something ends.... Sometimes it's just time to move on, I had a girlfriend in college that I loved, but broke up with because of distance and graduation..... The love was there, life just got in the way....
For me, love doesn't stop so much as evolve. Sometimes into friendship, sometimes into a casual acquaintance, sometimes into hate, sometimes into wistful memories. Rarely does it evolve into indifference. Rarely does it fully end. I'm lucky enough to be friends with quite a few exes (and friends of exes).
