Break Ups What A Pain – I Am Still In Love But My Ex Isn’t
Ugh! Break ups are such a pain. Bad splits are difficult, but sometimes it’s the friendly break ups that are the worst. After all, there are no hard feelings (in theory) to make you never want to see each other again. Instead, a good break up can leave you having strong feelings for your ex. If that sounds like you then you are probably saying something like, “I am still in love but my ex is not.”
One thing you should know is that you are not alone in feeling this way. A lot of people have ended relationships only to find they still love their ex. But, you need to take it a step further. While you may love your ex, and think they don’t love you; you have to ask yourself why you believe that. Has your ex told you they don’t care for you anymore? Have they been ignoring you? Are you just assuming they don’t love you? Anything short of them flat out telling you they don’t love you means there is hope for working things out.
So, your first task is to find out how they really feel. Before you call them up or pay them a visit to ask, give them some time to come to grips with what has happened. If you approach them too soon, they may not have settled down yet and will say they don’t care for you–not because they don’t really care, but because they just don’t want you around so soon after breaking up.
“I am still in love but my ex is not” is not the most comforting thought, though, is it? But you need to do whatever you can to find out how they really feel. No guessing. No hearing it from a third party. Once they have had some time to calm down, then you can ask them about their feelings for you. You have to do this carefully, otherwise you run the risk of pushing them away for good, and that’s not what you want.
How long should you wait? The truth is that there is no single answer. At least a week, but maybe a month. That being said, you should know your ex well enough to have a good idea of how long you should wait. But, your emotions are probably running high due to hoping they still love you too. This can cloud your judgment, so it’s best to add a few extra days before you approach them, just to be on the safe side.
The main thing when telling yourself “I am still in love but my ex is not” is to not make assumptions. Of course there is always a chance that they don’t care for you, and that’s okay; at least you will find out directly from them instead of wondering. But, if they do have feelings for you, then you can move forward, though you need to be patient as you patch things up.
