For me it's been a very long while since feeling nothing for my ex bf (I broke up with him and don't even want him as a friend; I ignored him when he called for my b-day a couple months ago). As a now 25 year-old, I don't know what I saw in him in the first place nor why did I wanted to form a future with him. I don't miss him at all. I have nothing to talk to him.

Present-day: if he met the older me, chances are the date wouldn't go pass the 2nd week.

So this has me wondering that those ''I'll always love you'' phrases is false. If you don't make it work and put effort to it, then the relationship will not last and chances are, both of them go their separate ways. A relationship is a conditional love and can change at any time.

Depends on the relationship. Some can be as fleeting as the wind, some may leave the deepest possible impression that lasts a lifetime.

I'm not sure how "nothing" feels. So I am not sure if I am not feeling it.

Could you maybe be asking "How many of your don't feel anything for an ex anymore?".

If you are, I will say "yes". I have no feelings for my ex.

Yes but it was too late when I posted the thread.
Looking back, I would laugh right now if I saw my younger 19 year-old self arguing with my mother over that guy.
Interesting how most of the time youth love is silly. I think it was really infatuation I was experiencing at the time.

Double negative...bah.

Regardless, I felt nothing but elation and happiness when me and my ex finally went our separate ways. He'd made my life so miserable in that last year we were together that I couldn't wait to move on. So I suppose I felt more than 'nothing' because I felt so, so happy

Yeah when someone is creating too much drama in your life (to the point that you wouldn't tolerate that from anyone) then they're not worth your time.

Come to think of it, there was more negativity in the relationship than positivity. Yet, my younger self kept tolerating things the me of now wouldn't.

That's an excellent point. When I was with my ex, my self esteem was so low that I felt content and happy knowing that a man actually liked me enough to call me his girlfriend. The guy I dated before that NEVER referred to me as his girlfriend in public, only in private, and I found out he'd been cheating on me basically our entire relationship. So, when my ex introduced me as his girlfriend I was so excited.

Now, I'm a bit older and a LOT more confident with much higher self esteem. I wont' tolerate a-holes like that any more and I'm not afraid to confront someone if they **** me off.

Thank you. I was wondering what the heck she meant.

I feel no love for my ex. That ended when we broke up over 5 years ago.
Karma can be a biach. She did me very wrong.

Kind of hard to explain but in a way I feel a little sorry for her now.

I'm like a lump of stone.

They pretty much cease to exist for me.

Who?
