Question: I feel empty after meeting my ex for the first time!?
Me and my ex just had lunch today for the first time in 9 months that I was out of town!. It was naturally awkward as one could expect but we were trying our best to make it most casual and friendliest possible!. We talked for 2 hours and things got increasingly awkward to the point that I said goodbye and he didn't say it back when we parted!. Neither of us brought up the past!. The thing is that I know I'm over him that way even though I still care for him a lot!. His friendship means a lot to me, much more than I want to admit!. I don't know why because I never wanted to befriend any other ex's before!. My friend suggested that maybe it's because he was the one who was the closest to me in many many years!. So that's why I'm sad that our friendship wouldn't work, it feels like I've lost my best friend!. I feel empty and hurt because I took his abrupt departure personally!. Is this the way I'm supposed to feel!?

Hi,
I think that's perfectly normal if you cared for someone deeply just because they are not a part of your life anymore doesn't mean these feelings will stop or go away!. You can love someone deeply but not be in love with them sometimes things just go wrong and for various reasons you part ways!.
I think that's just the way the heart works unpredictable :O) Www@QuestionHome@Com
Friendship is extremely important, especially when that person is trustworthy, patient, caring!. It's always a lost, you are never better off loosing a close friend!. Be open with your feelings, love conquers all!.

If every one could see your life through your eyes and comment on what you do would you still want something like that!!?!Www@QuestionHome@Com
Of course it's the way you are supposed to feel!. You'd be a cold-hearted snake if you could lose your best friend and not blink an eye!. It will take time to heal, and you may never be able to be close like you were again!. I went through the same thing, and I just can't talk to him anymore!. I felt like half of my soul was ripped away, for months! I still smile when I think of him, and hope he is happy, because I know that I finally am!. Good luck!. Just let yourself feel what you are feeling!.!.!. fighting it only prolongs it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
