JustUs,
I dated my boyfriend for nine years, and we broke up a year ago. We have very little contact, which has been for the best. Contact brings up too many memories.
Things are going great compared to the way they were when we first broke up. As expected, then I was sad and depressed. Anyway, I decided to go back to college and I'm getting good grades. My life is back on track, and I'm not bitter and angry like I was.
There is a male friend I would consider dating in the future. The problem is I still care about my ex. No, I'm not in love with him and don't want to get back together. I know things are over. Is it normal to still care for someone you spent all those years with?
I asked a friend what she thought, and she said, "Feelings don't just end." To give you a little more insight into the relationship, I am now 26, and we dated since high school.

Faith,
Well it's hard to let go of relationships, especially one with that much history like the one you had. God made our bodies for marriage and to bond as one. We as humans have paved our own path so that's why we have these confusing moments. It's natural for you to still have feelings for your ex. some people have feelings that last for a lifetime. You may want me to say it's OK to pursue your heart, your ex boyfriend, but we should not lean to our own understanding. You are doing good for yourself now. Don't look back, because there were obvious reasons you broke up. God likes it when we focus on him and ourselves because then he can use us for great things.
