Having trouble differentiating if I miss my ex or I just miss being in a relationship

[Chatmonkey]

It makes it even harder to know since I have only had 1 relationship.

 

It's not that important that i discover the difference - I just found this an interesting thing to think about and was wondering if anyone else had come across the same thought and what they concluded?

I'm right there with ya. My first relationship ended about 6 weeks ago and I've been asking myself and others the same question. My guess is that you are missing both. You miss the closeness, feelings of importance, intimacy, having something there for you, etc. To me, that's all part of the relationship itself. But then again, you are probably missing particular things about her (how she made you feel important, how she was there for you, and so on). I think it's impossible to love someone and not miss them when they are no longer in your life.
