Hey loveshack,

 

Without delving into details (if you need those, say so and I'll pm them, but I don't really feel like throwing them out in the open), I'm kinda curious as to if it's normal if one gets over their ex, but then every now and then (every so much weeks or so) falls in love with her all over again?

 

Also, more importantly, does it go away, and does it have to go away before I begin something new? Or should I just listen to it and force it out by being rejected?

You fall out of love when there's joy and purpose in your life.

 

You stop yearning for the other person.

 

You may still love them (i.e. feel compassionate love towards them, care for them, are fond of them and cherish your past times together), but the desirous attachment fizzles out. You no longer feel a need for them.

 

The love bug comes nipping at the heart during moments of distress and vulnerability. That's often when we reminisce and dredge up those wonderful memories. We "fall in love" again. Or so we tell ourselves.
