Saw this interesting Facebook blog post by a radio talk show host. Basically he expresses how can someone love you one day and then hate you the next...and either way, those emotions are virtually the same.

 

That even after the break-up, and you hear your favorite song about them ont he radio or something happens that reminds you of them...it STILL means you care about them, right?

 

Basically, if you love them...you care. If you hate them...you still care...and it's all one in the same.

 

He talks about how its APATHY is what makes you not care.

 

This dudes been through three marriages, and tons of break ups, so to him...that being said, means he hasn't lost the capability of loving over and over and over again. But yet the dude can't keep a relationship much less a marriage lasting a handful of years.

 

Your thoughts on his blog post?

I agree. The opposite of "love" is not "hate"...it's indifference.

 

 

I'm also a huge fan of the "Fake it 'til you make it" mantra and have been to known to pretend that I don't care...until I really no longer do.

 

 

It's yet to fail me.

Love is a feeling; hate is a feeling; indifference is the absence of feelings.

 

 

I don't allow myself to have any feelings for my exes, nor do I allow them to create any feelings in me. I'll bet your ex is loving that he can yank your chain, all the while you're hating him.

 

I don't give my exes any satisfaction anymore, of any kind. ;)

the writer of that post seems a bit of an addict to emotion. To him, it seems to be about thrills and emotions, not people. Read the way he is writing... he does not talk about one specific person, about how it's like to love someone, their quirks and particularities... no. He talks about how it is to feel intensity. Love or hate. People like that are the worst, because they are a waste of time and emotion, their partners aren't real people, specific individuals, they are only mere providers of those thrills. The more intense, the stronger their attraction, the more their partners fight back, to more they get excited, because they feed those emotions.

 

I know how love is supposed to feel. What that person feels is not love. As for hate... I am more the type to get angry rather than feel hate. Anger is one horrid b*tch, I can tell you that !

If the fake it to you make it works for you Im surprised. I just find it strange, and kind of not being honest with yourself about your feelings. One little thing while pretending could set it off... To each their own though

Yeah that's true.

 

When I think of all my ex's (not my most recent one yet) who I am fully healed from I realize that I don't feel anything towards them. Not love, not hate, not anything. It's literally just a blank feeling. So indifference is definitely knowing you have moved on and let go. Unfortunately this just takes a lot of time but it's possible.

 

Last year I was devastated over a guy who also broke my heart and it took me quite a while to get over him. Well guess what... yesterday he got into a relationship with someone new and I literally 100% don't care or felt anything. That's how I knew my healing journey has ended with that guy. Now I just have to get there with my latest ex :eek::o

Love is a strong feeling.

 

Hate is a strong feeling.

 

Apathy is just a nothingness.

 

So in my mind if you still hate your ex, you are not over them. They still have control over your emotions one way or another...
