Is it healthy to still love your ex?

You're not *in love* anymore but you know that deep down you love them, and it's mutual.

You wish them peace and you help them when they need it yet keep a safe distance.

Is indifference even a legit option?

Because it seems too ideal to be true.

It can be a lot healthier than maintaining animosity and holding onto resentment. Resentment can eat [i]you[/i] up inside; love won't.

(I do understand that some exes are really despicable, and what you call too ideal really won't happen, but that is not always the case.)

Agreed. Indifference would be perfect
But you can’t just block out all the memories and abolish the years spent a.k.a your life
