I agree it is
Definitely agree it'll hurt for both side
I'd say it's harder to do when said ex lover is a central figure of one's trauma. Sometimes, getting accustomed to healthy relationship and learning how to trust again is what they could need to get over such an ex
I've got mixed feelings about this. It's 50/50 for me if they end up together or separate. Tbh, ppl who can't get over their ex should not be dating anyone. Speaking from personal experience, it's unfair and downright disrespectful towards the person you are currently dating. But then this is just my personal opinion. Other ppl might feel differently.
