Do men keep feelings for exgirlfriends?

Answer 1

Sometimes. It depends on the circumstances of the breakup.

Many guys remain friends with an ex, especially where they have been close friends for a long time; the breakup is usually a mutually agreeed thing because it simply isn't working for them.

However, many feel anger or hatred for their exgirlfriends, either because of some real fault on the girl's behalf or simply from being dumped. You can usually tell which is the case by knowing who left who.

The final group of the the three would be the apathetics, those guys which accept the breakup, make their peace and move on with their life. While the girl may not be completely cut out of this life, they are often regarded as just acquaintances, neither friend nor foe.

I believe a man often holds in his heart a feeling for his first love for sure and often for other women he has loved as well. Men are very territorial it seems to me and like to hold on to all women that they have conquered or loved.
