When my ex and I broke up, he told me that I would always have a place in his heart...what does that mean? I mean, I have an idea but I would like some input on this and see what the outside world has to say lol

That means in his own way there will always be love for you as a person on some level, just no longer an intimate one. He cares for you and is hoping you can always remain close friends.

You should find a quiet place and deeply ask yourself why it haunts you and what need or purpose does that haunting feeling serve for you. It would help you tremendously on your future relationship path is you figured that out.

I'm not sure that he is hoping we remain close friends. This was years ago, but our relationship still haunts me to this day lol. I think you're right though, he will always have love for me no matter if it is romantically or as friends. Thanks for commenting! :)

There actually possible reason on why did he told you that you will always have a place in his heart, one, maybe he still loves you, its just that the situation of your relationship has to end. second, would as everyone would agree to me that you will always be in his heart because you,ve been a part of it, he loved you and he will never forget you. whatever it is the reason on why you broke up, remember that there will always be someone whose worth all your effort,it may not be him, but someday there will be someone whose willing to stand beside you for the rest of your life.

Thanks for your response! This actually made me feel more optimistic about this. Not necessarily him, but the fact that there will be someone to stand by me. That is what I need right now among other things, but this makes me want to hold onto hope. Thank you! :)

Good to hear that.. Sometimes you'll just have to wait for the right person to come, I always believe that waiting for someone is best than searching because he may not be the right man for you.. Just keep your head up, move on and never forget to pray for guidance..:)
Happy mylotting

It means that somehow in his life you've been part of it, for example thing same as childhood days as we remembered and put a smile in our face somehow but of course we cant go back to that childhood days so we can only say that childhood days somehow has been part of our life. So same thing as him since he used to love you, though unlike childhood, love can still prosper the second time around if there's still a change.

not everything a man says always have it's meaning. it could be he couldn't find the right words to say it gently to you. sometimes, men use sweet words to make the situation more lighter. Or it could be an honest way of saying he will never forget you because you became a part of his life.
but now he has his own family and it's almost your 10th year now if ever, I would say move on and don't even try to harness the meaning of those thoughts.

Yes, I don't think he would ever forget me because at one time him and I were not only lovers, but best friends as well. I believe there was meaning behind it, even if it were little. Thanks for your comment! :)

Coming from someone who's said that before to his ex, I think he might've meant what I meant. You will always be a very special person to him but he just doesn't love/like you quite the same way as he used to.

That makes sense! He was with someone else right away. I appreciate your response :)

I guess it just means that he will be remembering you as once part of his life that helped him learned something.

Perhaps, he only meant to say he'll never bear ill-feelings towards you. You still think about him now and then after not talking to him for 8 years, but I'm not surprised. I have a male friend whom I cherish for about 6 years and he couldn't care less about me anymore. You're right, people have different ways of coping, and I'm still coping with this struggle that I have. I keep thinking about him. But someday it'll be over. I hope you'll get over him in your own time, because he's married and there would be no chances for you.

Hi desiree91,
That's unfortunate that you have somewhat of the same issue dealing with your friend. You're right! Someday it will be over, I hope. Even though yes he is married, that doesn't necessarily mean that we can never meet later down the line and both be single again. Strange things happen like that. I can only hope to get over this, but since there was no closure, I will have to find my own. Thanks for your response!

It could mean 2 things depending on the reasons you broke up.
1.) you will always be important to him/her and will regard to you as a friend for as long as you need one.
2.) He/she is only saying it so it doesn't hurt you so much. Or that you dont end up hating each other :)

I should have specified the reason we broke up lol. It was because he found someone else and we fought more than usual. we were together 2 years and were each others best friend at one point. I have not talked to him since and its been 8 years. I know it sounds crazy, but today would have been our 10 year anniversary and I just can't stop thinking about him. Maybe because there really wasn't any closure. But hes married now with a son and I remember him saying that to me. A friend of mine brought to my attention that she's sure he still thinks about me from time to time and wonders about me, but I have no way of knowing and now it has got me really wondering. I know I have to let this go, but everyone copes differently. Thanks for commenting! :)
