Do you think it is possible to love someone and hate them at the same time and with the same passion???

I ask this question because in January of this year i met someone who i fell madly in love with. He said all the right things and appeared to be as in love with me as i was with him. Everything seemed to be going great until one day out of nowhere he broke up with me in a very heartless way. It was like he was a completely different person than the one i had fallen in love with. He told me that he didn't really love me the way he thought he did and that I wasn't worth him risking being hurt again. It was like he didn't care at all as the tears were rolling down my face. Needless to say he broke my heart that day. The worst part of everything was after all this he tried talking to me again wanting to be friends but it seemed like all he wanted to do was hurt me more by talking about his new girlfriend and how in love with her he was. Now its been months since he broke up with me and i haven't heard from him since August but when i think about him i feel like part of me still loves him and the other part of me hates him with the same passion.

I really feel sad for you and totally understand the kind of jerk you have come across,since I have dealt with one too. These are shallow people with low self confidence who want to enjoy the first few flowery days of romance and move on from one lover to another. They do not intend to cheat as they feel completely lost in love themselves but when as soon as the rosy days start to fade away, they start getting uncomfortable and want to move on.These are also people who have been ditched or hurt in love severely and get satisfaction in hurting their lovers but not intentional.As for you, my suggestion would be to completely be out of touch with him and move on. He does not want to be friends with you; just see you get upset which in turn will make him feel important and worthy and thus boost his self esteem.You need to give time you will get over him, there is possibility of him coming back to you after break u with the other girl but do not entertain him as he will do the same thing again with you.Thanks
