I broke up with my long term partner 6 months ago. Have been relatively happy so far being single, but for the last week or so I have really missed him....Is this normal or have I made a huge mistake? We meet up regularly and everything is fairly civil to date.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

your probably just becoming sentimental because it coming so close to christams.
dont do anything rash and undo the work of the past six months, just think about the reasons that made you break up in the first place.

its is nice to stay friends with an ex, but ultimatly the best thing to do is have a clean break.

plenty more fishies in the sea.
if you put yourself out there maybe santa will be nice to you in that department at christams when your out socialising

Whatever your reasons were for breaking up, Im sure theyre still valid. Maybe your just lonely? Sounds like a normal part of the breakup process, if he was a long term partner it can take longer than 6 months to really get over it, and get used to being alone.

Id recommend not thinking of any reconciliation over Christmas time. Its a sentimental time of year, and you could find your emotions making you get back with him when it may not be the best thing? Have another look at it, and him, in the new year.

You (probably) did the right thing.

well from what i know it sounds like the normal break up process maybe just a little delayed

i mean if you think of it you have been with someone for a reason so no matter what the reason for breaking up part of you is gonna miss the reason you got with them

hope that makes sense!!
