Jonnyy Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 So like all day today, i thought i was having an emotional setback because i thought i was missing her, but after thinking about it...i really miss her family more than my ex right now. I loved her family, they were so kind to me, they made me feel like part of the family. I mean just this summer i got to go camping with my (then gf) and her family and it was a blast. And also for some reason everytime i hear any sort of country song it reminds me of her family. Her little brother was like the little brother i never had. I miss them all so much Im not sure if anyone has gone through this on here, but any ways to help me cope with missing her family so much? Link to post Share on other sites
Dark Phoenix Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 It's all part of the healing process. I think it's you associating your ex with all of the things you will miss out on because they are your ex now. I remember when I started missing my ex's family more than I missed my ex, I even went to the extent of missing her dog more than I did her. It's your mind making connections, just a little delayed because of the trauma of the breakup. Cause: she dumped me, Effect: I don't get to be with her... (Later on) Effect: I don't get to see her family Link to post Share on other sites
calreese Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) I know how you're feeling, my ex has a three year old half brother, and for some reason I was thinking about him the other day and how fun he is to play with, and I thought about him asking his mom when I was coming over next and that thought really beat me down that day. I agree with Phoenix, I think that you're not only forced to get over your ex, but also all the things that you associate with him/her, even other people that you still may want in your life.

Buttercup84 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 My ex's mum set us up , so I knew her before I met him . I got on so well with her and his sister . His sister and I talked on the phone for hours . I loved his niece too . But for a stupid reason they ended up hating me and I haven't spoken to them since christmas . I wonder if they talked him into ending it with me .but I still miss them , I felt so lucky and thought it would be a perfect family if we married . Link to post Share on other sites
