confuzedfella Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 I broke up with my ex about 4 months ago. She and I had been together for quite a number of years. We were with each other for about 7 years, and never married. I'm not really sure why, I just couldn't see myself marrying her. We had broke up, and then after about a year, I went back to her. We tried to make it work, but the same issues that had gave us problems in the past were back again. So after a couple of months, I just couldn't take it anymore. So I left, calling it quits and not wanting to try anymore. I don't think anything bad of her, we just didn't seem compatible on alot of different levels. Shortly after, I met someone else, and everything seems to match up perfectly. We laugh together more than I've ever laughed with anyone, and we just agree on so many different topics, but have enough differences to keep things interesting. However, lately, i've just been having memories of my ex and thinking about her and the good times that we did share. Is this something that is common after being together for so long? Or is it something that maybe I should consider before I move too much farther with my new love interest? Thanks, in advance. Hope you all have a great day.
birdie Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 it sounds to me that you have finally got over your previous relationship. the reason why you are thinking about her in such positive ways is that you are not angry/disappointed anymore. also, you cannot just throw 7 years of your life away, it made you the person you are today. a positive influence such as your current relationship is bound to make you feel happier and see the past through rose-tinted glasses as well. this is all normal development I'd say but don't read too much into it. you know why it didn't work with your ex.
Lee725 Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Birdie says it well. It is OK to think about her, you did spend so much time with her. Dont read to much into it and certainly dont do anything that could harm your new relationship like ring the ex. Let your memories be happy and leave it at that. You would have taken a big journey to get to this point, dont regress.
