over 7 years later..

Hello all..

To get right to the point I was friends with a woman for a couple of years, then we became more serious about our feelings but after a few months it ended. She already had a man of 5 years and shortly after we crossed that evil line she became pregnant to her boyfriend and that was the end of whatever the heck it was that we had. Soo..

Regardless of my relationship status over the years I've never been able to get her out of my head. It's all consuming at times but manageable most of the time. We live in a small city so it's not unheard of to run into each other at the store or on the street or whatever. We still share some mutual friends so interaction happens every now and then. Within the past 4 years or so I've been able to handle myself ok around her. Well today I saw her in the grocery store and I froze. My good day went to bad in an instant and I felt the same way I did the day she told me it was over.

What I can't wrap my brain around is how I could still feel so strongly about something/someone when, in actuality, our time together was so short lived. No long term relationship whatsoever. Just a few huge months. And after 7 years man I feel like..well..poo.

 

Anyone else find themselves pining over something seemingly "smalltime" after a ridiculous amount of time has passed?

 

Thanks for listening:)

I can't say I have that experience but what has been on my own nerves is in my head simulating what you have experienced i.e. not letting go completely of my feelings for my current ex. Our breakup was not a bad one and although the relationship was only 10 months long; it was forced because of factors not in our control.

 

To think that I could still be thinking about my ex even if she already has a partner makes me feel pretty bad too! Sorry to hear that you are in your predicament.
