River Rain Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Today I thought about how lonely my ex is. I don't want him back, I don't want contact, I just kind of felt bad for him because he set himself up to have no time for a romantic relationship. He's pining for his old life with the ex-wife and kid, but she doesn't want him and he'll never have it. I don't think it's pity, just compassion. I feel bad for him. But he chose his lifestyle. I think this is me moving on.
Mcnulty Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Well done. it happens wothout us willing it to, regarding them with empathy and as you say compassion. It's moving on, but still feeling and caring for the people you once loved. I've started talking to my ex after 11 monthe NC...had to go through all the hurtful emotions, but one day arrived at compassion and concern as she was in poor health. i wanted her to not suffer or be in pain, then bam, she's back in my life and its a happier place I'm at now.Good luck and onwards and upwards for your complete healing one day. 1
