Let me start out by saying that i don't date many men because i'm very selective.

 

I've only seriously dated two men.

 

I've been currently dating a man for a full year.

 

My ex, my first boyfriend, first love left for his mission for 2 years (he comes back this april.. so in a couple of months). His parents split us up because we were not of the same religion and they thought i was distracting him from what they wanted from him (though it was not what he wanted). During the 2 years he's been gone and the year i have spent dating this new guy i've missed my ex terribly.

 

I would say i spend a good amount of time thinking about him, dreaming about him and even crying because it hurts so much that i don't have him.

 

He recently wrote me and told me that he wants nothing to do with me when he comes home because he thinks i'm not good for him (because of the religion). But confusingly, he said that if he was to ever see me again, he wouldn't be able to resist from falling back in love with me.

 

I'm happy with my current boyfriend, but i just can't shake these feelings for my ex.

 

Do i need closure ? How do i move past this? what do i do ?

How old are you guys? Why does/did his parents have so much control over your relationship?

we were in high school. & his parents are VERY wealthy and told him they would disown him and shun him out, etc.

Sounds like you have very strong feelings for your ex still.

 

I would suggest seeing him for closure, but I don't think that would help as you two broke up for reasons seemingly out of your control though now he's saying you wouldn't be good for him because of the religion.

 

Let me ask you, what is holding you back from truly letting go and moving on?
