When you long for an ex…

I shouldn’t feel this way. I’m with someone else, and it’s plain wrong. But certain memories & little details keep pulling me back. I found myself listening to sad songs and crying like a fool. Eventually wore myself out and fell asleep.

I guess a part of me will always care. Knowing he’s struggling and unhappy makes it even harder. How I wish I could hold his hand and walk him to the light… and vice versa.

Why can’t we just support each other in moving forward?

I know we’d just succumb to each other’s arms then stomp on each other’s hearts all over again.

I'm sure you realize it's not fair for the person in your life now. If your ex gets his shit together, you're going to drop the other guy, but at time in life, people choose the person they're with, instead of the person they want. Surprisingly these relationships work quite well.
@Northwest we cant help who we fall for , unfortunately ?
Nunki · 31-35, F
Nah. I want him to get his shit together so that he can find peace & move on. Not to go back to him. Quite the opposite. The damage is beyond repair already. Maybe because I feel like our fates are deeply connected. Maybe it’s the remnants of old love. Idk

@Nunki The remnants of old love are always complicated ;-)

Well i understand how u feel but really if you dont lkke your current BF, you should leave him seems like your not over your EX at all and you need to heal. Idk how most ppll think getting into another realtionship is healing when really youre not if your still longing over an ex

Which can clearly lead u to cheating and your current bf getting hurt. It isnt fair to him that you're having these emotions and are probably still in contact with that ex and he's sitting there thinking its not like that when it is like that.

If you and your ex could never work out then i suggest healing alone, until your completely over him. Then finding another partner. Being strung along and always being someone elses second choice and trying super hard to keep them around hurts and sucks.
Nunki · 31-35, F
Nah I like him ofc but we're taking things slowly. He understands that I still need time to heal and he’s been supportive.
We have clear goals from the relationship. I still have my moments here & there but overall I'm doing much better than before @Different
Different · 31-35, M
@Nunki hes a different type of guy then if u told me that. I would be hurt and dump you cause aint no way you can heal being with me knowing you long for someone else and knowing 2nd choice haha. Cauae the only way i seen people actually heal is being alone. But alot of people are afraid of being alone so they never heal. Im not saying thats u or judging u but thats just what i seen and what i would do lol
Nunki · 31-35, F
Lol that’s fine. I’m not acting on sh*t though. The ex is not getting any. The new guy is hahaha
@Different
I am also in a same spot like shouldnt feel this or that , but we cant control how we feel. Mine isnt an ex but .... still wrong i know. Remember , they are feelings, we dont force them. It just happens. :/
Nunki · 31-35, F
True. After all, all feelings are valid.
Acting on them is a different story. @IWantANewLife

I miss my ex. But it’s like this; if I drop a burger in the trash and still felt hungry - would I find a new meal; or go a look in the garbage! 😂
Nunki · 31-35, F
I can relate to this too often. Just not today haha @GoldenOldie

@Nunki breaking up is grief; just without death

One of the better meaningful posts of the day. Strong perspective
Nunki · 31-35, F
Thank you @Mmiker

Without knowing more finite details, it appears you two had a significantly deep connection at one point. Breaking up is never easy and harder when the bond is strong. I don't know how long you two have been apart, but it will pass. Sometimes, memories will rear their heads. That's natural. Just let it happen.

Unfortunately it’s normal, it’s impossible to forget what you had with someone

99% of times, they’re an ex for a reason. It just takes some of us a bit longer to realize that

Don’t let Ex’s trauma ruin what you could have with your current partner ♥
Nunki · 31-35, F
True. I’ll try. Thank you 💗@Ashly
I know how you feel. She dumped me years ago, but I still like to know she's doing well. Her victories are my victories, same as it always was. Part of me still wants her, but we grew differently which is why we broke up.

You can always be supportive, just try to remember why it didn't work out.

If you know that this person is toxic for you then it is best to let It Go.
Nunki · 31-35, F
You are right. I need to remember all the bad things too @KingofBones1
KingofBones1 · 46-50, M
@Nunki that's right beautiful you need to remember who cares for you and who does not. Love is something that builds each other up not tears each other down. It encourages it craves and it shows relentless affection and the desire to be standing next to that person at all times. Real Love is beautiful never ugly
KingofBones1 · 46-50, M
@Nunki you know in your heart who is best for you and what is best as well. Women have a way of wanting what they don't need but needing what they don't necessarily want. I am the needs before want kind of guy so I tend to look at things a little differently

I have an ex that I long for....I'm in a long term relationship, but sometimes I want to be with her.

Why did y'all break up
Nunki · 31-35, F
Simple question with a difficult answer @deadgerbil
PinkMoon · 26-30, F
God it would destroy me if my boyfriend was having these feelings for an ex.

I don't, but I check up on him every now & then. Honestly? They're nowhere as deep, till this point at least. Still there are days where I totally forget about the ex and give the new guy my best
