Re-discovered old emails and pics sent to my second ex near start of the relationship and some from the day before (and of) our daughter's birth
13 ish years ago the relationship started. Happy times, which became totally opposite sad times in my 2018 when I left her a year after our daughter was born.
Crazy to think that a relationship which seemed wonderful could become so un-wonderful and toxic due to the foundations being flawed and impure from my ex's side. But those are the learning experiences we go through in life as nobody gives you a textbook on how relationships are supposed to work.
I've not had a relationship since but now our daughter is my priority and romantic relationships are much less important. I can't fathom how different my life would be now if the relationship had not become toxic and had actually worked out and strengthened via the arrival of our daughter.
One thing for sure - I probably wouldn't have been living in my own house.
It's interesting how re-discovering old memories triggers happy-sad thoughts of times past.
