Am I just lonely?

My ex/son's dad and I have been split for a few years now. Lately I've been really bummed with life and thinking about him. Mostly because he is still my friend and the only one I want to be around, the only one who listens, who cares, who is supportive and accepting. He still annoys the shit out of me, but life with him wasn't all that bad. I don't dare say a word because I wonder if I'm just lonely and I trust him. On the other hand, I'm lonely and I trust him... I'm so confused why I feel this way about him.

In times of loneliness I always find myself imagining and missing my ex, i think it's only natural to think of these kind of things in those times. I think once you have a bond with somebody you'll always have those feelings for them, even if its not in your best interests.
It's hard when you have that person that you can just be your real self with and they're like the best friend you can't be around, life is strange..
Though obviously yours is a deeper bond than mine due to it's nature, but i get part of what you're feeling.

I think maybe you could meet more people, but then i say that to myself every day and i don't/don't know how to anymore if i'm being honest. Tis a conundrum...

@Gh0s1 you are right. I truly miss being around someone I can trust

@StokedFox Me too man. I think we'll both find that again, though the difficult part is not looking too far into the distance as we can never see it from where we are right now.
Maybe try and reconnect with him if it helps, just as a friendship.
