We had a lot of happy times over the years and I do really miss him. We have spoken on the phone a lot and agreed to meet up next week for lunch. He sounds quite down when I speak to him and I wondered whether this was because he misses me too.I just wonder whether the way I am feeling is really normal? It seems to be eating away at me not seeing him and the only thing that makes me feel ok is the thought of seeing him. I feel exhausted from not seeing him and I'm fed up with just talking on the phone. I have no idea how it will be when we meet next week and I am quite nervous.I have never experienced this before with previous partners, including the father of my children. I wondered whether this is me being in an emotionally weak state or just normal because he is the love of my life? Any ideas would be appreciated. I do worry about this because although at times I have felt happy and got on with life etc, when it got to about six months of not seeing him, some sort of anxiety seemed to set in and I just really wanted to see him. Has anyone else felt like this and if so any comments would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks for your help.

You might be miserable without him, but is it possible you will be even more miserable with him? Remember why you broke up with him and think long and hard before getting back together.
