Why do I feel like this about my ex, we split up 4 years ago...

Question - (1 March 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 1 March 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I was with my ex boyfriend for 4 years from the age of 15. We broke up 4 years ago, lost touch for 3 years, and got back in touch a year ago.

Now through mutual friends and work, I see him, and his family (who I regarded as my family, we were so close), alot.

I just don't understand these feelings I have - I broke up with him because I wasn't in love with him any more. But when I see him, I wonder what it would be like if we were together again.

He has a girlfriend (I would never make a move on him because of this!) who is expecting his child. She fell pregnant a month into their relationship (they have been together 6 months now), and it's quite clear that they are still together purely because of this child.

Yet she still tries to keep him away from me, she's very insecure and demanding, and to be honest my ex is half the person he used to be. He used to be funny, outgoing, happy, and since getting with her, he is moody, withdrawn and unhappy.

But again, back to my original question. Why am I thinking about him in this way? I get the feeling he feels like that about me, just the way hne looks at me, the things he says.

I'm single by the way.

SexKitten69 agony auntHi hunn

I think there is something that you haven't quite let go of. Maybe trying to keep a bit of a distance will help a little and that sound like a hard thing to do if you see him often.

Are these feelings of regret from ending the relationship or is it a case of not knowing what you had until it had gone?

Hats off to you for not going to make a move considering his current situation, that is a very respectable thing to be thinking!
