She’s Built A Wonderful Life With Her Fiancé, But She Can’t Stop Thinking About Her Ex, So She Wants To Contact Him
This 28-year-old woman claims to be happily engaged to her 29-year-old fiancé, whom she’s built a wonderful life with.
She’s been with her fiancé for two and a half years, and they own a house together. They have little kids from previous relationships, all under the age of 9.
She has one child, and he has two. Their kids are so close they call one another siblings. She loves her fiancé, their family, and the life that they have built and are continuing to develop.
While she says that she’s happy, she really misses one of her ex-boyfriends. A lot. This man is not the father of her child, and they were only together for a little over a year.
They broke up 5 years ago, but for some reason, she can’t get him out of her head, and she’s been thinking about him for an entire year now.
“But I’ve had dreams about being back together with him and wake up with my heart literally aching,” she explained.
“I’ve daydreamed about him. Our break up was mutual and amicable because we were in different places in our lives at the time, wanted things on very different timelines, and agreed that we were holding each other back and loved each other enough to just want the other happy, even if it meant that couldn’t happen together.”
They stayed friends for some time post-breakup, and they had to continue living together after that, too.
Then things got a bit rocky between them, so they stopped all communication when they moved out, though they tried to leave things on a high note.

She’s been trying to get to the bottom of why she keeps thinking about her ex, and she thinks she understands her longing for him.
“I think one big reason I long for this ex is because my fiancé’s ex (his children’s mom) causes so much drama all the time, and it’s overwhelming,” she said.
“I miss when all I had to worry about was me and my SO. I think another reason is that my life is so wildly different now than it was when I was with him, and I miss my old life (but still, I love where my life is now).”
“Should I reach out to my ex? Do I just sit and hope it passes (he’s been on my mind for almost a year)? Therapy?”
