To feel sad over this?

4 years ago to the month I got with a friend of over 15 years.
We always got on like a house on fire but always worried if we were too good friends to risk it.
Anyway we told each we loved each other then got together,his ex then announced she was pregnant and he told me he had to support her and be a father..which was 100% the correct thing to do but still hurt like hell.
Fast forward 4 years and I'm happy and have a daughter who is 7 months.
Yesterday was our date night so walking along the promenade holding hands and out walks my ex friend /don't know what with his son and her children and partner.
I didn't have time to take in that it was him and we both just looked to the floor.
It's made me sad that we are now total strangers who pass each other in the street.
He just had this weird expression on his face and my heart started racing.
It's took me back 4 years exactly how I felt at that time.
Now having a daughter of my own,I wouldn't leave her behind for anything,and I put myself in his shoes and I would have done the same.
Am I making any sense here?

Yanbu, that relationship did not have a good ending and you didnt get closure. That does not mean it would have worked out between you.
Might be an idea to work out some way to close that chapter in your life.

More than likely wouldn't have worked.
I think it's because after we just erased each other,like we meant nothing to each other.
I feel guilty even thinking about this,up until yesterday I didn't allow myself to think about him.

Does anyone else have any words of wisdom?

Why not post on Relationships board? You might get more advice there? 💐
