My Ex bf who just happened to be the love of my life before current DP emailed me out of the blue, just a friendly email asking what I’ve been up to.
For a bit of backstory...
We were best friends, decided to give it a go and due to me being totally in love with him and knowing he could break my heart I told him I’d rather have him in my life as my friend than not at all if things went south between us and so we slotted back into our comfortable friendship. I never slept with him, not to say we weren’t close on many occasions. We’d broken up maybe 8 months and he started dating a girl from our friendship group. He was so besotted by her that when she told him that he had to stop contact with all of his female friends he did. He stopped all contact and I didn’t hear from him for 10 years. When he emailed me after the 10 years ( 5 years ago) he said he was too embarrassed to get in contact with me earlier because of what he did to me. We were emailing back and forth until he found out I now had 2 kids and was in a committed relationship. I knew he’d broken up with her, I knew he was now married as we have several mutual friends. I actually saw him just after he broke up with her whilst I was on a first date with DP. He pretended like he hadn’t seen me. He will always be my first love and I don’t know or will ever know if he felt the same but I will always care for him. The problem is now since he’s emailed me recently I’ve had dreams in which it’s actually events that have happened with him and mebut my decision was different and I feel kinda guilty. He’s happily married and I’m happy with my relationship and family. Anyone else experienced this or maybe give some insight to why this may be happening?
