I’m in my early 30s, married relatively happily, with 2 kids. He’s a couple of years older than me. We dated when we were in our early / mid 20s for 6 months or so but added each other on Facebook and Instagram and, as his sister was his flatmate, I also have her on Facebook. The “breakup” (if you can even call it that? We weren’t official, just hung out and went on dates) was very friendly so we never deleted each other on social media. He was a great guy but we broke up because I never really felt a spark and didn’t find his jokes funny, I guess I wanted something more. However, he was lovely, we got on well, on paper it was almost perfect and I wish it worked out. Then I met my husband whose jokes I found hilarious (still do), there definitely was / is a spark but on paper he’s perhaps not as perfect.
Very recently this ex got married and he’s obviously been tagged in a million pictures, as has his sister. The girl is beautiful and seems nice - he absolutely deserves it. But I can’t help but feel a wave of sadness or maybe it’s nostalgia or “what ifs”… What’s happening? I do love my husband a lot.
