Memories still strong

[sandgrown]

35 years ago this week I split with ex -DH when he had an affair with a friend. I moved into a house with our DC and things were nasty for years though now we can be civil. 15 years later I met my new partner and we bought a house but I kept my house and various family lived there over the years.
I split with my partner in December after twenty years together as we grew apart and I have moved back to my house . I have just been thinking about the split with ex-DH and the memories are so strong even after 35 years I can remember how sad and lonely I was and I could cry even now yet no thoughts of my recent ex-partner . Why do you think this is?

Maybe it’s the house though I love being back here

Probably the split from your husband brought back the memories, especially going back to your old house. Marriages are difficult things to just bury and move in despite some thinking they are

@Normalmumandwife I know . Maybe it’s because it ended so badly . I don’t think about him at all really and it’s been such a long time and I can barely remember being married. I am surprised I can still feel so bad about it.

I had to leave our marital home. Even with a lovely new partner, everything in that house had a memory. Good and bad.
