Would you meet an ex?

Last year my ex got in touch and apologised for his behaviour when we were together when we were young. I was heart broken at the time. I knew he was complicated. I literally walked away and didn’t go back after an argument. I realised he wasn’t doing me any good just messing with my head.
His life seems to have involved crime and drugs. But he is trying to turn it around and has been in therapy.
I bumped into him recently in town.
I got his life story and I have gone through all sorts of emotions thinking about him. My guard was up and I listened more than anything. I am craving closure I think. I feel like maybe I need to properly chat to him when I’m more prepared and deal with this. To get the ending I never did??
My life has been complicated lately I have had issues with dh with jealousy and lack of respect. We are not in a good place.
I’m having counselling and feel like maybe I’m at some kind of cross roads in life and need to delve into everything to make the decisions to move forward. Any thoughts?

No I would not see him. "Closure" is too often used as an absolute bullshit excuse to see exes. I

Work out what you want in terms of your current relationship.

Keep away from men involved in crime and drugs

Hard to answer, as an outsider. But my general opinion is, if he wasn't good for you in the past, he won't be good for you now either. The issues you are having with your current dh are causing you to reconsider your choices, but there are probably better options out there for you.

Whatever you decide, I wish you luck.

Delve into anything you want......with your councillor.

Not with ex's that treated you bad.

Your DH doesn't deserve that. Sort out your own relationship. Deal with the here and now. Not with someone who couldn't care less for years and years.

Everything always looks rosy looking back. There was a reason you walked away...
