I miss him

[Stripesarein]

It's been 6 years since we split up, he lied cheated and broke my heart but I still miss him.
I miss laying on his chest, resding the papers in bed on a Sunday morning, watching movies snuggled on the sofa with our dcs.
He's also a complete arsehole to me now and we've barely spoken in a year, everytime we do it ends in an argument.
So why, why do i miss him?

You don't miss him
You miss the person you thought he was and the time you spent in love

Unless you miss being cheated on? Which I doubt.

I definitely don't miss being cheated on.

Yes as pp said it's not him it's the ideal life you're missing - put a decent man in his place

You miss having a partner. Not the loser who cheated on you.

You definitely do not miss him, you just miss having a partner and doing couple things.

Maybe thats what it is, I've struggled to find a partner and those that I have met seem to only want one thing.

You are better off without him, if he treats you & the children the way he does, it's the love & warmth you felt when you were unaware of his treachery , that you miss. I hope in the near future you can find comfort in a loving caring man that's not after just one thing, they are out there in every day life. Best wishes.

Its being part of a couple that you miss, definitely not him.
