The following has had an effect on my current relationship and at times has a current effect on my mental health for different reasons..
Back story.
Knew a guy for years, clearly liked each other.. Both married. I left my husband after an ongoing big problem. Married guy declared his love for me over the years he knew me and left his wife.
We were together for 8 years.. All good, some parts hard as we had kids so that was to be expected.. But just as things felt 'settled' I found out he'd been messaging someone else.
I threw the towel in and moved out.
With this followed him begging me to the point of me getting a restraining order on him
2 years after it ended he was in touch.. He's been in touch ever since.
I have an android and although he's 'blocked' I still see them.
Messages can be weeks apart. I see him a lot where we live so it's like it's never ended in a way.
He says he wants to talk.. What would you do? Potentially this could go on forever?.. We've been split over 5 years.
