I have recently started talking to an ex again. We had a 2 year relationship/friends from end of 2010 to start of 2013. I say relationship/ friends as we were more like friends but called each other boyfriend and girlfriend. In 2012 I was involved in a serious car accident alone and he along with my mum and Nan was there for me the most. This should have brought us closer but it did the opposite. He said he felt we had drifted apart so wanted to just be mates. I agreed if I was honest I was ready to split up but didn’t like to admit it. So I joined a dating site which he found out about and wasn’t happy and ended the friendship/relationship.
Now over the years we have had the odd messages between us. He has said he can’t explain why he was so bothered about me joining a dating site when he had said he only wanted to be mates. This year we have started talking a lot more as mates for now but we are both open to it leading to more and honestly I hope and think it will. He has learnt about coding on computers not an expert but knows basics and has said he would like to make a mobile game and I could help him if I like. I know nothing about how to do anything like this but would like to learn how to do this. This is something we can both focus on doing together and learn more as we go on. What will happen? I have no idea but we plan to just try it out for something to do and see how we get on. We also have other things we both enjoy doing like going on walks I want to walk the Yorkshire peaks and he would do them with me we both are at similar level with walking. Also we both like to have a few drinks which is something we used to enjoy before.
I can’t help getting my hopes up of giving things a go in relationship but for now we are focusing on talking and meeting when we can to have few drinks and work on doing a game. I’ve already thought of things we need to work on if we do get together. Has anyone else got back with an ex and how did it go?
