Ex and I broke up over a year ago. Suppose life got in the way. I broke up with him as I was never made a priority and I felt he didn’t listen to me. We stayed friends and have in the past when single hooked up. But always back to friends.
We had bubbled with separate single friends, but both our bubbles burst. Our single friends got together. My ex and I have bubbled since December, seeing each other 2 times a week.
I wfh and he normally comes over to mine to chill. It used to be for a few hours, but it’s now many hours and we eat together. At weekends we would stay over - we live 30 mins away - but both share a bed even though we have spare rooms. Last weekend he brought a dressing gown and we lounged about till mid afternoon. Dressing gown is very familiar!
It’s been nice to have a human to cuddle and we have hooked up once, few weeks ago. Thing is I am not too sure if we are using each other as lockdown company or we are slowly developing something? Before we rushed into a relationship and had different expectations. Now no pressure we enjoy.
He has surprised me by remembering things I told him over a year ago, meaning he did listen. He brings my favourite food round and has fixed lots of things in my house. He never did that before. He has supported me through a minor op, which he hasn’t done Before, excusing himself as too busy to remember. This was the final straw last time.
He also texts me every morning and tries to continue the conversation with bland texts or texts about his day. Beforehand he would ignore texts or not text much. It seems he is more attentive. I am in no way pushing texts.
We are both different now as I was going through some stress and anxiety, him family issues. We were now honest with each other, previously showing the best side.
I like out dynamic now, but part of me is wondering what’s going on? This is the guy I wanted in the first place amd had seen when he had been going out with other people. He has never shown this side before to me. I am very confused and wary that he may go back to what he was before. Or that it’s lockdown boredom and I will be less of a priority when life resumes.
Wondering if I should just let things organically grow! I want to see him, but don’t want us to go back to dysfunctional again.
Help. Confused
