I split up with DDs dad 2 and a half years ago now after a lot of years of controlling behaviour were together 10 yrs. I was single for 5 months and met a guy but I started to see cracks appearing during lockdown and ended the relationship.
I've been spending a few random days with my ex and DD becuase weve been getting along, originally decided to get together every year for birthdays' Christmas etc. But as weve become really good friends we have spent time together at weekend taking DD to her lessons.
The last couple of months' I've started to become quite attached (he doesn't know this) and I never ever thought I would again. It's been getting me down. I've thought about him a lot. When anything good happens or bad hes the first person I want to tell. I've also realised that a lot of friends will let me down or are not around when I really need them.
I had some bad news about my auntie today and when I dropped DD off he seemed upset for me and listened to me talk over and over again. I just feel like he listens purely, and I know out of everybody if I needed anything he would be there Asap for me.
I don't know why I feel so attached all of a sudden
