I was with my ex for 7 years. We split 15 months ago. We didn't see or speak to each other for a while but we are now friends.
Have seen each other a few times recently as we always got on as friends.
I've dated in between him but didn't work out & to be honest it was just a distraction.
We split due to his family. A big disagreement where I fell out with a couple of members of his family after months of biting my tongue. He always said if it was just about us we could of worked through it as a couple as we were happy.
He says things like it'd be hard for me to see you move on but I want you to be happy as you deserve it and you're too good a person not to be. Even jokes around about us dating others but then gets aggy. He's not dated since.
A couple of months before we split I lost a baby which I went through mostly alone as he wasn't there for me which he admits now he regrets etc and always apologies. Openly admits he isn't over me but is very good at burying his head in the sand. Still has photos of us in the same place in the house.
I know we can't get back together but why can't I let go or imagine being with anyone else? Please help x
