About 18 months ago an 8yr relationship I was in ended. It was his decision to end it. I was so upset but tried very hard to move on.
I haven't met anyone else (nor wanted to really, I'm just at the point where my dc are independent and my life is my own). I have made no effort at all to contact my ex, but truthfully, I haven't stopped thinking of him.
About an hour ago I happened to drive by a house where his van was in the drive. He's a tradie so obviously working there. And omg, just like that, the hurt is right back. it's upset me so much. I'm back in that place I was in after he ended it. I feel sick and sad :(.
I'm actually quite shocked at my own reaction. I don't want to feel this way but I do. All those feelings of rejection and not being good enough and "if only" have hit me hard.
