Hello! Advice or any thoughts welcome…
I was in an 8 year relationship that ended in 2023. We owned a house together, all shared friends etc and was a huge shock to me. My ex said he felts we weren’t communicating well, he was unsure if we had the same timeline for children (I wanted them sooner) and he was concerned he’d lived his whole adult life in a relationship. I was extremely hurt and it took a very long time to feel better.
I forced myself to go on one online date 8 months later and met my now boyfriend. I’ve been with him for over a year now. We have a nice time together but never said I love you. I’m an emotional, romantic person and he is not. I feel so angry, irritated and confused when I’m with him because he is so lovely but I just don’t love him and he’s never said it to me either. We both have busy jobs so see eachother once a week.
My ex has said he wants to be with me again. I can’t help feeling excited by this as I really really loved him and we’ve now been apart for 2 years, both had 2 rounds of therapy and are much stronger people. Do you think it would be a bad idea to go back to this ex? Should I break up with my current boyfriend?
i’m turning 30 this year and I’m so upset at the thought that I’m not married or even with a person I love :( I want children and I want to be happy but I can’t help feeling sad and left out when friends are so in love , getting engaged and married or having children. I feel like I’ve been left behind. I don’t know what to do! Any thoughts very much welcome, sorry for the ramble
