I might just need a kick up the bum. My husband and I split over 3 years ago, but dragged our heels getting our divorce sorted. It's underway but seems to be taking forever despite neither of contesting or requesting anything.
We remained good friends throughout and there are no hard feelings either way, we just didn't work out.
I've now been spending some time with him following him being hospitalised after being assaulted, and it's brought back feelings. We have seen each other before then and also occasionally stayed over without this ever having been an issue until now. The only difference is probably the vulnerability on his side which I think I respond to, and which he has always struggled to admit to.
We definitely got close again and I'm feeling so conflicted, because this feels/ felt like what we had and lost and I am swept up in emotions. He was by no means an angel when we were together, but he was and still the best person I ever went out with or possibly got to know closely.
Does it ever work out for people to get together? Like ever, or am I completely deluding myself?
I probably sound like an idiot and we were probably very stupid to have waited so long to split.
