Ever have an ex live rent free in your head?

Exorcism.

I did. For over a decade. Life events happened that suddenly made me see the relationship differently and I was preoccupied with my internal thoughts basically incapacitated by the internal process for a year during which I could not work. During this time a read a lot of books and articles about the type of relationship we had. Then out of the blue he contacted me and I was able to tell him my new perspective on it and it shifted his behavior towards me in such a way that I was able to let it go more. I still think about him and us and what happened very often but it is no longer the only thing I think about.

Still do, although it's more bearable now. Initially it messed with my head and made me second-guess my life choices. I felt like I could never be happy again and I had to come to realize I may never get over it and that's okay. It's just something I acknowledge and live with.
