I blocked my ex looooong ago. We were deeply in love. Long story shirt that ended and I did some destructive things that really ruined our chance at a friendship. Someone on instagram just shared a new business page with a photo of my ex and what I assume to be his infant son in front on the door to his first self run business.
The most interesting wave of happiness and sadness washed over me and now I can't stop thinking about him. It's been over 14 years since we were together. I'm married, love my job, have two kids. Don't think about him day to day. I was excited to see he had a baby. Then sad. What the h*ll is wrong with me?! |
Shirt = short. Ha. |
Be happy for him and move on. He's doing well, you're doing well and the past is past. |
Its good that you felt a wave of happiness, that's an underlying generosity of spirit in you which is greater than any bitterness or resentment that may have been.
This is life, it surprises us all the time. |
Sounds to me like a pretty natural reaction. Congratulations on having moved on well. |
" What the h*ll is wrong with me?! " Good Question.
Why do so many women waste their time on this nonsense? |
OP, you had a moment from an important closed chapter in your life - embrace it, reflect on it and move on. Nothing will change the past and nothing you do now will change that moment. |
And please don't get in touch with him - not even for a "so happy for you". |
Noticed you didn't say you love your DH (or something to that effect)...curious isn't it? |
Reminds me of LaLa Land. Hope you both realize your dreams. |
+1 He's the one that got away, perhaps. Reminds me of Carrie on Sex and the City when she saw her ex, Aiden, wearing a Baby Bjorn. |
