[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I could have written that word for word. And I'm happy to know someone in the world feels the same way. It's been 12 years for me and he is steadily in my dreams and random thoughts. The last time I saw him was the night I got engaged to DH. We ran into him on a side street in s city of 4 million people. Havent seen or had any contact since and my brain just cannot let it go.[/quote]

NP here, but you definitely aren’t the only one. I have an ex like this that I often dream about 1-33 times a month, probably. I wouldn’t say he takes up that much headspace during the day, but on some subconscious level he must be there because he enters my dreams- all. The. Time. It’s been nearly a decade since I’ve seen him last.

In my case, my relationship with my husband is very stable. Good, but stable. With ex, it was super turbulent. Super low lows, but also super high highs. I think in some sense I miss the excitement and the feeling of those really high highs. The makeup sex was always GREAT. Husband and I barely fight so it’s just not as....passionate?

Anyways...sympathy. Let me know if you find a cure!![/quote]

Interesting I could have also wrote this! My husband and I never ever argue. Our relationship is strong, stable, and comfortable. I have never had the intense passion I felt with old flame, but my husband was leaps and bounds the better long term partner, friend, and father.[/quote]

NP and I have an old flame from high school who visits me in my dreams as well. I haven't spoken to him in years and that was my decision. He sends me a fb friends request once a year or so I always ignore. Anyway the above absolutely brings true. It was such a young, passionate, volatile love whereas DH is stable, boring. [/quote]
