I've recently reconnected with my ex boyfriend. We were together for three years before he left me for another woman (they were together one month after we broke up). It left me crushed and heartbroken. The stupid thing is that…

I love him and know he loves me but I know this isn't healthy for me.

"I have only talked to my ex five or six times since we broke up and he always seems fine. He has a wonderful wife and family and is doing well."

She said to remember that I broke up with her over a year ago and she's heard very little from me, so I shouldn't be surprised that she's with someone.

On top of that, last September, I made a really bad decision and got in touch with an old flame.

She again regretted her decision two days later, but this time I wasn't willing to take her back.

I reached out to her twice during the early weeks of the pandemic to see how she was doing, but never heard back.

The spark was still there and there was no denying it, but it had just been so toxic we didn't want to hurt each other again.

Even when we live together for weeks upon end, we get along better than a dream.

She is uncomfortable talking to me because she does not want her husband to find out.

Sometimes it’s multiple times per day.

Hey, I saw your Instagram story about contacting exes after someone put it in their story (someone related to my ex). I split up with my ex pre-corona. Ten years of our lives together. Formative ones, as well (25-35). We…

Dear Meredith, I'm a bisexual woman in my first long-term relationship with my boyfriend of one year. I recently reconnected with an old friend from high school whom I had an intense crush on during my senior year. She ended…

I told him I didn’t want him talking to her and that if she reaches out to him again I want to see the texts.

It's already 11 years later now; he is married, has a young son. and lives minutes from me.
