Do you still find yourself thinking about your EX?

I do think about an ex of mine, everytime I see a firetruck go by. My last ex boyfriend is such a sweet man, I still love him, but out of compassion, as it should be. Actually, he was the one that opened my eyes to get away from my exhusband. It's funny because my last marriage started because of him, and ended with him. And...my ex still wanted to give that man's name to our youngest child. Strange. But, what pops into my mind? How loving and caring he was to me. I remember how his voice calmed me down and lifted my spirits. Why did we break up? It wasn't so much the long distance, but our age difference. I wanted him to life and be with someone around his age and I felt I was holding him down. Perhaps I wasn't, but it was what I thought to be best at the time. My current boyfriend knows and understands all of this. But, my heart goes to the soldier, not the fire fighter...but it doesn't mean I don't respect either of them anymore or any less than the other when it comes to duty. *Pleiades

yes, before i met him again last year. he was my first love and first boyfriend and our memories are really hard to forget. we have good times of course but our bad times affected me much and unforgotten. but after exchanging emails which started last year of february, before we meet again and gave him my forgiveness, i never thought of him again. he was such a gentleman but a serious person, disciplinarian and super conservative. an opposite person of my husband of 18 years.

There are moments that a memory of my exes pops up to my head and these are the thinking of what is he doing at present, if how is he and his family, or where is he now. The thinking is mainly about his present life not more on what we had before - whether good memories or bad. I had moved on and have my present relationship, so i consider my past relationships as over.

well, i do sometimes even though i know im happy with the person im with right now it never stops me from thinking of my ex ever once in a while, he was my bestfriend then became my boyfriend and for some reason i've already forgotten we broke up and sometimes i still feel bitter about it..lol.

funny thing is i just found myself thinking about my ex today.. i don't know what it was that triggered everything but i just did.. i wasn't really thinking about anything specific about him, all i know is that he was in my head and i can't get him out of it.. it's been 3 years and 7 months since we broke up but i don't know why i still have him in my head.. he was my best friend.. he was my first love even.. my first kiss.. first hug.. i have definitely moved on but i guess im still holding on to those feelings that i had when i was with him.. maybe because we understood each other and we were just together.. i miss him so much.. and i miss his friendship and i just miss himm

i do believe it is rather healthy to think about your EX, it all depends and the porpuse you give to those thoughts, if you are comparing your curent partner (what a waste of time), if you are still wallowing about him ( what for), but if you keep them in mind just to understand (objectively) how much you have grown since that relationship, that could hepl your self steem!!!

Yes you are right their are many good times shared between us and sometimes I do remember by ex and also the good or bad memories strikes the mind sometimes

hi bubbles, not that often, just thinking if what my life would be if i'm still with him or if i marry him. but life is good to me! i should say i was happy that we did not make it with my ex. we have to move on and look forward. past is past!
