Anyone have an ex they can't get over-even years later?

I had a boyfriend that I couldn't get over for several years. I don't think I could handle being with him now because of the problems he has but I'm almost ashamed to admit that I might try if he came to me because he was the first guy I really, really, REALLY loved and we went through so much crap together. Sadly he wasn't always faithful and loved pot more then anything else. Once in a while I'll hear from him and he's tried to hook up for a "booty call" but the last two times I declined. I have so much going on in my life that I'm just not interested in those fleeting moments.

Ah Sugar, I wish I had words that might help you here. I am married to the man that I would never get over. Even over the internet, this forum and its many pages I feel how sincere you are and it tugs at my heart. I don't know what to say to you. Have you tried just doing an internet search? You might need to talk to him again to get full closure. Your feelings are not silly or stupid at all, you have a right to them and you own them.

I am glad to say that I am with my first and only husband. We have been happily married for nearly 29 years. He still turns me on and I dont ever think of anyone else.

Well i don't think you are stupid at all. After all they do say that we each have a soul mate. But i do feel that may be in this life you weren't meant to be together. But then again you never know. I how ever am in the same situation how ever it hasn't been years its only been a few months. Well like 7 months but i still love him even though i have a new boyfriend. I even still talk to him even though he broke my heart. I will always love him no matter what but i know that he was and is no good for me and i should move and and i think that it may be wise for you to move on as well. You will never be happy until you do. I know it may be hard but may be you should really just "let go". Best of luck to you.

I love this guy named Charles. I still love him today, it's been about 4 years since we have been together. We were together for about 3 years. I know that I won't be able to love anyone else as much as I have loved him or love anyone else the same. To this day if he asked if we could get back together, I would drop whoever I was with and try to be with him. I can't say that things would definitely work out, but my love for him has not changed by has grown strong due to absence. The only reason why I left was because I moved 4000 miles away. I know what it feels like to love someone that much. How I deal with it is just try to be happy. I look for the best in others, and I try to have relationships with other guys, but my main thing is to not compare them to him at all, it just reminds me of him, and that makes me sad. Taking one day at a time. You will never forget him, but try and aim all that effort towards doing something good for you. I hope that best!
