I can't really talk to my real life friends about this...in some ways I feel totally stupid so feel free to send me some slaps.
I found out this weekend my ex who I was with for 5-6 years before my H, just got married. I speak to him here and there, last time I spoke to him was a few months ago properly and got a new year text. I was elated to hear he got married, last time I spoke to him he implied that he wasn't with anyone, and was lonely. I took this with a pinch of salt (he could be manipulative when I was with him). He also rang me 2 Christmasses ago drunkenly and all I caught was that he still loved me(he was truly hammered). I pretended I hadn't heard what he said as tbh I am married and although I will always love him in some way it was just not meant to be.
Part of me being happy he got married was I don't have to feel guilty anymore about being happy with H (H was his friend, and was a complex situation). However well meaning people are now telling me he was engaged when that Christmas call was made, he still thinks of me etc etc. I am ignoring all of it, I have moved on. But I feel so angry and hurt and still not free of it all.
I have removed his email, phone number, ignoring all the well meanings (should have done this long ago, I know I know)...but I found myself crying, I just booed my head off. He was the love of my life, but we tore each other apart it was wrong on so many levels. I just about broke free from him, I have no regrets and my H is the person I am meant to be with no doubts in my head (I left my ex to be with him).
Is this normal? It feels like when we split up all over again but on a smaller scale. Or am I just weird ?
