Anyone else miss their ex that isn't good for them?

Nope. Although I certainly have times when I wish they would have stepped up to the occasion for me. I'll get the we could have been a great couple if she had just been more present type of thoughts.

All of the women I've had longer term entanglements with have turned out to be people who, for whatever reason, couldn't be bothered to put in work to be present for me. It was the little stuff that got to me, you know? Not sending me a happy birthday wish, for example. Not being willing to send the occasional text or even call because she hates texting.

It's a consistent theme, and I'm not sure what causes it... It's like, if it wasn't something she would automatically do anyway on her own, none of my exes could be asked to do it for me. And that really sucks, in a relationship. Your effing boyfriend isn't important enough to take a little time out of your day to communicate the bare minimum?

Like... really?

Yes me. She was cheating on me for a year and gave me an std. Social services were also involved because she was beating our child. Her younger sister had announced that she was getting married b4 us in a big f*ck off expensive wedding. Anyway I wouldn't take her back and she got butthurt and went to the police. She's with the other guy and she butthurt because I raised issues about this 50 year old guy around our kid because of his record with kids. She sends my a threatening solicitor letter every month and had tried to get me nailed with false allegations of domestic violence, verbal abuse and stalking.

Thing is I loved being a family man, father and husband even if we weren't yet married and I was absolutely head over heels for her didn't hesitate in sticking by her when she got pregnant.

I suppose I mourn for our relationship and it's like she is dead to me.

From what you described she’s a POS. Guys and men really have to level up and not tolerate bullshit, especially from women who are just pure evil and satanic. These types of women don’t deserve love and compassion from men/guys. That’s such a messed up story. Seriously man, forget her, you’re young, this is where a guy shapes himself to be a man. Don’t be a guy who in 10 years is dealing with these types of women in the dating pool. You’ll find someone 10000000x better only if you believe your worth and go out there and look, I’m assuming your single atm, just keep looking to find the right girl who is actually nice.

No but I do miss my life back when I was still with him and who I was as a person. I lived in the city, had a dog, a nice car (that my parents paid for lol), just freshly graduated and was still eager and excited about life. Now I live back in my hometown, my dog has since passed away, driving a used car, and no longer excited about life lmao.

You’re way too young to be this jaded! I know your heart probably feels raw and you’re hurting, esp if the breakup is fresh, but try to keep yourself busy with other stuff and you’ll see that this will eventually pass.

I miss the good side of her but I don’t miss the bad side of her

[EmyyWolf]

Duhh. I’m sure we all do.
But it’s not that he’s not good for me. More like he doesn’t specifically like me like that. 🤷🏻‍♀️ can’t do much about that 🤷🏻‍♀️

We can all miss companionship sometimes, being able to talk to them and having them understand you more than most people. But at the end of the day, it was decided you guys weren't compatible with each other and you should move on.

[rienna888]

Yes, I keep seeing people who look like him recently too. It sucks because I don’t have the balls to block him on what’s app even though I know I should.

[FunkyMonkee]

I don't so much miss her as I miss what we had for the bulk of those 10 years.

[Fireguy17]

Nope.
I might think of them once in a while, but not really miss them.

[exitseven]

I do not miss her. Just miss some of the things we did.

[Anonymous]

Not really. I mean of course I still have feelings for her, I always will. But I know it would be suicide to open that wound again. She's simply too toxic.

[dragoblack]

That's the Stockholm syndrome talking. Dont go back to a toxic, abusive, ( more than likely) manipulative, ex.

[shortster]

A bit. Until I remember why she wasn't good for me.

[Amandanator]

Nope. Exes are always bad news. Move on and never look back.

[Account]

Nope. I can never relate to any of this.

[kylee2437]

Absolutely not.

[BTigers96]

I miss the sex, that's it. :)

[Danny_dan92]

Nope. I wish her the best though.

[SoJust]

No I don't miss ex girl

[andy530]

Yeah I’m guilty of this

[ThaMaskedMarvel]

Nooooope.

[Emmytexrex]

No I don't
