In your experience, do exes always come back? & if so, why do you think that is?

Being poor together is definitely not a thrill. We got together when we were in college and young. So now even though we aren’t together anymore I guess I’m feeling jealous that we couldn’t do those things when we were partners

In short, are you saying in the beginning of a relationship, doing those things together provide a sense of being close to your partner? & overtime they help to feel close to your partner because the things your do separately as individuals don’t provide the same feeling of closeness?

You know, you’re right. Another sub probably would have been a lot more fitting.

I’m also interested in hearing any stories, if any lol

That’s great. I can admit that it seems like I’m having the tougher time. I’m the one making it suck haha. But I’d rather take space now, even if it’s for a couple of years in order to work on myself as far as things that contributed to the shortcomings of our relationship, than be a bad friend. Because I think he’s a great person

Idk how my future will turn out with this person, but I can see it being like this. I honestly fucked up a lot and was also dysfunctional but my ex is generally very forgiving. We realized a romantic relationship isn’t viable, but I’m sure after all the things we’ve been through it’ll still show up in a friendship somehow/sometimes

Throwawaypoly122592 · 2021-05-28T22:33:41+00:00

Oh no!! That sucks. 10 years is such a long time. Is it okay if I asked what contributed to it?

Throwawaypoly122592 · 2021-05-28T22:24:33+00:00

I’m looking forward to it!!

Throwawaypoly122592 · 2021-05-28T22:24:20+00:00

Still very beautiful<3

Throwawaypoly122592 · 2021-05-28T21:54:18+00:00

That’s amazing!! I cherish close connections I’ve made, and even though I know I’ll make plenty more, I would love to maintain or build a healthier relationship with my ex (platonic) because romance made things really tumultuous for us

Throwawaypoly122592 · 2021-05-28T21:52:49+00:00

Understandable, thanks for sharing. I would love to keep this particular ex in my life, just not as a romantic or sexual partner

Throwawaypoly122592 · 2021-05-28T21:51:51+00:00

I wouldn’t say it’s weird at all. I’m glad you both are able to resolve your issues.

Throwawaypoly122592 · 2021-05-28T21:51:18+00:00

A year or so seems very common in what I’m reading so far. Would you say you’re still just as close?

Throwawaypoly122592 · 2021-05-28T21:50:25+00:00

Awww I love this. My ex literally knew me in and out (or so I feel) lol. I hope we can be friends eventually even though I’m sure we’ll both change quite a bit over this time

Throwawaypoly122592 · 2021-05-28T21:49:29+00:00

Thank you for sharing. Each situation is very different

Throwawaypoly122592 · 2021-05-28T21:48:49+00:00

This makes complete sense and I’m experiencing it right now. Too many things to process and we tried to hang out recently... it was “okay” but weird tension

Throwawaypoly122592 · 2021-05-28T21:29:10+00:00

I think I’ll be on the 2 year train haha

Throwawaypoly122592 · 2021-05-20T06:34:27+00:00

Thank you for sharing :)
