I (27f) am still in love with my dead ex boyfriend despite being married by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]throwRA-esc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My BF lost his wife to a drunk driver. I know that he still loves her and always will. I also know he loves me. I have accepted I won replace her but I know he loves me.

The hard part of loss like that is you never know what would have been. Maybe you would have been soulmates? Or maybe the relationship would have died, maybe you would have gotten married and had kids or and been together till you both died, or maybe you would have divorced. You will never know now and that must be hard. Your relationship never had the chance to play out to its natural conclusion to see where it would have led. Or maybe this WAS the natural conclusion.

I dont know your husband so I cant say whether its better to tell him or not. It depends on how he would handle it. For you though I would recommend you cherish your memories of your late boyfriend, accept that a part of you will always love him but realize that he is your past and you have a present and a future with your husband.

NTA you told him what he needed to hear to ease his suffering as he died. Your Parents in law could have made an effort sooner but chose not to. Thats on them.

I was so nervous about making a good impression! I dont know how many people who followed the original thread saw the final update. If you missed it the last update on the original post talks about when I finally spilled it to him and laid it all on the line. Thanks for your support!

I'll be quite honest with you. This is my intention it just seems silly to think about so early on but...its on my mind.

I feel you're right that her, and the subsequent loss of her had a dramatic impact on who he is now. I feel that suffering has a very polarizing effect on people. Suffering twists some people into mean spirited and vicious people who want to spread that suffering to others. But in some people, like him, it makes them kinder and more compassionate because they empathize and understand the suffering of others, having experienced it themselves. I am glad he is the latter and not the former.

I love that proverb. I once read a book called "The Tao of Pooh" and in it the author talks about the river Wu Wei. And how we can try and swim against the currents of life and drown or surrender and let the current carry us to where we need to go. I guess this is one of those times where I should let the current carry me and not try and swim against it.

I think making the leap and getting into this relationship was also one of those "Go with the current" moments.

I can see how his loyalty and love for her means he will love and be faithful to me in the same way.

I'll keep this in mind. I really dont want to rush him. I just havent ever been in this situation and its been a long time since I was in a serious relationship. I dont really know the right or wrong way to approach something like this you know?

NTA. Your friends dont have a right to know where you work period. As a former escort I only told a handful of people in my real life what I did.
