Sometimes is best to let go when we are not ready for someone else we might hurt them. Unfortunately, there might still be the “what if I had given it a chance?” In our minds.
It’s good to write those feelings down and clear your thoughts. Thank you for sharing.

Angie, its perfectly natural for you to think about this person. You have history, you shared many things. Just because you aren't ready to be in another relationship, dont beat up yourself. I purposely stayed by myself for over 2 years, I needed to find myself and I needed to like myself again, something I had stopped doing for a long time. As bad as my ex was, I still wondered what he was doing and if he ever thought of me. But then I realized this was for the best, we were no good together and he was hell bent on destroying me. Dont go back just because its familiar. Hugs you-

Its tempting especially when nursing a broken heart to leap into another relationship that in all likelihood wont be at all suitable in the long run. ( they call it a rebound for a reason). Making time just for you allows you to explore who you are and what you want and need out of life without the destraction of someone else clouding the waters. Familiar doesn't help in the long run because your just treading water and will probably end up making the same mistakes again. Be strong and find yourself and when you are ready you will find what you need to make you happy again. Best wishes Milly x
