As somebody already mentioned, it is a dating relationship and we dated many others before we married our W. I have two ex's and have had many gf before, between and after my Marriages. I still think of them all from time to time, but the two I married were the only ones I truly loved. All the others were "comfort & convenience" relationships. I knew I didn't want to marry them, but I still enjoyed their company. They were in my life at that time for a reason, but it wasn't for a long term relationship. Maybe that's how B thought of you. Maybe you were better friends then potential lovers. Kindred spirits so to speak. You helped each other along at a particular intersection of your lives. I think we're touched by many souls during our journey though life. They serve their purpose and we serve ours, then we move on.
The world's population is just under 7 billion. There are plenty of single or divorced B's out there that are just as comforting and/or interesting to talk with. There is no scarcity and there never will be. Move on because there is no other choice for us. It took us "dumpees" a lot of pain and anguish to learn and deal with that reality.
As Dr Suess I think once said... "Don't be sad it's over, be happy it happened"
