I understand too. The thing for me was that when I really let myself start living my life, I found things that I never knew existed. Now, I've outgrown my ex. I don't have those feelings for him that I did when I was DBing. When I let go, I moved jumped forward.
I cannot even imagine being married to him now. We are two totally different people - I have very good memories of the early years and can talk about them and look at pictures and not feel sad. We don't have a relationship now b/c he is still stuck in his own mess. He hasn't moved forward or healed at all. But, someday he will probably be better and then we can be friendly. His mess isn't holding me back anymore.
Anyone feel like this?
