Forward is the only way to go. It may have taken longer than expected, you may feel like you lost some years with your ex, but better late than never. You could still be in that situation. But instead you now have a guy who adores you. And I don’t care what anyone says. A guy should adore his woman. A woman should treat her man like a king. The problem is when it isn’t reciprocal.
My ex was actually very in to me. But cruel at the the same time. It was a real mind F situation. He wanted to spend time with me, was very physically affectionate. But the way he spoke to me and disregarded my feelings about pretty much everything was very gaslighting-like. And boy did it mess with my head. That’s probably why I wanted him back. He tricked me into thinking he really loved me. But he had absolutely zero respect for me.
All I can say is that having someone who backs up words with actions and vice verse is a keeper. The others don’t matter. I’m so glad you found hat you truly deserve. Always be cautious, but this really is the way it should be.
