My ex boyfriend Dan and I began dating 2 years ago. Things were perfect for awhile and I was truly content. I loved him very much and wanted nothing more than to enjoy our time together. We discussed marriage and how we planned to spend our futures together after we finished graduate school.
However, after about a year, Dan moved away to pursue a his degree while I remained a college student in a different state 12 hours away. We tried to continue the relationship long distance, visiting as often as possible. We were able to keep things positive for about 8 months. Unfortunately, the distance began taking its toll and we grew apart. We became irritated with eachother easily and visits became more of a chore than an excitement.
This past summer, Dan and I decided the time had come to break up and pursue our separate lives. Although it was a difficult decision, we both felt it was for the best at the time.
I have gone on a few dates since my breakup, but no one has been able to make me feel as Dan had. Over the past month or so, I began to miss him a great deal. These feelings have become much stronger recently and I find myself thinking of Dan most of the day and crying myself to sleep at night. I want so badly to rekindle things with him, but he seems to have moved on with his life and rarely contacts me.
I really don't know how to handle this situation. A few months ago, I was sure I no longer had such strong feelings for him. Now, I miss him and want him more than ever. Although the only relationship option for us at the moment is more long distance, is it worth pursuing? I wish I knew where these intense feelings are coming from and why they have resurfaced 3 months after the breakup...
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks so much,
pj

This has happened to me before.
