Have you ever dated anyone who could not emotionally heal over an ex?

Hi Hillaryt1123, Yes I have, my last ex who was still finacially attached to his ex-wife after 8 years of divorce, she would call him when she needed money and they still had title together on the house and a couple of cars. I had to break up with him two years ago due to him drinking and mistreating me when he drank. He passed three weeks ago unexpectely, heart attack in his sleep, it was hard because I always had the hope of what it's, now that he's gone completely, I can move on now completely without wondering if it can ever be again. I do agree that it's sometimes hard to move on from an ex and I wonder if it's because they still want the ex back. Are you dating someone who is attached to his ex, is it an ex-significant other or spouse, plus how long have they been broken up. There are a lot of factor that come into play when someone is not able to move on. It could also be anger that they never healed from. This person may not be a good candidate for dating because he's not availalbe to give to someone else.

ekatie23, I agree with you. I personally think it would be harder to date someone who is emotionally unstable because they would not know what they want, change moods alot, and hard to read or please. It could be very challenging.
