Still Dreaming About the Ex

Last night, I had a dream about my ex boyfriend and his new wife...again. In fact, I think I had two different dreams about them and their life together. This happens pretty frequently, as often as 2-3 a week at times. Sometimes it really upsets me and others not so much but for some reason I can't seem to get him completely off my mind.
We broke up a year and a half ago after being together 8 years and at the time we planned on marrying and starting a family together. He has been the only love I've ever known and my only committed relationship. It was a very nasty breakup and we haven't spoken since but I find that not a day goes by that he does not pop into my mind. I think that is because my dating life is non-existant and because my 8 years with him were my happiest and part of me just wishes I could have that again.
Can anyone relate...a little?

I can absolutely relate. My one real heartbreak (we broke up 3 years ago) still haunts my dreams sometimes. He has been with someone new for about 2 years now and I have never seen her but a mutual friend described her and I find myself looking at women on the bus and at the gym who fit the description and wonder if that's what she looks like.
It doesn't stop me from dating and I really think that I am emotionally available, but it's there. I know that he asks about me too so I think that some people, no matter how things end, will always haunt you a little.
It will get better with time, though.
I still think about my ex, too, and I have dreams with him in them occasionally.
Thanks for your response.
I also lost my father. It'll be 2 years on January 10th. I don't dream about him nearly as much as I hoped to.
But thanks for the thoughts.
