Still have feelings for my Ex

This is weird and painful, especially since I am in such a strong relationship, but i think I still have feelings for my ex.


We had a sexy glamorous relationship, but he always seemed to be holding himself back. There was a racial difference and I honestly think that was a big part of what it was. His family would not have approved.


I was in love with him, so in love. But that was tears ago. ..(hahhhahhaha...freudian slip!), it was years ago, and I have moved on. We did that little dance where we split got back together, split.... But he is a very strong willed guy. We had this final fight and he told me "...good luck with law school". I understood he meant that by time I finished we would no longer be in touch.

I would say that seeing a photo of an ex you used to feel so strongly about, especially one of him and his wife, and on top of that, it seems you didn't know he was married, nor does it sound as though you are married--- I'd say all that would definitely scratch open some long-closed wounds.

But that doesn't mean you have to do anything about it, nor does it mean you still have feelings for him, nor does it mean you're not happy in your current relationship or that it's somehow lacking. I think that's the huge mistake people make time and time again when stuff like this happens, very normal stuff, and then they go and act on what they think must be residual feelings. Don't make that mistake.

Give yourself a little time to get over the shock of seeing the picture of him and his wife, and refocus your energy back on your current relationship. You'll be glad you did.

Best of luck,
