My boyfriend broke up with me after 1.5 years because he still loves his ex... He told me I am great and that he loves me but not like her and he's thinking in her all the time.. They were already talking for some weeks and he told me she also potentially would like to go back to him.. He told me probably he is doing a mistake but he needs to check that otherwise he will be doubting his hole life... I think she also only regained interest because we were together.. I just fell honestly I was fool I was coming from a very bad break up he made me fall in love with him and then throws me away.. When I see it now I feel he didn't love me he tried hard to move on and project her in me but ofc it did not work.. Now I feel like I lost him I wish them good not looking for revenge but the pain is bad and I just would like to feel not hurted also this girl she works same company as me.. I see her sometimes is very hard... Is such a cut off one day you are talking many times a day then out of a day no more.. Also I hate that I felt things were a bit different 4 months ago he made me feel I was psicotic and looking for validation I guess was just my gut feeling

Risedream, I can understand your pain because the same thing happened to me just the other day. He tried hard to love me the same way that he has for the true love of his life. They were together for a long time and I know they both belong together. My ex and I live in a very small community (he lives across the street from my parents and my house is a mile away from them). We have been friends for a long time and our social network is the same. The hardest part in all of it for the both of us is my daughter. She loves him so much and he loves her and even though we ended things on a good note, and she can visit him anytime she wants, I know things won’t be the same. The same way he is in love with the other person, is the same way I am in love with him. I truly thought we were going to get married and have children together and that he was going to be my daughter’s father. It’s the loss of knowing that future will never be, that is painful. Knowing that will never be your future and it’s the one you wanted. All the visions and the dreams and now they will only ever be that. We haven’t said anything to our friends or family and I know my family will be crushed and there will be people disappointed, or feel awkward when the two of us show up at the same place. I want to move on but I also don’t want to “date”. I want to be with someone who knows me and understands me already. I want a future with someone, but I know I cannot put my daughter through that again taking a risk. She has had so much loss in her life and I have to accept that maybe the best thing is to have it just be us for the rest of life. I am thankful that I have a wonderful, kind, and amazing daughter, but I really wanted to have more children and now that she is almost 11, I just see her growing up so fast. And I know she is lonely too and that she loved when it was the three of us. Its hard to handle all of these emotions and thoughts and the one person you used to go to is the person who is no longer there.

So sorry to hear this. He IS making a mistake. Tell yourself that an ex comig back after 1.5 years is not the woman of his dreams. I doubt that this will ever work. Also, he cheated on you morally for keeping in touch with her for weeks while he was still with you knowing that hr still had feelings for her. It was unfair to you. Be strong.
