Still miss my ex after 5 years. Should I contact her?
Hi Everyone
Hope someone can give me some advice.
I split up with my ex 5 years ago. We were together for 3 years and lived together for 2 of them.
We used to run a business together and work ended up ruining our relationship. We spent al our time working and never made anytime for ourselves. The last 6 months together was spent arguing. It got so bad that I felt I had to leave. It was the worst mistake of my life.
I met someone else on the rebound. Which was good at first. Turns out she was only after my money. By the time I got to know her properly it was too late. 4 months after we met she told me she was pregnant (Told me she was using contraceptive injection, so I didn't use a condom). I felt obliged to stay with her, do the honorable thing. We were together until the baby was 1. I left her because I was so miserable. All the time I was with her I couldn't stop thinking about the fabulous woman I had left.
There have been a few other women since then.
But I still think about my ex all the time, even dream about her and the fabulous times we had together.
We haven't spoke since we split up, I have only bumped into her once in the past 5 years. That was about 6 months ago. She was in a local shopping precinct with her parents. She said hello and that was that.
I'm seriously thinking about contacting her and letting her know how I feel. I don't know how to go about it though. Or even if it's a good idea. It's been so long.
PLEASE HELP
