I was talking to a friend last night who mentioned that she still has feelings for her ex's though she appears to be in a happy marriage! Personally I do wonder from time to time how my ex' are but I don't have feelings for them.

Which has me thinking: is is normal to have feelings for your ex of years ago that you are not even in contact with?

Yes and no. It's called the blessed state of indifference!

My ex and I both regret our marriage ending, but both blame it on the same factors and know that it wouldn't work out for the same reasons that it failed in the first place.

Most of why our marriage failed was due to his mother and his inability to deal with her hatred of me and manipulation of him. That hasn't changed.

Very interesting...this is exactly how my own marriage ended (mother-in-law). But I don't regret this particular breakup.

THE EX, the one that I fell in love with and who dumped me, I still think about him 30 years later. I guess it was because it felt like it was supposed to work, he was supposed to be the one. My brain just never let that go. I fell into a depression for awhile and it took 2 years to really get over that enough to let someone else in.

My daughter is going through this now. She was expecting to get engaged soon but instead he left her without warning and doesn't want to talk to her or see her. It's tough, and she isn't, but she will be after this. She will get over it too someday, but she will never forget how she felt about him.
