Trying to remain friends with an ex is difficult especially if it isn’t reciprocated; I’ve come to notice this recently on my own. I’m noticing they don’t want to relive what they have chosen to let go and it only can really work if you have both accepted it’s truly over. In my heart I want to believe he will come back even though I ended it.

We were at a part of our relationship where he was rebuilding his life after ending a 10 year marriage and no longer really knew who he was anymore, nor did he really understand who I was, but I still loved him regardless of it. We emailed one another and spoke one day, but I haven’t heard from him since. I want to know he is still there thinking about me, missing me, wanting me to be there. I want to understand why it’s so easy to just let me go.

I have friends that remain cordial with their exes, but what I’ve seen is that they both tend to have a mature understanding as well a certain level of selfishness that allows them to do so.

Even though there is no response I still send him emails; I want him to know I still care cause it helps me.

We were all burden with the curse of being born to love and cursed to feel that makes this even harder than ever imagined.
