Hello everyone,
I need your advice, I am sure I know the answers but I have been struggling with a sad situation.
I work in a international company, I got together with a colleague that at that moment only had a girlfriend – was already divorced- and moved to my country. I helped him as I was the only one that speaks his language and we got friends really fast. He is 22 years older than me… we had a real talk after 4 months of being hooking up, about our feelings.
One year after he got married with his girlfriend -claiming visa issues.
I still had something going on with him… that was for 3 years and then his wife moved back to his country and we started living together – well for 4 months as he also had to moved back to his residence country, his contract was finished.
We had the most funny months, we realize that we understand each other very good, we loved each other but anyway I never understand why he could not finish his marriage to be with me. Now he is gone and I am really sad…. I am not sure if it´s correct to keep contact with him, of course it was always a relation with ups and downs, because I felt in 2nd position.
I know now with distance it is easier to move on, but everything here reminds me of him… I miss him.

You miss him.
You wrote: “I am sure I know the answers” (your first line).
What are the questions?

April 9, 2018 at 11:23 am #201507AdiParticipantHow can I move on? is it correct to keep contact with him? sometimes I feel angry I don´t understand why he didn’t stayed with me… am I going to find a man for me?
April 9, 2018 at 11:37 am #201519AnonymousGuestDear Adj:
You asked: “Is it correct to keep contact with him?”
The answer to this question may be the same as your answer to my question: was it correct, for you (was it to your benefit), to have this relationship with him, looking back?
(Regarding whether it will be correct, or beneficial for him or for his now wife, we can discuss it later, if you want)
Regarding how to move on, this has to do with the question and answer to the above, I believe.

This man took you for a ride, I’m afraid. The vast age difference and the wife are two red flags. You fell for the classic “visa issues” excuse. An older woman would laugh at that reason. Sorry to be so tough, but next time find someone closer to your age than your parents’ age and someone who is single.
Best,
Inky
April 10, 2018 at 8:09 am #201637AdiParticipantThank you guys…. I know I shouldn’t´t invest more time on this, he is back in his country and I find very silly to be affected of something or someone that is far away from here and not coming back….

I hope you do manage to move on, and I hope that “The love of (your) life” is yet to appear. How wonderful that would be.

First of all starting a relationship with a guy who is not single is never a good idea in my opinion. But hey, we are human and sometimes what we know, and what are instincts want us to do is different. I think there was true feelings between the both of you for sure, but now you should think of your self and let him go. Keep in mind that everything passes. One of the things that work for me when im dealing with a break up is to think that- THIS IS THE BEST THING FOR ME happening right now. I know its hard, and memories play in your head, and its so true, you are in love. But it passes.And it gets better.

Missing someone whom you had a good experience with is natural. However dwelling and staying in the past does not serve you.
Meditation on those feelings is a way of getting through them and then gives you the ability to be in the present moment.
What do you have around you now? Who do you have in your life now? What do you appreciate today? What are you grateful for? Write those things down. All that helps you to be in the Now.
