Do you have that one ex that you can never seem to let go

I think many people have an ex they can never fully get over. In my case we have mutual friends so running into each other is a frequent event. We are still somewhat amiable and all that. The worst part is that we have tried to get back together a few times. But of course that never works out.

I just can't shake that feeling when I see her. I always found it very difficult to connect with others. I often times have to put on this phony persona during social interactions. It can be very draining. But she is one of the very few people, outside of my siblings, that I can really be myself with. I don't know what's wrong with me.

Why did it not work when ye got back together? Is she with someone else?

That's a good question. It's not like we fight a lot or anything. It just doesn't work out.

How long were you 2 together and have you had significant realationships since? What contact do you have besides through mutual friends? If you keep trying to make things work again when have you tried to let go? Letting go is a choice, one that make take time but still a choice and your choice. It's no wonder you cannot connect to others in this case if in your head you still have this amazing connection with an ex

I blew it too. THE most horrible feeling in the world.

No I don't, thank god. Sounds headwrecking. It certainly sounds like you're not over her. If I were you OP I'd cut contact 100%, even if that means moving or losing friends, and work on being happy being single. It sounds like you're wrecking your own head.
