Twenty-one years ago I split from my ex, and still I occasionally

[raccoon]

have dreams about him. They aren't pleasant dreams. They're usually where we're back together again, and I'm feeling like, OMFG.

Anybody else?

1. Was there ever really closure?

[raccoon]

Apparently not. Where can you get it? nt

6. That is the hard part! It is funny that time doesn't always heal things.

[raccoon]

11. That's a big 10-4. nt

2. I do

but, they are unpleasant for the most part. I have been divorced from him since 1985.

3. I dream about my Ex

every night, pretty much. We're also best friends...it's weird. I'm used to it. :shrug:

4. I don't think about my ex often at all anymore, unless something happens to cause it

She did get remarried (for the 5th time) a few weeks ago. I thought about her for a few seconds when my daughter mentioned that to me.

5. Not anymore

I did for a long time. Edit: In my dreams, he was doing what he did in life at me: screaming, ranting, raging at life.

We didn't part well. You can't when one partner is emotionally manipulative and abusive.

I was always glad to wake up and remind myself that I didn't have that toxic man in my life anymore. We divorced in 97.

7. i was with my hs/college boyfriend for about seven years and still dream about him sometimes

but the dreams are always him telling me he never wants to talk to me again. it's tough because we've know each other since junior high, parted on good terms and he said we'd always be friends. he blew me off years ago and i just stopped trying.

my sister saw him a couple months ago and he said he'd like to hang out with me, but i haven't heard from him.

8. I still love all three of my exes. I know, I know. One should let go.

10. I love all of my exes except my ex-husband,

who has followed me across three states and two continents. Yes, one _should_ let go.

9. You're not alone. For me, it's like an occasionally-arising PTSD thing.

The single greatest thing about those years was the presence of his children, but it seems that his darkness drowns out their light in my dreams. x(

12. I've been broken up with my ex for 6 years now

This is not the ex i am still friends with, but another ex. We were together for 15 years and I still dream about him almost nightly. But they are good dreams,which sucks even more. They were dreams when he was kind to me,if I dreamed he was the asshole he turned out to be...I would be better off.

13. Yeah, I still do.

Weve been divorced for 13 years now. I did forget that it would have been my 37th anniversary last week, so I see that as progress!
