It's because they don't realize what they've lost until its gone; that they have to let time runs its course until they yearn that feeling of being loved once again.
That's when regret starts to build up with feelings of guilt over time, which is why he contacted you years later because he knew what he had with you meant something, even if he didn't feel it at the time during the first year of the break-up. This is why I can't hesitate enough for couples to think carefully about breaking up because a lot of changes happen, some of them irreversible once it happens. What I find interesting is that he broke up with you without feeling regrets at the time and proceeded to move on so quickly without a second thought, like all those cherished memories and moments you two had together didn't mean much to him. That explains why you don't feel much towards him anymore, because if he really cared and loved you, he would have came back to you very quickly, realizing his mistakes and tried everything he could to fix things... but he didn't.
I feel really bad that you devoted so much of yourself to him, even with your "firsts" of all things passionate related! You sound like a wonderful girlfriend and you deserve so much more than what your ex did to you, even if he's trying to win your back. You'll know if someone loves you, when they can't imagine their life without you there. I wish you luck on finding a boyfriend who wants to be yours, always 😊

My first love realized pretty soon that her new boyfriend isn't a satisfying substitute for me. She tried several times over months to approach me until I was solo again and our common friends lured me to a party where she appeared without her boyfriend. I still loved her a bit and she used it to bring me into a triangle relationship.
This is what egoists do, who never cared about you but their own needs and interest, they want to own you and their new partner. The time frame how long they wait to approach you depends on two factors. How long they need to make sure their new partner will accept cheating. The second one is your status. If you have a partner and you seem to be happy they won't approach you but if you're single or your relationship seems to be not well, it's good time for them to check if they have still some power over you.
Don't let fool you, they don't love anyone for them are people who loved them once status symbols and assets.
Ohh I don’t know. I had dealt with this not too long ago. I think they realize that they’re lonely and that they lost someone who truly loved them and cared for them. It really depends on the person and situation.
I don't know. I've been hurt before, but once I'm gone... I'm gone. Adios!

Must people don't tend to go back into their past for long periods of time or till something aweful happens to them. Otherwise they keep doing it till they check their themselves. Even than some people don't care and simply do what they wanna do
Because they need to have time to see how their choice played out. You don't know you've made a mistake until something bad actually happens.
They were probably in denial and came to realize how wrong they were.
