Why did my boyfriend leave me for his exwife?

[Anonymous]

I guy I was dating for a year, just told me he is going back to his exwife, they were divorced more than 10 years they have one child together, I dont understand what I did wrong. Will he ever get over her?

You did not necessarily do anything wrong; if you had, that would explain him breaking up with you but not going back to his ex. He simply wants to reconcile with his ex and that requires a break up with you, even though you may have been a perfect girlfriend.

Maybe he misses his child, maybe he misses family life with her, and perhaps his memories of all the problems have faded and he remembers the good stuff but not the bad.

In any event, it is likely to fail and then he will want to return to you. You CAN'T allow that to happen!

They have history together. They also have a kid. You're not going to compete with that, especially because sometimes it's "cheaper to keep her" as the saying goes.

He prefers her over you obviously lol. You were the back up option
