Do you feel grateful to your ex?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

I deeply cherish and admire the love we shared. While it’s gone and I no longer miss it nor do I feel nostalgic, I walk with my head up, knowing - I am one of the very lucky women to have been loved as deeply, intensely, gently and fiercely as I was loved.

I am so grateful, in the moments when I have tiny little self-doubt, I remember how I used to be the Goddess for the man who was equal to the God for me and It makes me see my worth much more…

I am so grateful to him and while I no longer have any wish or nostalgia to return the past, and I optimistically look in the future and am open to love again, I do still feel deep appreciation and I wish him all the very best in life, I’d never wish to hear him feeling bad, I want him to reach all his dreams, I want him to be the happiest man and I am walking the streets, proudly, smiling, knowing

I was the love of someone’s life and I can still be. Because I know how a man should treat me and I’ll never allow less and I’ll give in my all as well.

Feels strangely wonderful… I am happy currently and I think my current happiness is largely defined by my past experiences. I want to tell him

“Thank you…

Thank you for everything.

Thank you for loving me the way you did and thank you for letting me to love you the way I did. Farewell my first love.”

I'm very thankful to my ex. While we're no longer together we also shared a very deep love with each other. i've never felt that kind of love for anyone nor had I ever experienced that kind of deep love from another person. But she showed me a love that I thought was more and more rare in this world. We constantly encouraged each other whenever one of us felt discouraged and was generally each other's pillar of strength. We also shared so many good memories together, many trips to different states, different parks, many dates, and just fun down times like watching our favorite shows together, walking our dogs down the trail around our old apartment. just a lot of good memories that i'll cherish and hold on to forever. and besides the good memories, she helped me grow stronger in a way. I used to have very bad social anxiety and at times that can still creep in but not to the extent it was before i met her. By her being by my side and us going many places together and meeting different people I was able to come more out of my shell and be more comfortable with interacting with others. She also gave me the encouragement to just go after what i want instead of sitting around pondering over if I should or what could go wrong{I'm a overthinker} and if it wasn't for that encouragement she gave i would've never tried so many new things that took me out of my comfort zone nor would I have experienced so many new and great things for letting fears and overthinking hold me back. So i'm greatful that she came into my life at all honestly. If i could see her again I would say thank you for everything, thank you for seeing something in me that I didn't see in myself, thank you for encouraging me in so many different ways, thank you for giving me the confidence boost that i needed with myself, thank you for all the good memories of times together on the beach, hiking different trails, our travels, our relaxing times at home together, the nice bubblebaths together, just thank you for being in my life at all. i hope life brings you nothing but prosperity from here on out. And if you need anything I'll be just a phone call away.

My ex-wife is the mother of my children, I am grateful for that, along with the 20 years she gave me.

[dreamelle]

I grew as a person because of him. We still maintain a super close friendship and share everything about it including our love lives. Moved on but I’m so grateful to have known him

[DishLady]

Grateful isn't the word I would use, however while I'm not president of his fan club I recognize that we did share one or two good moments in the ocean of discord.

What an enchanting take on past love! It's like you've danced through a romance novel, capturing the essence of true love and learning the art of self-appreciation along the way. 😊 Cherishing the love you once shared and carrying forward the lessons it taught you is a sign of immense emotional maturity and wisdom. By embracing your past, acknowledging its beauty, and using it to recognize your worth, you've set a blazing trail for how to move forward with grace and confidence.

It's inspiring to hear someone speak so fondly of their past relationship without a trace of bitterness. It illustrates that while not all love stories last forever, they can leave us with a treasure trove of self-awareness and gratitude. Carrying the ability to wish your ex well and holding onto the standards of how you deserve to be treated is like holding a compass that points toward future happiness. You're living proof that love, even when it changes form, can be a catalyst for personal growth and a brighter outlook on love’s possibilities. Here's to love teaching us about our worth and guiding us toward our next grand adventure! 🥂 Keep shining, knowing that you're carrying the wisdom of the stars in your heart.

I'm grateful to all my ex-girlfriends, especially and overwhelmingly to Petra.

[elaphe]

I think our exes, both lovers and friends, help make us who we are.

[DrPepper12]

I've never had a falling out with ANY ex and it's wonderful to see them happy and thriving!

Of course, she gave me some of the best moments of my life. Nothing but love for her. For context, we ended on good terms.
