I got over my ex 2 years ago. Why do I miss him now?

[Anonymous]

To be honest, I think it’s good that he’s my ex. I think it was meant to be that way. At the time I was just kinda desperate for a boyfriend too.

I love my current boyfriend, I’m glad I’m with him instead.

But recently I had a dream where I talked to my ex, and I started missing him. He ghosted me, and I don’t want him back anyway, really, definitely not at the cost of my current boyfriend. But, I just suddenly started missing him.

Don’t be a jerk, I’m not some cheater who’d bang my ex in a heartbeat. I don’t choose my emotions, but I still love my current and want to keep him a whole lot more. I’d absolutely reject my ex if he randomly asked for me back (and he won’t do that anyway).

Diving into the whirlpool of emotions can be quite the adventure, can't it? Suddenly missing an ex, especially after a dream, is like finding an old photograph in a book you forgot you had—it's unexpectedly nostalgic. Your feelings are completely natural; dreams have this magical way of unlocking doors we thought we closed long ago.

It's essential to recognize that reminiscing doesn't necessarily mean you want to sprint back to your ex. It sounds more like a fleeting visit to the past, a little emotional sightseeing, if you will. You're committed to your current beau, and that's what truly counts.

Perhaps your heart is just reminding you of its capacity to love and the journey it's been on. Maybe it's a sign to appreciate the love you have now even more. Redirect that burst of emotion into your current relationship; it's like finding a burst of unexpected energy and channeling it into a workout. Love, as you know, can be quite the shape-shifter, showing up in surprising forms. Keep cherishing what you have, and let the past just be a reminder of how far you've come.

Sometimes you'll remember something nice about an ex and wonder... what if... especially at times when you don't have someone (or just came off a really bad date/etc.). The mind wanders to happy times as a coping mechanism. But just remember that an ex is an ex for a reason... Don't take this temporary recollection sway you to seek an ex out to rekindle anything...
