I spent years regretting splitting up with an ex. we’d been together for 5 years and were engaged. I finished it because I really fancied another girl and let my desires get the better of me. I didn’t want to go behind my fiancees back so I left her and shacked up with this new piece. So, my new piece turned out to be a complete **** and by the time I realised this and dumped her there was now way I could work things out with my ex-fiancee.
It took years of guilt and self-loathing before it dawned on me that I wouldn’t have left her in the first place if staying with her was the right thing to do. Now I’m very happily married with two brilliant kids and it turns out twatfink did me a favour by coming along and stopping me marrying someone who I really shouldn’t have married.
To summarise, she’s your ex for a reason, you’re feeling a bit lonely, stop bl88dy thinking about her, crack one off and go for a ride 😀
