Learn to be alone and get to know yourself, instead of finding new person to vent to right away. I'm not your therapist. I took few years off dating to deal with my shit. Now I'm healthy and I don't bring my unresolved issues from the past into new relation. Ffs. Wtf is wrong with dating these days.
I talked with my friend about it and she said she also have ex she still have feelings for, although she doesn't talk with him anymore. Then I reminded myself that my mother had ex that she was always comparing my father to. Is it norm for woman to go into new relationships while still dreaming about someone from their past and having more or less contact with that person?? I think I deserve to be loved without living in someone's shadow.
