I keep praying and hoping we will get back together, now he lives in our state were we grew up because he was in the military but nows he out so hes living in same state as me and its soo hard cause I want to see him but to scared to call him I did once and he informed me is seeing someone else my heart sank.. cause ever since we broke up I was telling him I want him back so he knew that. im just so hurt and im afraid he will marry this girl cause hes the long realtionship kinda guy.

Huni know that old saying if you love some one set them free and if its true love they`ll return to you, well sometimes it doesn’t work trust me as I was in your situation and had the same ideas. Do I still think of her yes but I came 2 relise that what we had was in the past and our lives have taken different paths now so I guess what im trying to say is this, mayb what happened was fate it has a funny of stopping us from making a massive mistake..

I think you never really got closure from the relationship, which is why you keep hanging on to the thought that he might come back some day, instead of you moving on.

I think you need to call him, and tell him how you feel, and ask how he is doing. Just because a relationship ends, doesn’t mean the friendship has to. You practically know each other inside out, and you will always be close to this person in a way. You can still keep in touch with him. If you take away sexual feelings you have towards a person, it is essentially a friendship.

Ask him about his life, and if he is still with his girlfriend, and his plans for the future. Be happy for him. If he is single, tell him how you’ve felt throughout these years, and that you need to know if there is still a chance with him. If he says there might be, then good for you, and try to sort things out with him. But if he says no, you have to listen hard and get him to explicitly say, “I’m sorry, but there is no chance of us being together in the future anymore. I have moved on, and you should too.”

I think those words will give you that closure you need. You need to stop being strung along by hope and wishful thinking, and take the situation as it is, and accept it. The truth hurts, but it’s better than dragging this pain for years and years on end. I hope you get the answer you need, so you can finally live your life.
