Reply To: Can’t forget my ex – even though I know we need to be apart

It’s completely understandable to have doubts about your decision to walk away from the relationship initially, especially when your ex has been reaching out to you and expressing remorse for his actions. However, it’s important to remind yourself of the reasons why you made that decision in the first place.

You mentioned that you found out about his mistreatment of his ex-girlfriend, including cheating and emotional abuse, and that you didn’t think you could be with someone who treated another person that way. These are valid concerns and it’s important to prioritize your own values and boundaries in any relationship.

It’s also worth considering the fact that your ex is still in a relationship with the same person he mistreated before. This suggests that he may not have fully addressed or resolved the issues that led to his past behavior, and it’s possible that you could experience similar mistreatment if you were to pursue a relationship with him again.
