It’s completely normal to reminisce on how your life used to be. Especially when it comes to the people we knew and were back then.
While most of us would like to forget about our exes, they often pop up at the most inconvenient times in our life.
I mean, imagine being a week away from your wedding date and running into an ex. It doesn’t seem like the ideal way to start the party, especially when they bring up old feelings.
This 27-year-old has just experienced this exact scenario.
She broke up with her ex six years when she was 21, and he was 20 due to a strain on their relationship from her parents.
Her boyfriend had just totaled his car and accepted an unpaid internship, and while they were both broke, her parents were less than supportive.
While they were both in college trying to make it work, her parents threatened to stop helping her pay for her degree if she decided to keep seeing him.
After realizing the relationship wouldn’t last with the pressure of her parents, they broke up, and she moved home and eventually met her fiancé.
Since the relationship ended well, they decided to stay friends and keep in touch.

Fast forward a few years, and her ex-boyfriend currently has a job at one of the largest known luxury car manufacturers and owns his own home. Naturally, her parents were easily amused at the situation.
Thinking about the past, she decided to meet him out.
“I met him for a drink one night, he said a role was opening where he worked and I had been trying to get into that company for years.”
When talking about this current role, she realized she was still attracted to him and felt guilty for being around him.
At this moment, she also realized that she told her fiancé she was meeting a friend but did not specify who she was actually seeing. Thinking about this, she started to examine the truth.
Reminiscing, she started to think about their personal life and how amazing it really was.
With all of this on her mind, is it worth getting married in a week?
Later that night, emotions began to escalate as her ex started texting her things she would have wanted to hear years ago.
He told her that she has always been a good friend to him and how “if we met now, as the ppl we wanted to be and not who we were as kids we would’ve worked out.”
She then starts to question her feelings. After all, this guy was her first love.
Instead of cutting the conversation off, she decided to entertain his emotions—the conversation then turns, and they start to discuss their past intimate experiences.
She loves her fiancé and thinks he’s one of the most amazing people she has ever met, but looking at her situation, should she continue on with the wedding?
