She is still in touch with her ex to this day, and they will occasionally send one another text messages about nothing in particular. She does not believe that she’s still in love with her ex, but she does have some lingering feelings of remorse, guilt, and anxiety over their relationship.
When her ex dumped her, that marked the first time that she had gotten dumped, and she felt that it was so “one-sided.”
Post-breakup, she was terrified of being abandoned, and she was concerned there was something seriously wrong with her to have caused her ex to dump her.
But her fiancé came into her life, and he showed her unconditional love while giving her the security she needed.
“And now I am the one running away after promising marriage,” she said. “I was to marry my fiancé in October this year, but I feel like I am being unfaithful to him by having some man pop up into my dreams every month or so. I now am starting to resent my ex as well as my fiancé. I keep subconsciously nitpicking at his flaws in my mind to justify why I am unhappy (I guess), and I wish my ex would get run over by a truck or something.”
“This is not the type of person I am. I don’t understand why I have such strong feelings of regret, anxiety, rage, and sadness inside me, and I don’t know how to let it out.”
So, she ultimately asked her fiancé for a break, but she’s thinking she should end things because she knows she is not over her ex, which is what her fiancé deserves.
Do you think taking a break is best or do you think she should break up with her fiancé for good?
