Her Husband Cannot Get Over The Death Of His Ex-Girlfriend, And She Even Found Texts In Which He Admitted Regretting Not Getting Back Together With His Ex
This 29-year-old woman’s love story with her husband, who is also now 29, started all the way back when she was just 16-years-old. Her husband was 16 at the time, too, and a friend since they were 14.
But, his romantic history was slightly complicated. Before their romance blossomed, he had been seriously involved with another girl, a relationship he described as his first real love.
Over time, he would occasionally mention this ex-girlfriend, but it was something she shrugged off, acknowledging that first loves often leave a lasting impression.
“Things didn’t work out for reasons only he knows, but he would talk about his ex from time to time, and I didn’t really care,” she recalled.
“In my head, I always knew he would have some sort of feeling towards her since she was his first love.”
Fast forward to 2019, a decade later, and a jarring incident shook their world. Just as they were about to settle into their new home, they received the tragic news of his ex-girlfriend’s passing due to domestic violence.
The reaction from her husband was clear; he was deeply upset. It was like a shell of the man she knew.
She did her best to support him. During a lunch break one day, she even reassured him that it was okay to express his grief, to let the tears flow. And flow they did.
Then, she went as far as telling him he could attend the ex-girlfriend’s funeral, assuring him that she would accompany him if he wanted her to, despite her having no personal connection with the deceased.

“I told him I would go only if he wanted me to because, in reality, I had no reason to be there since I never had a relationship with his ex,” she said.
Still, they attended the funeral together. Once it was over, she thought that would be the end of it, too.
However, the aftermath proved to be more challenging than expected. Her husband seemed to mourn with a depth and intensity that hinted at a lingering love. It was a concerning sight, especially given their marriage and shared child.
“Keep in mind he hadn’t spoken a word to his ex or seen her in 10 years,” she added. “It got to a point where I was over it. And I started to get a little angry with him.”
Her patience wore thin after months of enduring his grief. Then, the situation took a serious turn when, half a year later, she discovered messages between her husband and his ex’s sister.
Within the texts, her husband had been reminiscing about his past relationship. He also admitted to regretting not getting back together with his ex since, according to him, “their love was still there.”
Understandably, she saw this as a sign of regret over their own relationship.
Still, she’s now been left wondering whether she is reading too much into the situation.
How would you feel if you discovered texts like that on your spouse’s phone? Do you think he really regrets their marriage, or might he be dealing with some complicated grief? Is she reading too much into this or not?
