"A bit of a rant really. I was married to a guy I loved very much. He was the most important thing in my world, and everything about my daily routine involved him at the center. He did everything for me. He was a good husband. There came a point where I neglected him for three months or so. He wanted to spend time together, and I was always doing other things. That’s all he wanted, was some time. He didn’t ask for anything else. At the time I just couldn't give him that time as I was grieving the loss of a close family member. Which he of course knew. By the end of that three months, he was speaking to another woman, decided he wanted to be with her instead, and left me before I even realized he was unhappy. We had a strong marriage to that point, one I thought would never end. Complete strangers commented on how happy we were together. So what did I do? I lived over a year thinking he would walk back through the door anyday telling my what a mistake he had made. Not a day went by that I don’t wish he’d have listened to me when I said I loved him and wanted to make it right. He never gave me the chance, because by the time I knew there was a problem, he’d fallen out of love with me. If he thinks he has you forever, if you think he has you forever, the reality is that that is not as certain as it seems, and lives can be changed forever in an instant. People like to think there’s always room to reconcile, but there can come a point where that’s never going to happen. Five years have passed and finally when I'm over him he moves back to town telling me he is going to win me over. That walking away from me was the biggest regret he had. I'm like seriously on 5 whole years the oky contact we had was when I was having my kids over for the odd weekend. He would always wait outside for the kids to come out. He would arrange to pick then up via my eldest. Now he want back in. Am I over reacting for telling him to fuc# off? Can someone really change and be like I'm still in love with you even though we haven't spoke in 5 years? My guess is not." You not over reacting one bit he made a choice of being a narcissist it's sounds like a manipulative relationship. No offense. | |||

No. Sorry for your loss(with your family member) you've also grieved the loos of your marriage too. Seen your worth, yes you would of taking him back. It's 5years later and he realised his mistake. Which is a good thing, looking at it now, if you'd taken him back could you have really forgiven him. You didn't give him some attention when you were going through such a painful time in your life. Was he all that you thought he was, three months isn't long with what you were going through. Look at it this way, he moved on would only contact you through your eldest and now he thinks he can win you over. Yous had a wonderful time and will always be grateful for the gorgeous kids he's given you. Just get on with being you and let him see what he ruined. Keep doing you and be fabulous. Remember this line from pretty woman, Big Mistake. Big. Huge. Hope this helps, just my opinion. | |||

I have friends who got divorced went separate ways , remarried and then got back together and married each other a second time. People fall in love very easy, it’s often not real. But real love is exactly that kind of thing, I’d say keep an open mind and date him again, you both might have learned a lot and it could be even better | |||

"Firstly, I’m sorry for your loss that took you to a deep dark place in your life. Personally I don’t think you’re over reacting, however I also don’t think anyone other than you can really say whether considering a reconciliation is a good or bad thing. If you are considering it though (and this thread suggests you are) then you need to do so with all of what’s happened in the forefront of your mind. Good luck whatever path you choose OP! L x" This is pretty much what I was going to say so I’ll just agree with this | |||

Firstly condolences to you on your loss and also thankyou for sharing you story, which takes courage sometimes. I don’t know you or your ex but based on what you’ve written and my limited experience and knowledge. I’d say at bare minimum a conversation is to be had. That way you can let him know exactly what the family loss meant and the reason you was so distant during that period. It will also give him an opportunity to explain himself to you. If your marriage was good up until that point & you have a family together I think it’s at least worth a conversation. With that being said, the fact it’s taken you that long to finally get over him maybe it’s best to leave things in the past where they were and you continue to work on you. Just my humble opinion and ultimately it’s upto you. I wish you all the best with whatever you decide to do. Keep on keeping on Happy Fabbing | |||

Umm it's a definition of of his behavior. Nice way to hijack her post. It's about her not your explanation of a term."Heres the definition Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. I hijacked nothing i already expressed my sorrow at this and supported her need to rant completely not arguing your point just don't like the overuse of words like this majority of the time aimed at men is all Xx | |||

 ...it seems like you know exactly what you want at this moment in your life (and it's not him) and it is your absolute right to reject him.
I'm not gonna make any assumptions on him as I know nothing of him or your relationship with him, other than what your described, and if he indeed said "I'm gonna win you back" after so many years passing, he sounds full of himself.
If I am to give an opinion on the story overall, I also believe that he was in his right to leave you ...I can understand the grief you were going through, but to be a boyfriend or husband and have my partner go through that but not wanting me there for them, to be constantly rejected and fighting for the relationship for over 3 months without any positive feedback, I would be heartbroken and devastated and depressed and I would question myself and my ability to be a good boyfriend/husband (I'm not saying I would react the same as him, but I do understand his choices). Than again this whole dynamic that you had initially with him (where you are someone's everything, and they are everything to you) is very alien to me and I could not be in a relationship like that.
You seem to be in a good place now and if I am to put myself in your situation I also wouldn't take any of my exes back (not even the ones that I maintained an amicable relationship with)... but it is a strange, annoying and aggravating feeling to have this happened to you.
Hope you feel better tomorrow | |||

Hi OP, I’m in a similar situation, I thought everything was going fine then she left me at the start of this year. I would have done anything for her, I offered to change jobs, move house, anything I could have thought of but none of it was good enough for her. Looking back I think the signs were there that she wasn’t happy for a while, but every time I asked her she said there was nothing wrong - I may be over thinking things too but who knows the real truth?! She left me for her boss pretty much straight away - she initially said there was no one else but the truth comes out in the end, and I think she was probably having an affair with him while we were still together. She’s done a few other things as well that have shown me that I was instantly replaceable which has done wonders for my self esteem! We have kids together too so we have to have regular contact, but she’s like your other half in that we never see each other, and half the time it’s her parents that drop them off. What’s helped me is I’ve realised that she’s lost someone who would have done anything for her, and I’ve lost someone who was probably a cheater, and something else I saw recently is if you let them back into your life you’ve already seen how it’ll end. I’m desperate to tell her to fuck off, and a few more bits that I shouldn’t but I’ve realised that there’s no point, that by letting her go I give up the power she holds over me. But, and this is a big but if she ever tried to come back into my life the way your ex is trying to with you after I’ve picked myself up (still a work in progress!) I’d tell her to fuck off so hard and in such a way that she’d have no doubt that I never want to see her again in this lifetime and that I think she is the worst thing, and the worst person that I have ever met in my life! Sorry this turned into a bit of an essay, it’s still quite raw with me! | |||

"Nah! He let you down when you needed him most he doesn’t get to demand you meet his needs now You were grieving 3 months is nothing in the grand scheme A good marriage is not defined by how it is in easy times but by how/If it survives tough ones He failed at the first real hurdle seemingly he cannot be trusted " | |||

Hi OP, Firstly, like others have said, sorry for your loss, even though 5 years have passed. The loss of a close family member, speaking from personal experience, takes a lot more than 5 years to get over. So, going only on what you have said, and of course there are 2 sides to the story. But, I'll keep this short, no don't give him another chance. You were grieving, and he couldn't deal with not being the centre of your attention, even with the kids you had...needs to get a grasp of reality. And, I would hazard a guess, that he was seeing said woman behind your back. If he couldn't even be bothered to arrange collecting your kids directly with you, that's cowardly and he is too embarrassed to see you face to face for how your relationship first ended. He bolted at the first sight of trouble, or when he wasn't getting your undivided attention 5 years ago, when you were grieving. He will probably do so again. I have only given my opinion, purely based on what you have shared, and if that is the case, what I'd do if I was in your situation. But, at the end of the day, tis your decision, as to what happens with him. | |||

"The very fact this is still itching your brain suggest you may need closure on all this. Telling him to jog on may be cathartic but would having a calm talk with him actually help more? " I've contacted him to talk to him. We are meeting up Monday afternoon to talk. | |||
"I would advise you to pay no heed to all the relationship experts on here and suggest you think for yourself. Only you know what you want. "Thank you | |||
"A bit of a rant really. I was married to a guy I loved very much. He was the most important thing in my world, and everything about my daily routine involved him at the center. He did everything for me. He was a good husband. There came a point where I neglected him for three months or so. He wanted to spend time together, and I was always doing other things. That’s all he wanted, was some time. He didn’t ask for anything else. At the time I just couldn't give him that time as I was grieving the loss of a close family member. Which he of course knew. By the end of that three months, he was speaking to another woman, decided he wanted to be with her instead, and left me before I even realized he was unhappy. We had a strong marriage to that point, one I thought would never end. Complete strangers commented on how happy we were together. So what did I do? I lived over a year thinking he would walk back through the door anyday telling my what a mistake he had made. Not a day went by that I don’t wish he’d have listened to me when I said I loved him and wanted to make it right. He never gave me the chance, because by the time I knew there was a problem, he’d fallen out of love with me. If he thinks he has you forever, if you think he has you forever, the reality is that that is not as certain as it seems, and lives can be changed forever in an instant. People like to think there’s always room to reconcile, but there can come a point where that’s never going to happen. Five years have passed and finally when I'm over him he moves back to town telling me he is going to win me over. That walking away from me was the biggest regret he had. I'm like seriously on 5 whole years the oky contact we had was when I was having my kids over for the odd weekend. He would always wait outside for the kids to come out. He would arrange to pick then up via my eldest. Now he want back in. Am I over reacting for telling him to fuc# off? Can someone really change and be like I'm still in love with you even though we haven't spoke in 5 years? My guess is not. You not over reacting one bit he made a choice of being a narcissist it's sounds like a manipulative relationship. No offense. " Thank you | |||
"I've contacted him to talk to him. We are meeting up Monday afternoon to talk." I think that’s a good decision, at least you can get some sort of clarification or closure. Stay true to you and what you want. I wish you all the best | |||

"Could you ever trust him to keep your heart safe again?" This is what you need. He left you at your lowest. You deserve time to think about this question. C | |||

"I don't have time to read other responses so forgive me if I'm just repeating what others say. I find it hard to judge people on their pursuit of happiness. We don't know how he was feeling and for how long. However. Do I think your ex made a mistake,yes. Do I think he was a bit quick to rush out the door, yes. Do I think he's shown himself to be a bad father by not being there for his kids all the time, yes. My dad did these things. He would leave and come back. And leave and come back. Your ex didn't say he loved you. He didn't say that he missed his best friend. He made a mistake and he regrets it. Nice. So he was more comfortable with you. You maybe did more things for him, or your routines were something that gave him something. He's not coming back for you. He's coming back because you are the best option for him. He's selfish and won't be there once a better option comes along for him. I think you were right to tell him to fuck off. If you must, let him prove himself. Let him be a parent. Let him show you that he's an adult. But you don't have to. Actions have consequences. Obviously my perspectives are skewed because of my father and your ex isn't my father. People make mistakes and peoole have regrets. But there are also consequences to actions." Thanks for the lengthy response. | |||
