downgrading, huh?
lol



it probably means you both don't have to be worried anymore about the bullshit with other peeps trying to be magnetically drawn to your SO's sex appeal.

they are "normal" peeps now.

lol@the peeps word. 😆



so, you both can enjoy life as just normal people without hassle.

No, seems more like we're just connected forever, we can't be together cause it's like high voltage, but we can be together indirectly...

What about personality? Does the new girl make you laugh more? Does she make you feel more secure? Is she smarter?

If not, you're going in the wrong direction. If you don't upgrade you will never stop thinking about your ex and what could have been.


Thats precisely my point, we can't and won't move on.

Maybe it will come full circle and the two of you will end up together in the long run.

I sometimes get the feeling that is what will happen with my current ex.

How long have you guys been broken up? I would be heart broken if I knew a boyfriend choose me because I remind him of his ex but maybe that is my romantic ego kicking in because I was to add something new to people's lives when I date. Maybe it is the Sag Venus teacher thing. Are you sure it's just not what your type is or did you conciously say damn she reminds me of her she would be a good fit. ?

Yeah exactly, it's too high voltage, we can't be together but maybe when we're more mature...it's nice to think there's one person for us isnt there..and when you know they feel the same way.

It's a double edge sword. In one way, it's comforting to know that I have found my "one" but I also get sad sometimes because we aren't together. I long for what we used to be.

It might be that you both have a particular type of look that you find attractive and continue to date. Do all your exes have the same color hair? Do all hers do too? That's my thing. I like dark hair more than blonde. What's your favorite feature? Do you notice any patterns?
No, l didnt really have a type, l loved all women ?. It's just that l created a strong emotional connection.

Well she'll never know this...so she can't be hurt. Also, it was purely accidental, my emotional connection with my ex was so strong, it was really out of the ordinary, and so it makes us do things without us even knowing. 17 years since we broke up ?

Im sure he feels the same way... And on a long enough timeline, anything can happen.
