I later realised they still had a very close relationship: they were in regular contact, he took calls from his ex when his ex was struggling, they were involved in academic work together, he helped him with emails, and there were still personal traces of him around.
SIORRY, it is going to be a little long rant. My ex and I were together for 5 years, from our school days. We had a genuine relationship and eventually had a mutual breakup. He did try reconciling a few times afterwards, but I had moved on.s it weird to feel hurt over this ?
