Two and a half years ago my spouse and I got divorced, he initiated it. We lived together happily for three years, I loved my husband very much, so letting him go was extremely painful for me. Everything was fine until I went to my mother’s house in the countryside for a week. When I returned, I found out that my spouse had another woman with whom he wanted to build a relationship. At one point my whole world fell apart: the man I loved packed his things and left.
After that day we did not see each other for two and a half years, we were even separated. During that time I managed both to lose myself (severe weight loss due to stress, depression, facial skin problems, job loss) and to revive myself again (psychologist, beautician, gym training, etc.). When I got my soul and body in order, I started looking for a new job.
Taking care of myself was not in vain: now I have an athletic body, clean shiny skin, long silky hair. I got a job as an administrator at a gym, which I started going to a year and a half ago. My life got better, but I never met the man of my dreams. Yes, I had a few affairs, but my ex-husband was firmly lodged in my head.
A week ago, I accidentally met him on the street, which was very surprising, because he lived in another city. As it turned out, the ex had come to a work conference. I was glad to see him, but I was hurt by the memories. My ex-spouse, in turn, was also happy to see me. He showered me with compliments and invited me to dinner together.
We met. The man, who still cared about me, said a lot of flattering words about me. He really liked the way I looked now. I couldn’t believe that I was sitting next to him and listening to the compliments. At the end of the evening, my ex-spouse suggested we meet again in two weeks when he comes to the second conference.
I find myself perplexed and excited. What does the attention from the ex mean? Does he really want to reunite with me? I couldn’t stand it and told my best friend about everything, who immediately began to talk me out of the idea of rekindling the relationship. She thinks that my ex-husband is a dishonest and low man, that he will leave me again when he finds another girlfriend.
I don’t want to believe that. My friend has never loved anyone, so she is not able to understand my feelings, and in general – treats men with distrust. I know my ex-husband well, he is a good man. He probably regrets and understands that he still loves me.
