Well here’s a blast from the past being resurrected!
This post was me, just over three years ago. Things got worse a couple of weeks after I posted my original thread, another argument when the toxic friend got involved again, and that was it. No contact either way from early August 2019… we both just got on with our own lives.
Fast forward to April 2022, and an unexpected meeting between mutual friends which lead us to see and speak to each other for the first time in nearly three years. By the end of the day, when we left each other, he hugged me and told me he missed me. Within 24 hours, all the old emotions and feelings for each other came back for both of us.
We talked, a lot, over the following days and weeks. He apologised a lot for the way he handled everything before, for us splitting, for him leaving. The toxic friend was no longer a friend, and hadn’t been for nearly a year. I apologised for my parts in it all too. We both wanted to give us a proper chance. So we did.
We’ve now been back together for around 6 months, and he moved in with me a few weeks ago. We’re both the happiest we’ve ever been.
I’d sometimes dreamt over the last few years about us getting back together, never in a million years did I think it would actually happen though.
All I will say to anyone is don’t ever give up hope. I honestly thought we were dead in the water, despite wanting nothing more than for us to be together. Time truly is a great healer, yes it’s taken a couple of years, but it’s been worth the wait.
