So... I just got off the phone with my ex, I'm not too sure why I called him. It's been a while since we had proper communication and I think I just wanted to know we can still talk to each other.
We were together two years and I thought everything was great, well except his anger issues, but I thought that's just the way he was and it would always turn out fine. Back in January, it was my birthday, we were getting ready to go out to dinner and all of a sudden he started crying and said "I can't do this anymore, it's not you, I just can't deal with it" From what I gathered he was probably suffering depression, which soon turned into alcholism, every day since he has drank until he passed out (I'm close with his friends, so I know these things) Since we split, he's still confided in me, even tonight, about things I know he wouldn't talk about with most people.
Recently he has started dating someone who I thought was my friend, and what hurts me the most is that I thought he didn't want a relationship. She's not a very attractive girl, whereas I get chatted up by strangers on a daily basis. And mentally we connected very well, we were an absolutely inseparable couple.. So I'm not sure why he's with her and not me?!
I'm also with someone else, early days though. And when I mentioned this tonight he sounded a bit "put out" by it. I'm not happy with my new man, and am still struggling with a bit of an eating disorder, while he's still struggling with his drinking. I hear he's not happy with his new girl because he's friends say he's still very much into me, and that is why they fight a lot.
Since we broke up we've spoken about still loving each other, and we've slept together twice (once just before he got with my friend), he's still always been there when I've needed him, and came to see me straight away if ever I've asked him to. We always spoke about getting married and having a life together, and it always feels like there's a lot left unsaid between us..
I'm just unsure of what to do...
