There is no benefit to calling him. It is still hard not to. I know my dream isn't true. It's still difficult not to call him. It was a painful dream.

Yeah. That sucks. Try and view the ex in the dream as a symbol. Even though it was a bad relationship, the love was real. It is the love you shared that is dying, not the person. Calling him would be a way to stave off that death a little longer. But the love still has a fatal illness and will die. But consider that for both of you, by letting that love die, you and him are both on the transplant list, waiting for a new love. The best you could hope for by calling would be to keep a comatose love alive, on a respirator, a vegetable love.

Not to be confused with a love of vegetables, with can be healthy or kinky, depending.

This man is wise...especially about vegetables.

I guess temporary happiness happened. He told me the worst day of his life was me leaving him and that he'd love me forever and he will never get over me. We cried together. It's been 3 years (the day I left him) since we spoke. He wants to come see me. We are great at dating. We are the most compatible people ever at dating. But as much as I wish I could make things work, they won't. So I know it is only temporary. How happy I am right now thinking of talking to him? Reality is - having him in my head only keeps me from healthier options. I knew that would happen before I called him. But I love him and I always will. And I wish I could change that.

Why won't it work with him? If you two are so compatible why was he bad for you?

His problems are bigger than how we feel about each other. He would drag me down.

I've gotten back together with ex-girlfriends before, nothing too serious, and had a great time with it. Enjoy it for what it is. Spending some time together with someone you know, like and have a lot of fun with. And if he already knows what bugs you about him, he might try and reinvent himself to some extent so as to not to piss you off. It can be a great situation...at least until one of you starts taking it too seriously.
