A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I'm in a long term relationship and very happy in it, but thoughts of my ex have plagued me for years.

I'm engaged and living with a man I love very much. We've been together a long time and Im very happy with my life in general, but I cannot get an ex out of my head. I had the opportunity to get back together with this guy before meeting my current partner but I didn't want to and don't regret my decision for a moment. I haven't even seen the guy for over 3 years yet every now and again there will be a commercial on the tv or a sign outside a shop window or some other silly little thing that will make me think of him. I really want to stop thinking about him, I dont want him and I don't regret not being with him so why do I think of him so often?

A female reader, anonymous, writes (1 June 2015):

I'd say this is normal. You'll always have a soft spot for this man, as you were once seriously involved. There'll always be little reminders that'll trigger a memory etc.

I wouldn't worry at all. I think you're probably panicking when something reminds you of him & that's made you think about him more & worry about what it could mean.

I would just accept that he was a big part of your life, that you'll probably always think of him on occasion & don't be hard on yourself when it does happen.. just let it go & don't worry bout it.

Hope this is helpful :)
