    Hi guys, so I’m struggling at the moment with the criticism that I’m getting from people for wanting my ex back.
    I feel like they make me even me depressed about the whole situation and plant bad seeds in my head.
    I’m honestly starting to think that ex’s are ex’s for a reason because of all the negative talk by my family and friends.
    How does everyone else deal with this?
    I try not to talk about my situation snymore because I’m sick of all the judgement but it sucks because I’d like to be able seek comfort from my family and friends.
    My sister recently told me that I’m just some over obsessed ex and everyone keeps telling me that getting back with an ex is toxic etc.
    For those that don’t know my situation you can read my previous threads.
    But my ex still loves me and wants to marry me but its all complicated.
    Just wanted to know how everyone else deals with the negativity.
    It hurts that my family and closest friends are judging me when they’re all gotten back with ex’s in the past.

    Well i’m going through the same process. I’ve learned to stop annoying other People about the whole Thing. Concentrate on yourself as hard as that sounds. If others Keep Hearing about it they just get fed up listening to it. As much as you want to talk to Family and friends about it they probably miss talking to you about being you. Bite your tongue and talk about other things and you will find that it helps and it will build your confidence. They will be there if something Major happens but nobody wants to listen to Problems evey time they talk with someone.
    And if things work out then it may come as more of a surprise to them and they will be happier for you.
    Don’t know if that helps.

    @patrick d that helps heaps! It’s hard not to talk about it, sometimes I just like to get everything off my chest sometimes, as I’m sure you would too.
    You’re right though, I need to start focusing in myself and being the ‘old me’. Talk about my interests and all that.
    Thanks for the reply!
