Kissed my ex.. about to go travelling but still love him so much. Help me!
I can't really believe I'm even still posting here about this situation but I just can't get my head straight and feel so confused and lost right now.
I broke up with my ex last August.. so around the 9 month mark now. I feel that over the past few months I've been moving on quite well and have tried to maintain as little contact as possible, though we've still kept in touch and I would hear from him every couple of weeks or so. But I have tried to get out there and make plans and move my life on. So I decided to join some friends who are currently travelling and I'm leaving in a couple of months time. I just met with my ex at the weekend with the intention of getting some 'closure' on us, and just to say a goodbye I guess. I assumed it would be find because I really had been feeling fine about the breakup recently.
But when we were together it was just so easy and so natural, and it was literally like we hadn't been apart at all. All the feelings rushed back again and I felt happy..... truly happy in his presence. I hate this because of course, I'm leaving. He told me that he has been trying to get his head together about us and decide what he really wants, and he more or less said that if I wasn't going away perhaps we would get back together. I know he could only be saying this is test the water or keep me attached.. I really don't know.. but he seemed genuinely distraught that I'm leaving and cried to me and everything. I ended up kissing him.. I don't know why as all it did is remind me how much I truly love him. I'm not going to change my plans but I still love him so so much and just feel so confused about everything. He has said that he is not going to be looking for anyone else in the time I'm gone, but I don't want to rely on that or come back hoping he will want me when he really may not. I know I should be so excited about my plans but since seeing him I feel like such a huge part of me is still tied to him. I can't explain how it is when we're together but it just feels... right. I know I'm sounding really waffled but I would love for some of you to give me some words of wisdom on this situation. Thank you
