First Love

I've recenlty got on Facebook and looked up my first love. We dated for 3 years in the early 90s well i became a drunk by age cuz of my mom tricking me out. But the point is i didnt tell anyone. So i hid behind alchol aand drugs and in a blackout i had sex with his guiartist. And he sure reminds me about it all the time. Sometimes hes real kewl others pure asshole. I know its probaly not a good thing to talk to him on Facebook but i just cant defriend him. Any Advice?

I know you really, really don't want to but I think defriending him is the best thing for you. Even though he may be a nice guy sometimes, if he is going to flip over to pure asshole, you don't need that. It could easily trigger darkness to take hold of your thoughts.

Sometimes there are people that you just should stay in touch with. Facebook can sometimes be a great too to find and keep up with friends but when you stay in touch with the wrong people, in can be poisonous of our health and relationships.

I think you should let this relationship go. It is part of a dysfunctional time in your life. You need a fresh start and new memories without being haunted by the shadows of the past. The fact that he can be an asshole towards you sometimes shows a lack of respect. You deserve respect regardless of any mistakes you have made in the past. I have regrets from the past, but now I have moved on. My new husband only knows the medicated version of me. My ex never let go of what happened during my manias even though I later got them well under control. A fresh start with new, better memories is exactly what I needed.
