Yesterday my ex wrote in an email to me that he has regrets and is not happy in his current situation. He purchased a home with a woman he met on one of the dating sites and only now realizes she is not for him. He will have a very difficult time getting out of his situation for many reasons. He regrets not talking to me more and helping me to understand his feelings.

I suppose I felt a little bit sorry for him, but to be completely honest in some sick way it made me feel good. Like I WAS worth something to him after all and he just threw me away to pursue "real" or "passionate" love. The kind of love he was after doesn't exist in the long run. Real love endures through all the good times and bad. It may not be exciting and new everyday and you may have to work on it to make it "wow", but it's the best kind of love in the world!

He has learned a valuable life's lesson, as have I. It has come full circle.

I have moved on and he won't have my love anymore. When he told me this I realized that I was deserving of love and that maybe there is nothing seriously wrong with me.

What a gift this is to my broken ego!

I hope that everyone is having a good weekend!
