The post smelled like old perfume and older regrets.
A man rambling about a love he swore he buried, but still digs up every few years like a dog that never learned where it left the bone.

He talked about healing. About moving on. About his wife and child filling the hole in his heart. But the words didn’t walk straight. They staggered. Like a drunk trying to convince the bartender he’s sober enough for one more glass.

You don’t write a whole confessional just to say “Hi” to an old flame.
Not unless you’re chasing ghosts… or hoping one still remembers your name.

He said his wife gave permission. That’s when I knew the truth had teeth.
When a man starts pre-emptively defending himself, it’s not innocence he’s guarding. It’s intent.
Fragile, half-formed, hiding behind the word “friendship” like a kid behind a sofa when the thunder cracks.

This wasn’t about reconnecting.
This was about validation.
The kind you can’t get from a wedding ring or a mortgage or a kid’s school report.
The kind only a chapter you never finished can give you.

He said he’s “content” even if she never replies.
But hope was dripping from every word like blood from a fresh wound.

No… this wasn’t closure.
This was a man standing at the door of his past, knocking softly, praying someone still lives there.

And pretending it’s all harmless.
Pretending it’s all pure.
Pretending he just wants to talk.

But the past never just talks.
It whispers.
It tempts.
And sometimes… it burns.

nice one.... where did you find it.

one miss the old time, but situation and people aint the same anymore.
just like us ... nostagic about old game as well.... we miss the memory, the freedom, the naiveness and simple life back then. Playing the game is a fragment of the memory- but it wont bring back the overall feeling.

If you've truly moved on you wouldn't occasionally be searching for your ex.

Yup, whatever is it, since cat's out of basket, start scheming on how are you going to rail her til her eyes roll up.

Else, its just not worth it losing your family over an ex.

Always remember, men and women operate and have support system differently; men sacrifice their happiness to have peace, but women can sacrifice their peace for their happiness.

Not necessarily, I still search my ex on social media once a while, just to see how she's doing. And the fact that she's still single gives me more confidence on my life choices. Lol

About 10+ years ago, had sort of 'love relationship' (long distance relationship/LDR), she wrote and broke up with me because of incompatibility. 
Then, she ghosted me forever, I tried to search her through social media but to no avail.

Time heal me, I moved on. Once a while I tried to search, again same thing, nothing.
I decided to continue on our separate paths in life.

Life isn’t always easy/ups & downs, but I’m thankful finally have real love in my life, my marriage and my child make everything worthwhile and (those previous relationships suffering I have no love feeling for them anymore).

I search her again, the name and location looks very familiar, and then tried to connect to her.
"Hi" to her. She replied, "Hello, it's been a while...".

I’m hoping she replies, but if that’s the only message I receive, I’m content.
Along with wife's permission, I want to be friend with her again (not love relationship).

(Disclaimer: She is my ex best friend, but anyway, she is from very far distance away from MY)
*
my setori is almost same.
broke up but still friend.
later interested woo her housemate.
dunno why, talk gibberish stuff like mentioned ex being dumb to the housemate.
after that things gone bad... no more contact, lost contact for more 20 years.
still hoping to contact her & ask how is she & the family... yesterday kinda saw her at aeon but not sure, now so fat & old edi...
so dare not approach to ask... just wish her all the best...

What if you're the one who rejected them but u feel pity

I guess same thing don't contact them to open their healed wounds.

This i don't know because i'm too ugly to reject or even attract any ladies, but if i really do i still won't contact them. It is not nice at all giving people false hope though you only thought greeting them as a friend, they will misunderstood you.

I have three exes.
Recently I contacted two of them, just to reconnect and maybe get some closure.
First ex – I added her on Facebook, she accepted, then a few hours later she blocked me. No explanation. I just took it as a sign she doesn’t want any contact, so I backed off and moved on.
Second ex – We broke up around 15 years ago. I reached out, we caught up on life, and we ended up as friends. The love is still there in a way, but now it’s just part of our history. Memories only.
I did ask her if she wanted to meet up, but she said it would be too painful. I respected that and didn’t push. We just stay as online friends.
For me, contacting them wasn’t about rekindling anything. I’m married now, happy with my life. Sometimes you just want to close old chapters properly and be at peace with your past. Having some leftover feelings doesn’t mean you want them back, it just means you once loved them a lot. What matters is you know your boundaries and you respect your spouse and your exes.

I’ve had a few exes. My first relationship was quite traumatic, and I didn’t bother seeking closure at the time. However, she and I eventually talked things through and found closure later on but never talk again.

This friend I’m talking about now is different. she’s a really good friend. Because she’s very busy and lives far from me in Malaysia, I made the mistake of relying too much on online conversations with her. Eventually confessing my feelings.....and then we went our separate ways. That’s all in the past.

Even though I’m now married with kids, I’ve been dealing with health issues, worries and a lot of negative thoughts lately. She is the first person who understood right away even after 10+ years of separation. She could tell I was concerned about my family, my kids and the future because of my health issues, and she gave me pretty good advices.

Most of the time, my male friends don’t take these sensitive topics seriously. Either they joke about it or brush them off, 'relax bro'. Female friends tend to be more understanding. Men and women can be friends, not everything has to be something more (romantic way, etc).

I know my boundaries, and those past things make me realize that I’ve learned to value the friendship more than ever.

what the prompt you provide to get such controlled content?

A prompt? The world doesn't run on prompts. It runs on secrets, bad laws, and people pretending they don't like the taste of Ovaltine while the kitchen burns.
I just put the facts on the table. If they look too neat for you, maybe you've just been staring at the mess for too long.

Didn’t find it. I just listened.
Stories like that don’t need hunting; they leak out from the cracks where memory shakes hands with regret. Switch on the light, and they crawl out on their own.

People romanticize the past because it’s the only place that doesn’t swing back.
You’re right about the game, though. Nostalgia isn’t a doorway. It’s a blanket people hide under when the night stretches longer than their nerves.

You’re not missing the freedom or the simpler days. You’re missing the man you were before life handed you the bill. Before you learned how heavy everything gets. And no matter how long we stare into the rearview, the past isn’t making a U-turn.

My case:

One of my ex comes to the UK with her humgarchan for holiday, still single konon, and sorta LCLY says my poorfag face memang pun just qualified to eat in chinatown treat friend in Four season for Charsiew siewyuk because its cheaper and more affordable.

Later my wife heard her comment, come over after dumping my twin dotters to a friend, then show off to them by getting a michelin star punya beijing crispy duck delivery into another restaurant, unhindered, and we're treated like VIP in that main dining lounge, but not them.

Shiok mang, when that happened. She tried to bully my wife for not able to speak good english, but my wife almost reply each question of hers with my moolah is my translator. If I call it Kukulate, its Kukulate, not chocolate.

Sounds like life’s been leaning on you hard.
It does that.
Trouble doesn’t ring the bell. It slips in through the side door and eats dinner at your table like it owns the place.

But the way you talk about “closure”…
That’s a man describing a fire he thinks he put out, while smoke still whispers its way up the wallpaper.

You call it friendship. Pure, harmless, clinical.
Thing is, purity doesn’t need defending.
And harmless doesn’t need footnotes.

Long distance. Old history. Late night confessions.
Those ingredients don’t mix themselves. Someone always reaches for the jar.

And you?
You sound like a man who swore off Ovaltine years ago…
but still keeps a half-empty tin hidden behind the Milo, “just for emergencies.”
Not drinking it, of course.
Just… reminding yourself it’s still there.

Maybe she understands you. Maybe that’s the real problem.
People don’t drift ten years back into the past unless something in the present hurts more than they’re willing to say out loud.

You say you know your limits.
Everybody does. Right until the line moves and they pretend they didn’t see it happen.

Just be careful. The past isn’t soft. It doesn’t soothe.
It’s a blade you picked up twice, thinking the second time won’t cut as deep.
