Like I said my ex was my only friend for a good three years and then we dated for one. My new bf I’ve only known a few months and he understands what’s going on in my life that I would want to talk to someone who knew me before the current situation. It’s not obsessing if there’s something going on that you want a former friend there for you for, when the reason you stopped talking was due to the new relationship.
We broke up on good terms but just because I moved away for college, he said to reach out if I ever needed anything and we’ve talked since. I just want a friend who knows my family to talk to about the current situation and he’s the only person in my life ever that’s met my family.
