Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

You're probably missing the idea of her, rather than her explicitly. She was likely the closest thing you had to raising a family maybe or having someone long term to snuggle up to at night.
Focus on the negatives, you broke up for a reason and whatever source of comfort she was for you didnt outweigh the negatives of her other aspects. If she could be mean, it's important to remember that.
I too get lost in the past comforts, and sometimes even play out a fantasy parallel to my current life where I never broke up with my ex and we'd have a kid by now.
These are dark and dangerous waters to sail through, fellow traveller. Stay safe out there
