So this has been bothering me for a little under a year now. Thoughts and feelings from a relationship that happened over 10 years ago. I’m currently in a long-term relationship, which I think is successful. But is it normal for something from the past to just sneak up on you like that? I mean I haven’t spoken to or seen this person in a very long time. The 3rd and last attempt at a relationship with this person was unsuccessful, they literally were no call no show (he was in the military at that point). I didn’t hear from him til 6 months after that final attempt. I dealt with depression over that person years prior to that final attempt. Could it be unfinished business or because i’m about to turn 30? or is it my sub conscience saying i’m not ready for the next step in my current relationship?
Is it normal for feelings from a past relationship to resurface over a decade later?
