So, let me tell the story, and then perhaps people can relate their experiences to their old loves.My first lover, a piscean, I thought he was my soulmate, I still think he is at some level, but it didn't work out. He didn't share my feelings, or at least, he wasn't ready for a relationship (apparently still isn't with anyone). We stayed friends for a couple years, I allowed myself to constantly long for him, even if I wasn't aware of it. Then I cut him out. But even when we're not communicating, he's still there, deep within, buried, in torpor, but not dead. He appears in my dreams usually when I start a new relationship, he often calls or emails when I'm getting serious with someone. Even when we are apart we are playing a water game between my scorpio moon and his pisceans sun. Perhaps its only a game I play with myself, but perhaps not. He sits deep in my psyche, as a symbol of rejection, many of my insecurities stem from that heartbreak, and after 6 years, I'm starting to think I may just never be beyond it, that it is an integral part of me. I saw him last June, and it was a somewhat difficult visit. I've pulled away again. I feel like I can't be in contact with him, that it protects my psyche, but being out of contact doesn't seem much different. He says that us being in contact makes the world a more beautiful place, which is very idyllic but I'm not sure I share those sentiments. Do any of you still talk to old lovers?

Yes, I do, one.But, I often hesitate, beacuse I feel like sometimes I am giving him the wrong message--even though I state over and over that I do not want a romantic relationship with him...I would be wise to take my own advice and acknowledge that people's actions often speak louder than their words. I set boundaries constantly where "we" are concerned and keep contact at a minimum, but take one day at a time. IP: Logged |

Br, I'm going through this right now... This one is also a Fish (when is it ever NOT with me? gah!), he's the one I was so heartbroken over last summer. I felt like I finally put it all behind me and I wasn't going to hear from him again and didn't want to and now he's emailing me. He called me twice, but I let them go to voicemail and don't return them... what for? I don't want to become unmeshed by him again. I feel like, what do you want? Isn't it enough already? You wanna try for a hat trick? Rip my heart out and sh*t on it a 3rd time? I'm usually a typical Aqua, I LOVE being friends with exes and remaining on good terms, but this one is different. I need to protect myself. I know any contact with him is playing with fire. quote: He sits deep in my psyche, as a symbol of rejection, many of my insecurities stem from that heartbreak, and after 6 years, I'm starting to think I may just never be beyond it, that it is an integral part of me.

Me too. I like to think I can be friends... it's a nice idea... but it doesn't work out that way...I get over my head if I have anything more than casual contact of the almost never variety..Its a protection thing... and of course for me, Ice can be eternal... I have lotsa Aqua friends who still have friendly relations with old lovers...I am in awe at this..mostly.
BR...

I do not have contact with my Aquarian ex. He hurt me so bad that when I do it brings a surge of humiliation, anguish, and fear. I prefer to focus all my attention on my lovely Virgo and have sworn not to let that mistake ruin our great relationship. But, yes, it does hurt. *hugs*IP: Logged |

Hi, BlueroamerI can really relate I am a Pisces sun who was involved with a scorpio moon to say the least I believe he is my soulmates. It may have something to do with the sun trine moon in water signs but yes I do communicate with him in the depths of my soul.I can actually feel his presence,for the bond is not broken. ------------------ Ascendent Capricorn Moon Virgo 8th house Sun Pisces 1st house Venus Pisces 2nd house Mercury Pisces 2nd house Jupiter Pisces 1st house Mars Sagittarius 11th Uranus Sagittarius 11th Saturn Sagittarius 10th Neptune Capricorn 12th PlutoConjunctMC Scorpio IP: Logged |

Strange. I just had an ex come into my life again--surprisingly and I am grappling with this same thing. Personally, I am just leaving it alone because our time has passed and I am now happily married...but he still seems stuck after all these years. Weird. Part of me thinks if he was in love with someone, I would be the last person he would be thinking about. So there is that to consider. IP: Logged |

I keep in touch with NONE of my old partners whatsoever (not that I would want to) - probably because the breakups were so bad; 'tis either all or nothing with me (Sun in Aries/8th ).IP: Logged | |
