Been broken up for awhile..dated other people and developed serious feelings for someone else. It didn’t work out but I thought I had moved on till my ex moved to the same city and we started hanging out since I was helping them settle in. Saw we changed so much..in a good way and got along so well Yesterday he pocket dialed me nonstop and I heard his date even when I didn’t want to. I felt bad and now I’m questioning if I never really moved on.. it sucks how much it hurts even now after 2 years

They were there for me during some tough phases in my life and I wanted to help them out. I didn’t think much of it as I would’ve done that for any other friend too. We didn’t break up in a messy way or anything at the time…I guess I was holding onto hope

Maybe this is a cultural thing, but I need outside input. My nephew just turned 18, and I got him a bottle of Four Roses.

I thought of it as a coming-of-age type thing, but my sister-in-law was totally shocked and a little angry at me. Was I wrong for thinking this wasn't a big deal?
