I met a woman who left her ex and family after 17 years of marriage, she was over him years before the divorce but she stayed for the kids.
I dated her right after she was separated. Two years later, she says she still grieves her family. She is honest with me, she says she loves her ex still but not in love like a brotherly love, he was not good for her and their marriage was toxic but she still grieves because she broke the family apart and left her kids. She gets her kids a few times a week but still grieves when she doesn't have them.
What's the situation here? Is she actually not over her ex? It seems like once our honeymoon phase is coming to an end grieving is getting worse?
I've never had a family like that to understand her, is this normal? I understand the loving someone but not being in love with them as I and my ex broke up after 5 years, I still love her too but not in love and know we weren't a match for each other but I've accepted and moved on
