Listener (Aaron)

Number five. Okay, number five. Hi, Dad. I love the show and have been a fan since day one. I'm a 29-year-old female, and I just got out of a long relationship with, we'll call him F. I wasn't really into this guy, but it felt like a safe option. Here's the situation. There's an ex, we'll call him A, who has been in my life the last 10 years.

Even through other relationships, A has always been in the back of my mind. Between relationships, we always find our way together again. A always told me I deserved better and when I had started to date F he tried to come back into my life. I didn't go for him and feel like I ended up wasting my time with F. I've been in love with A and I'm now single.

A tells me I will move on and find better but the thing is he is my forever. I feel that if I don't fight for this I will miss out on a once in a lifetime love. If I move on, he will always be in the back of my mind. Has anyone had this? I truly believe that if you love something, you fight for it. But am I naive in this scenario?

I fear that I will either live in regret for not fighting, and I fear that no one will live up to the love that we have. It's truly an indescribable feeling. Ideal outcome, I want to feel this love forever. I would like to try with A, but scared I will have regret in either way it goes.

Yeah. I feel like for me, if you don't give this a shot, you're going to continue to self-sabotage because that's what you've done the past couple of years and relationships you've tried. Like you've self-sabotaged because you've had an ex in the back of your mind who you still think is your person, your forever love, your once in a lifetime love. Like you have to give it a shot.

You have to pursue it. Otherwise, I don't know if you're ever going to really move on.

Yeah, and I will just say like if A keeps giving you excuses like, oh, you're going to move on or you'll find better than me. Take that as your sign. If A wanted to be with you and you go to him and you say, I love you. Let's give this a shot. And he still has excuses. Not your person. If you wanted to, he would. And you need to be met with the same energy you're putting out there.
