When my ex and I broke up almost 3 years ago, we managed to have a really civil relationship. His big sister and I are best friends and things haven’t really been difficult.
We hung out over thanksgiving break and all of my feelings for him came flooding back.
I didn’t realize how badly I missed him.

You have to think about why you broke up in the first place.
It’s entirely possible that you weren’t ready, and now you can see past the various problems that you had.
However, there’s another side which is – you never got a chance to recover. You never got a chance to live and see life without him.
Would you feel the same way if he wasn’t an incessant part of you life?
It’s great to break up with someone and then be civil with them – maximum respect for that. However, if you’re always in contact, then it can sometimes stunt your emotional journey.
You have to be truthful with yourself and ask yourself what is it that you miss? You broke up for a reason – does that reason still exist today?
