Coming to a realization

I told my ex when he is ready I do want to get back together with him . We dated straight out of high school moved in with each other then had a baby , he ended up cheating on me and at first I was so furious I couldn’t believe he did that . But being apart from him made me realize that I really shouldn’t be mad but grateful only bc if we would have stayed in a relationship together I would have never got to experience the things that I did .

We both recently expressed our feelings for each other and we still love each other , we talked about being together in the future and possibly getting married . We co parent perfect together and we just want to leave as that rn and I’m finally okay with the fact we are not together . I still pray that we do can meet again in life but rn I’m wish for the best for him and his life and see where god takes us .

People tell me I’m very optimistic and stupid to hope this but nobody understands what we got , I know he cheated but again he’s a young boy that’s is curious not trying to make an excuse for him but I’m starting to understand him .
