Me and my boyfriend just hit our 6 month mark, before getting together we were bestfriends for 3 years and he moved in with me when we first made it official for financial reasons. I love him and everything is great.

Before me and him got together I was in a previous relationship for a year that was very toxic. He was manipulating, emotionally abusive, didn’t really have any set goals but he was my first love until I finally was tired of the abuse and called it quits. It was a hard break up bc he consistently tried to manipulate me to come back but I stood my ground and never went back. When things were good with us they were amazing but when things were bad they were terrible. I still see him around from time to time.

Recently he has been in my head a lot. I really do miss him but I know my current boyfriend is so much better. Treats me so much better and my family loves him so much. But my ex just stays in the back of my head so much.

Why am I like this ?? I know he was so bad for me but I continue to think about him?
