Dear Queenie,
My first marriage ended because I couldn’t put up with the way my (ex-) husband was treating me. He wanted to control everything I did and got abusive when he thought I wasn’t doing things the way he wanted.
Now I am married to a wonderful man who treats me very well and makes me very happy, but sometimes I still remember my ex and kind of miss him. I would never want to get back together with him, but I still think about him sometimes.
Queenie, is there something wrong with me?—I’m happy now
Dear Happy Now,
There must have some good times with your ex, and time has a way of dimming our memories of the bad times, so what is staying with you is the good (or less bad) memories.
Do not let these memories trouble you, just try to concentrate on the good times you are having now.
