TLDR; Im pursuing a friendship with my ex, I would like to have a good friendship with her. She shamed me for my interests while we dated, but is now a fan of them. How do I let go of my animosity?
My ex and I dated for 2 years. I have always been very extroverted, I love partying/dancing/rap music/etc. She shamed me pretty heavily for it.
I recently dated a lovely girl and she reminded me what it’s like to have a partner that actually likes you.
My ex and i broke up 4 months ago, and pursued a friendship shortly after. Intimacy + romantic feelings died long before that.
As she’s been trying these new things, I find myself lashing out from a hurt place and I know that’s not fair to her. If I want to pursue a friendship then I have to let this go.
Any advice?
