Was in a situationship with someone for over a year, realised I felt very strongly about her and we had good compatibility - asked her if she wanted to make it exclusive and build together
She choose another person over me, I made my peace with it and tried to move on (basically became a gym bro).
Every few months she comes back and texts me saying that I was the best thing in her life and that she wants to get serious and that her mom really wants us to get together.
At this point it’s become joke in my friend circle, cause she’ll come back and then decide she doesn’t want to make this work.
