I’m in a long term happy relationship, got a daughter and another on the way
However since being pregnant, it was like a switch went off and I can’t stop thinking about my ex..not really sexual things, just us going out for dinner, walking my dog together, life things. we broke near enough 10 years ago, we ran into eachother a couple of years ago while shopping but he had never really been a thought of mine. until the past few weeks where I cannot get him out of my head, what the fuck is going on.
I legit feel like my cravings are my ex and cigarettes even though I don’t smoke, I feel like I want cigarettes like I imagine a heavy smoker wanting cigarettes

I sometimes have the same thoughts, also been over for 8 years but it’s weird. Also having nightmares about my ex ex who was crazy so I think my mind is just all messed up. I know I love my husband so just ignoring it and did tell him about it…
Can’t help on the cigarettes! Haha
It’s soo odd, my last pregnancy I wanted cigarettes all the time and I put it down to a control thing, because I wasn’t allowed it I wanted it .
But this time it’s worse and very much not enjoying it 😂

Not the same but I’m craving wine all the time! Just want to have a glass of rosè with lunch on a Sunday or sit in the garden of an evening with a nice glass of red haha. And I also think of my ex! Although it was only two years ago I had such a vivid dream where I told him about the pregnancy and he was happy for me but disappojted! I think because you’re going through another huge change the subconscious (which is what comes out in dreams) is reminding you of times of comfort like dog walks etc. doesn’t mean the relationship was perfect or that you have to do anything!
