Without going into too much details for privacy protection:
My ex FA’s phantom ex - possibly a rebound from the ex before her. The relationship wasn’t incredibly long. Almost half of it was long distance. My FA said towards the end it didn’t feel like a relationship. However, she left him due to distance. Even tho they weren’t very intimate from the way he described this relationship, he was somehow very hurt by the rejection.
My phantom ex - we were very intimate. We were the love of each other’s life. I could see him in my future at one point. The relationship was abusive and messy towards the end. I became more and more avoidant with serious intimacy issues after the breakup. Only realised how much I pined for him until I read about attachment theory and started to work on myself. Still miss the relationship terribly and convince myself I might not find anything better and I might not be capable of that level of intimacy again.
