It all started yesterday, after meeting up with a friend of mine to watch a movie and chit-chat for a couple of hours. I was left alone to wander at Powerplant Mall, and suddenly, streams of memories past began to trickle, no, gush forth, inside my head. I remembered my "Ex." I remembered the time when we were happily, romantically strolling in that place, him singing to me softly as he puts his arms around me or holds my hand. We were happy and in love. That reminiscing moment vanished as I received a text message from Enrique and we got to talk.
I thought that was the end of the ex-Factor, but no! Today I woke up, and "his face" was right in front of my face. I tried to shake him out, but he was still there, haunting me. To make things worse, my gushing stream of memories were back, this time more vivid than ever.
This is bad.
Guess it wasn't meant to be...
Why am I suddenly missing my Ex? Is this normal? Is this tantamount to cheating on my new man?
A few weeks ago, I went to Subic to visit a maritime school, where my Ex went. I felt uncomfortable that time since Subic is where my ex and I first met a year after we last saw each other. Those were truly lovely times. On my way back, Enrique sent me a text message that he hopes that as I leave Subic, I also leave my memories of my Ex behind and move on and fully open up to him. I guess he didn't hope enough.
And probably the Ex-Factor is really still a factor.

This is quite a 'look who's talking comment' but allow me to share some views I've got: First of all, missing your ex is normal but we should build new memories instead of dwelling on the past. Second, there's really a thing called ex-factor but recognizing it is a choice we make. Third, not all spinsters are sad. Sometimes, they are happier than wives. - ruth
