Dear Question Asker,
Thank you for your inquiry.

I am a professional counselor. First, I will give you a big hug. In the world of relationships, there is no right or wrong, only people who don't cherish each other. Because of the current relationship, you have allowed your emotions to cloud your judgment, leading you to prioritize temporary solutions over long-term stability. It's like when we want to buy something we've had our eye on, and when we actually get it, it doesn't seem to feel the same as it did at first. Since it's an ex-girlfriend, then we have to address the current girlfriend. Everything has a cause and effect. It was precisely because of the breakup with the ex-girlfriend that there was a later incident. But when we continue with the new story, we can't let go of the past for a long time. Not being able to say goodbye means that we are really not willing to let go. From the fact that she blocked herself from you, there are two signals. First, you have no debt to her, and she has no debt to you. Unless you really like the ex more than the current one, what else can you do? If there is no debt, how can you meet again? After meeting again, you still hope to forget each other, or continue to maintain this kind of ambiguous and complicated relationship. Compared to women, men are even more inclined to prioritize their own needs.
It is evident that she is unable to do so.
Your girlfriend's initial impression of her was not positive. Following a disagreement, they separated. You did not have a positive opinion of her, so you did not engage with her. The differences in personality were evident from the outset and contributed to the breakdown of the relationship. Regardless of your feelings at the time, if there is no emotional connection, it will not last. During that period, your focus was on visual experiences. The feeling of not cherishing the relationship and missing each other after the separation is a common experience among couples. It is not a case of forgetting her or her forgetting you. It is simply a matter of taking a step back, creating some space, and allowing the distance to bring about a positive change.
Two years later, she informed you that she had a fever and sought medical attention. There was no sexual contact. Reflecting on their relationship, you maintain the same feelings for her as at the outset. From your perspective, you have not fully let her go, but rather the past. She appears emotionally distressed and has been crying frequently. Later that morning, she instructed you to leave the premises because the man had approached her again. You have not heard from her since.
Firstly, another party has caused her distress, and you wish to be the one to provide protection and comfort. Secondly, she has taken the initiative, and you have subsequently developed feelings for her. This kind of situation is one that causes us to feel particularly vulnerable, and it is a desire that we wish to demonstrate can be fulfilled by men.
Three years later, she disclosed that she had a fever. This time, it was related to the new crown. She stated that in recent years, she had encountered an unsavory character when she was emotionally distressed, and the relationship ended after she learned more about him. However, he persisted in contacting her, and she later filed a police report. She subsequently met a highly compatible partner. It has been a year since they separated. He was extremely fond of her, and they resumed sexual intimacy.
I ignored her because I already had a girlfriend. However, she became very strange. After two days, she suddenly sent a lot of messages saying that she didn't plan on being in a relationship recently. It seemed like she had seen my girlfriend. After that, she didn't contact me. Ten days later, she contacted me again and started pestering me. She was also struggling with herself. In the end, she suddenly asked me if we could try again. I refused, saying that I couldn't do it if she were looking for me. I told her she could just go ahead and find someone else. Then she explained. I suddenly realized that she didn't know I had a girlfriend. I covered it up and responded to her. She immediately felt it and blocked and deleted me.
From another perspective, these two sexual encounters (one initiated by you, one not) do not indicate that she is in love with you. If we assume that the sexual partner is engaging in sexual activity solely to satisfy their physical desires, then it is possible that this is the case. She is not the only man in her life, and even if she is aware that you have a girlfriend, it does not prevent her from engaging in sexual activity with you because she has already evaluated you from the moment she began dating you. I am unsure if you have considered this, but this cannot be classified as cheating, nor can we make any assumptions about her character. At the very least, you have had a period of time together, and it is more appropriate for her to pursue you. Because you have maintained your commitment to your current girlfriend for a second time, it can be seen that you are still emotionally attached to her. As for why she keeps asking you out again and again, it is because you are available and can be contacted at any time. More importantly, you believe you understand her, which has become the reason she is willing to accept you. In fact, you cannot be considered emotionally attached. At least after several encounters, she just lacks a male partner, but this is not love.
The concept of love is centered on the notions of possession and giving. It is evident that she lacks these fundamental aspects of love. It is plausible that her upbringing in an environment that lacked a sense of security has shaped her expectations. She appears to crave the attention and companionship of numerous members of the opposite sex, which may be a manifestation of her underlying insecurity.
Based on the information you have provided, I will offer a few suggestions.
From an objective standpoint, deleting is merely a tactic to "play hard to get." An external observer may perceive more than the individual involved. It is evident that she will not leave you easily, and your feelings for her have surpassed her existence to you. It is essential to evaluate your intentions and consider your current relationship. If you claim that the initial encounter was a case of mistaken identity, it was merely to satisfy a feeling of emptiness. However, you have returned to reality and must determine whether she truly loves you or intends to walk down the aisle with you. This is a crucial decision that requires careful consideration.
If necessary, engage in a candid discussion. If the motivation for seeking a new relationship is simply to fill a void left by a previous one, it is advisable to proceed with caution. Given the presence of a current partner, the situation carries inherent risks.
As you are not married, this constitutes a loss of self-identity in terms of ethics and morals. It is not considered an actual infidelity.
In essence, you are passive and somewhat addicted. You cannot say whether you like it or not, but you feel more unwilling than your current attitude towards your current girlfriend. The more you are not allowed to get close to her, the more curious you are. Realistically, if your current one really knows your situation, it may not be the worst result. It is fate who can get together with someone, and it is also God's will who can't. I hope you can cherish everything in front of you.
It is not the objective phenomena that are important; what is important is what you really want. The subjective choices should be made according to your heart. The more we cannot get what we want, the more we want it. Once we really get it, we may not cherish it. Whether your ex really grasps you, only you know best in your heart. Once you get married, you will be able to see the essence of the truth. You can try to fight for it.
This advice is for reference only. We are all connected in this world.
Best regards,

I can't believe how complicated this situation is. It sounds like there's a lot of unresolved feelings on both sides, and it's been a rollercoaster over the years. I'm not sure what to think about her reaching out again after all this time.
It seems like she's had a really tough time with relationships since we were together. I wonder if she's looking for comfort or just someone to talk to. I should probably be careful not to get too involved since I have a girlfriend now.
This is such an odd pattern she has getting in touch only when she's sick or in trouble. It makes me wonder if she's using me as some sort of backup or emotional support whenever things go south for her. I need to set boundaries.
Her messages are confusing; one minute she's distant, the next she's reaching out. It feels like she can't make up her mind about what she wants. I should focus on my current relationship and not get caught up in her ups and downs.
She's been through a lot, and it's clear that she's been hurt by past relationships. Maybe she's trying to reconnect on some level, but I have to be honest with myself and with her about where I stand. It's important to communicate clearly and not give her false hope.
