Shout Out to my Ex ... You’re Really Quite the Man.

I was looking after my friends daughter (who, in my dream, was only small again) She kept eating everything in sight and completely devoured everything in the legendary ‘snack box’. I was relieved when her mum came to pick her up at the end of the day. For some reason, I gave her my handbag(?!) I remember having a fair bit of money in one of the inside pockets (maybe £200 or more) but when she returned it, the pocket was empty. I didn’t want to accuse her of taking it but knew it must have been her (as I had checked it before I gave it to her?!) Next scene; I was driving my car trying to figure out where the heck I was going. The roads had all changed and it all was very confusing. As I was driving, a phone beeped. It wasn’t mine, it was my husband’s. He had left it in the car by accident. I parked the car and I did the unthinkable. I clicked onto his phone and scrolled through his messages. I was alarmed to read that he had received a text message from my ex (a horrible man and certainly no friend of my husbands) which didn’t make sense at all. It must have been some sort of inside joke. I felt betrayed and angry. Next scene; My Ex boyfriend (the same one as in the previous scene) had come over to visit (this would never happen in real life as I haven’t seen him for about 8 years). He burst into tears and seemed really vulnerable. He told me he was sorry for the way he treated me and that he was only like that because he got treated badly as a child. He then threw his arms around me and sobbed into my shoulder. I felt awkward and didn’t quite know what to do. When he finally stopped, I asked him to leave.
