I don't know if this is the correct place to post this... I apologize in advance if it is not.

My ex and I were always meant to just be best friends, but we seem to be mirroring each other's lives.

For example the first person I was in a 'situationship' with, she months later had the exact same experience and they even have the same name. After mine ended I met someone who I knew wasn't it, but spoke to for a bit until I gradually fizzled it out. When hers ended she had the same experience...and again, the same name. Around the time I was fizzling out, I met the person I feel like I could marry, my ex and I were not really talking at the time as I was trying to focus on my new relationship (it being long term also, an added difficulty). Things were really good between my partner and I. When my ex and I started talking more and again just being friends (its been that way for years prior to us splitting), my relationship started to suffer. My partner was and is still very much my main priority and my attention goes mainly to her. My ex is simply just a friend I talk to and get advice/moral support etc. Now during all this she met who she believes to be her 'one'. Finally...different name, but both long distance, both fire signs, similar personalities and with it whenever one of us has an issue in our relationships the other inevitably mirrors it. I love my partner so so much and I do not want to lose her. I do not know why this is happening and I am so desperate to unbind us properly and just continue with her being a good friend. Another reason we remain friends is she was in my kids lives for 7 years and they are close with her.

Please any advice is so appreciated on this.
