oh snap i love mishti. okay i have a few different ideas and nothing set in stone as far as exes so i was totally down to expand more with whoever was interested but some ideas to expand on and i am open o hearing about any you might have too: the girl he dated in the last few years who was very likely his first real love and there would be a good chance he fucked it up because of some of his emotional issues and walls building up. he'd be affectionate, excitable with going on adventures on one hand but on the other hand guarded, hot and cold during fights, maybe felt her getting too close and kind of burned things to the ground. maybe they were even kinda toxic together depending on her personality? OR someone he met at a campus orientation/during a class he take. i'm not 100% but i'm leaning towards him dropping out of college so if she was still attending it could've put a damper on things that he was running off living his best life (so it seemed) and she was busy studying, and probably had legit distractions in that OR someone he attempted an open/poly relationship with and either it went well and just fizzled out or kind of ended in flames and miscommunication
