Ashley Jacobsis opening up about the state of her relationship with ex-boyfriendThomas Ravenel.

The formerSouthern Charmedstar, 33, shared a collage of photographs of herself with Ravenel on Instagram in which she spoke about her feelings about the 56-year-old.

“For all the crap we went through together this past year, the good really does outweigh the bad,” Jacobs wrote in the caption. “You can’t go through stuff like that and just pretend like it never happened, like the person that got you through some of the toughest times of your life now means nothing to you.”

She continued, “You were my boyfriend during a time in my life when I needed you and you needed me. I don’t know how much I believe in the idea of fate, but if it exists, I know it brought you and me together for a reason… even if we weren’t made to last forever.”

The registered nurse added, “We might not be creating new memories anymore, but I still treasure the ones we have, and I’d do it all again knowing how things turned out in the end. Thank you for the memories, the good and the bad, and I’ll forever cherish them till the day I leave this world.”

“I was lucky to have met you, Thomas. I look forward to being good friends for a long, long time….,” she wrote.

Ravenel and Jacobs split in August after over a year of dating.

However, a Bravo source told PEOPLE that Jacobs was never an official cast member, more so a friend of the cast, “so there would be no conversation of her returning or not.”
