Okay, firstly I would say that it probably is not a good idea to marry your boyfriend, not while you are still torn up over your ex. Please think through it carefully, don't jump into any major decision like that.

It sounds like the relationship you had with your ex wasn't a very good experience, yet you can't stop thinking about him. You clearly still have deep feelings for him, because from what you described you are in a lot of pain over him. I'm sorry you are hurting so much.

I recently gave advice to someone in a similar situation, and I recommended trying to focus on all of the reasons why the relationship didn't work, what went wrong, all of the bad times, etc. Just as a way of reminding yourself why you broke up in the first place, and why you are better off apart.

But I'm not sure if this will be enough to help you. You say that you are very depressed, and that will make everything feel so much worse, including the situation with your ex. If you feel that bad, I recommend seeing your doctor, and getting help for how you are feeling. There is help available, and you can feel better. Once you start to feel better within yourself, you will probably find that you are able to move on from your ex.

I hope things improve for you, take care. x

I know exactly how you feel. After breaking up with my boyfriend after being with eachother for 2 years I still am not over him. I found it difficult to be with my other boyfriend then after him coz he was always in my head. But after the way he treated my I told myself that I deserve better.

In your case, you have found better! You have something really good and shouldn't let it be spoilt by your ex, instead you should concentrate on your fiancee.

Why dont you talk to your fiancee about this? Or make a list on all the bad things your ex did and all the good things your guy does.
