I still love my ex, and she's single again. But to get together with her means breaking up my new relationship!

A male , anonymous writes:

I was with my ex girlfriend for almost six years. She was married throughout the relationship but we were deeply in love and she never once made me feel like the other man. In fact went to great lengths not to. She attempted to leave her husband but has small children and could not bring herself to do it.

Towards the end, the pressure of it all got to her and she called it off. I was totally devastated, I couldnt sleep or eat and sought comfort in the bottom of a bottle.

We stayed in contact and are still really good friends. I still love her and miss her and I know she feels the same.

After a couple of months, I met someone and have been seeing her for 5 months now. She is lovely and I care a lot for her but I still love my ex.

My ex has now left her husband and although she has not said she has left him to be with me I think she has. She has told me it was unbearable being with him and not having me in her life.

My new girl knows I still see my ex regularly and although she doesn't like it, she knows it is purely platonic now. I have up to now been trying to build this relationship because I really thought I would never be with my ex as she would never leave her husband.

Im so confused, I never loved anyone the way that I loved her and we still have a really good relationship but without the physical intimacy.

Do I give things another go or do I stay with my current girlfriend who I have developed deep feelings for and who is uncomplicated.

Please help

Im in a similar position, my ex hurt me, and has since explained what happened, which all makes complete sense and says she loves me, we met up and it was electric, only problem is, I have a new gf and i care for her deeply too... Do i risk it with the ex or stick with the uncomplicated current gf...

wishes agony auntIt sounds like your ex is your soulmate. Being your soulmate doesnt mean that it will be easy, but the fabulous things in life never are. It seems as though you will never be completely happy unless you are with her. If you do break up with your girlfriend dont tell her its because you are leaving her for your ex. This will hurt her even more and make it hard for her to ever trust again.
