it's hard but you hav to try.. People come into our lives for different reasons. Maybe your ex was there to teach you something or to show you the meaning of love.. But sometimes when someone shows us these things we never let go. And truth be told you don't have to let go, you just have to put the memory in its palce.. Accept it for what it is. A memory.. A good memory. Something that can comfort you once in a while because we all go back to the past when our present lives disappoint or hurt us.. But be fair to your current mate and stop pining because it isn't fair.. So accept your past, be proud that you were blessed with it and move on and look ahead to the future

SoftlyCaress agony auntYou just have to let go !! I was doing pretty much the same thing with my ex husband of 26 years. I started seeing a man but it was so hard because I would continue thinking about my ex and one day I was sitting and started thinking HOW CAN I DO THIS to my new partner? It wasn't fair at all, I was only giving him half of me not all of me. SO you need to try and think that way... The person that you are with now deserves to have your whole heart not just half...
