softtouchmale2003 agony auntYou can be in love with several people at the same time.

Your ex is someone that you imagine in your mind, as the person you knew. But he's changed and so have you.

You have the good fortune of having a man who loves you so much; and if you would finally give him a chance, and let him into your heart, then your ex will be a beloved and fond memory.

Its so sad what you've written because your love with the ex was broken by other people doing things and changing his life and taking him away from you; and in desperation and loneliness you ended up with someone else and he ended up with someone else.

Neither one of you wants to break up marriages now, and you have children with different people.

The only solution right now, is to simply love the one who is so dedicated to you. That love is precious. Love is so hard to find in this world as it is, and to have that kind of dedication is priceless.

I would say open your heart to this man who is there for you now, despite trying to be alone. I hope you didn't break up with him. But if you did and he loves you, then if he knows you've changed your heart, it won't matter.

I feel terrible for you because your heart is still stuck in a time-warp. What happened was terribly unfair, almost cruel. But never overlook what you have in your life. And it seems you have someone right there for you.
