i could give you the longest explanation on why: but stay w/ who you are. why mess something good up

stay with the one ur with now ... most of the time things can never be the same as they were a year ago...people change over time and im sure u and ur ex have changed...

Sounds like your mind already knows what your heart is trying to tell you...in your heart of hearts, who will you be happier with?

although you and your ex are still in love, there was a reason for breaking up with him. stay with the new one you love if he's good to you and you love him, too.

the taller one.

i'm in the same boat. reccently i met my ex from 26 years ago, i hav'nt been able to get her out of my mind since. yet i've been in a relationship for the last 15 years to a very special person who has stood by me through cancer, my dads death and took on 3 children from my previous marriage plus so much more. what do i do, the mixed emotions are tearing me apart, i'm thinking of meeting my ex to tell her how i feel, hopefully we can be good friends and that will suppress any desire to fall further in love with her. do you think this is a good idea

This is exactly why it's not always the best idea to be talking to your ex's. The feelings were there before. They can be triggered again. My advice: There's a reason you two broke up. The grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence. Just because you think you were happier with your ex doesn't mean you were. Why do I say this? Well, here's an example. I know this girl who has a boyfriend who says she was happy when she was with her ex. Her ex even said that it was better when he was with her than his current girlfriend. Their emotions were playing mad tricks on them. I remember when they were together. They weren't happy at all. The only reason they think they were is because they chose to forget the bad times. You need sense knocked into your head, girl. The grass isn't always greener. He's your ex for a REASON. Stay with who you are with now. If you complicate this, dump the guy you're with now, and go back to your ex . . . after awhile, you'll probably remember why you broke up in the first place and wish you didn't break up with your current boyfriend. So, seriously, forget about it. Don't complicate things. Don't... seriously don't. It's not worth the heartbreak.
