Ex and I had relationship 10 years ago-we broke up as we were at different stages of life. He did love me . i saw him by chance last week and my heart lurched I was the one who broke it off but only as i could not stand his situation at the time Hedoes not have a partner Not met anyone as good as him since. it would have to beme who made the first move this time and of course he could refuse Worth it?

Depends on the reasons for your split?

"at different stages" and you "didn't like his situation at the time" isn't enough to go on.

I think that generally if it wasn't right then to the point that it caused you to split, it won't be right now (although 7 people will now come along and tell you it worked for them Grin).

He hada busy job and 2 young kids he had to help his ex look after. We saweach other regularly and were always in contact but after a year I found it hard never knowing when I was going to see him He always phoned , sent flowers and as soon as hehad time hedashed tobe with me but as time went on I could neverguarantee seeing him every weekend . I found it hard : he would drive down to seeme say Tuesday eve/night but when we parted he couldnever saywhen he wouldnext see me though he did see me if he could. Wewent away together, he wanted to spend his big vacations with me so it was just his situation then. I wanted more at that time

You have nothing to lose go for it. Why not or you will always wonder what if.

bumping into him after 10yrs - that's lucky, maybe it's meant to be this time? but how did he react to that sudden meeting? sometimes people who were rejected , have to work hard (it's a wrench) on switching off their feelings, and it's hard for them to do a u-turn later with same person. But if he never stopped loving, then it will show v.quickly if you suggest things. He may be a bit mistrustful though and test your feelings in that case.
