I am friends with my ex on facebook and weve been exchanging msg and text once a while.Is been 8yrs since we split up but hes always been in contact.I left him bcos i wanted to settle down but he wasnt ready and he wasnt there when i needed him.I know he was hurt bcos he kept telling friends and family how much he still love me and want to do anything to have me back.I got married,had a son but it didnt work out,got back with him and we got on well.I had to relocate due to a better job offer,i manage to get one for him but yet again he wasnt ready to move with me.I got married and had three kids but he kept in contact and knew everything,sends romantic msg and tells me he still loves me.Unfortunately am seperated from my partner but i havent told him abt it.Dnt think it will be fair on him to get back with me after two marriages and four kids.(honestly i still love him).
I got a friend request from a woman on facebook and when i checked the photos,she had all this wedding pictures of them kissing,etc.I was shocked bcos i didnt know he was married so i sent him a msg to confirm but he didnt reply so i sopke to him on the phone which he confirmed they got married last two weeks.One of my friends attended so she confirmed too.Told him abt the friend request from his wife and he told me to ignore it.Am just confused why she want to be my friend.I dont hate her and am glad hes move on too but is just awkward.

It isn't love though is it? Not really. Love definitely does go away, sometimes by itself, sometimes you have to take steps to move your feelings forward. I cannot believe that really you would be able to have three children with someone else and all the time be loving him secretly. If you ever did know who he was you don't now, you didn't even know he was getting married so how can you possibly love him?! It sounds like an obsession and one which you have never been happy to do anything about.

How you are being on this thread is really childish stropping about like a teenager who's been banned from seeing her bf by her dad...
