Should I tell him how I feel?

[itiswhatitisxx]

I split up with ex partner just over 2 years ago after 10years together. No infidelity more down to my relationship with members of his family breaking down when I finally said my thoughts and stopped biting my tongue around them.
Fast forward and we are friends.no children.neither of us have met other people,I've dated a bit.Unsure if he has.he doesn't ask or like to know if I am dating etc although he says he wants me to be happy.we meet for dinners,sometimes twice in a month other times it can be a couple of months without seeing or speaking.catch up via message.i live in the north and he's in the south.
After all this time I still truly love him,and believe he's my person.do I risk my friendship with him telling him or do I say nothing as the likelihood is it's been too long and it would never work?
Thanks.

Has he got a girlfriend

If he's single then it sounds like it would be worth having a conversation with him about whether you two could try again.. I guess the main thing would be talking honestly about whether the things that broke you up first time (ie the relationship with his family and any other issues ) would still be there or whether things have changed. You would of course need to be prepared for him to say no if he doesn't want to pursue it, but it sounds like you might regret not going for it.

Pickings are slim out there. Why not give it another try.

He is single.And you are right I feel I would always regret it.i think if it wasn’t for his family it could work but maybe it’s been too long im not sure.but I 100% agree it is slim pickings 😂🫤dating now is not easy or fun!

As you're both single I dont think you've got anything to loose.

However - the problem was his family and thats not going to change so I think you need to think very carefully about that issue - if you do get back together and eventually have kids etc - how would his family fit in with you and him and potentially a child. really think about this - dont try and sugar coat it in your mind or dismiss potential future issues. thats important if you want his relationship to be long term.
Also bear in mind this will obviously be long distance initially as youre in north and he the south. I know dating is potentially shite but would you be better off finding someone new closer to home??

Just some things for you to consider.

@OlderandwiserMaybe thank you for the reply and I do agree with what your saying.we did long distance at the start so I’m happy to do it again but because we have so much history maybe it would feel a step backwards.i just truly believe he’s the love of my life and after 2years I still feel the same.but I do think the family thing would be too hard.i just don’t want to have regrets so I’m really stuck.

To note it was certain members of his family not all of them and not his parents.

Heyyyyyy, I am a sincere femenist male and OMG this is so brave. I personally think Caitlyn Jenner is a strong indepedent female and tbh I feel the same about my situationship too and maybe this is good for us..... Maybe we should meet up.... My name is Travis Bailey. P.S should I get a perm >:

Do it because you love him, not because dating is hard or the pickings are slim. I think LDRs are great. They are a natural brake that gives people time to get to know each other and a broader experience of discovering each other's homes, cities, towns, etc.
Quite an adventure.

@Madamegreen i do still love him. I think I always will. You are right about long distance, it kept the excitement for us when we did it at first before he moved to be with me.

Always go for what you want, i wish more women saw it this way. It is better to be turned down than to lose what could be.

But is the reason you split up still there? You say it was his family. Presumably they haven't gone anywhere.
