i am confused - someone please help me make the right decision
Question Posted Thursday January 15 2009, 9:02 am
I am from South Africa and I am 32 years of age. 14 years ago I met the man of my dreams. There was a misunderstanding, we broke up. Suddenly he is back in my life and I can't help but have a yearing for him.i can't sleep and i lay awake recalling our memories and conservations. I am now married with no kids. He is married with 2 kids. we phone each other all the time and I want to be with him. My hubby is wonderful and I don't want to hurt him either. He on the other hand says he wants to keep in contact with me but I am not sure what to do. I want to do the right thing but I don't want anyone to get hurt. Should I forget about him - which I can't as we sometimes bump into each other at friends/family functions. I know he wants to be with me - but he has commitments too. What must I do... I need help. I feel as if I should have a relationship with him in secret.

I would invite him to dinner with his family maybe and talk. After, if your connection is strong talk to him in private, then talk to your husband and be honest. you cant have an affair, as that will ruin both your happiness. keep in mind that he may not be in love with you anymore either, as hard as that is to believe, since you may have changed too. Just be careful and avoid sexual contact. [ scrwdlsr666's advice column | Ask scrwdlsr666 A Question ]
