I’m married to the love of my life. My husband is very kind and understanding. We don’t have any kids yet but life is still great with just me and my husband.

I’m married to the love of my life. My husband is very kind and understanding. We don’t have any kids yet but life is still great with just me and my husband. However, there are times that I miss my ex-boyfriend. I had a boyfriend whom I met at an international dating blog. We lasted 4 years but had to go our separate ways when he fell in love with another woman. I had to let him go because I was so hurt. Perhaps, I never really healed from the pain I went through. Later on, I met my husband and he has always taken care of me. But what he doesn’t know is that there are very few moments when I miss my ex. Does any of you feel this way? Missing an ex even when you’re married?

    I think the healthy thing to do is address your feelings. I mean that in the sense of figure out why you still have those feelings. It is quite likely you never did heal from your past relationship and that's why you're having these feelings. Remember why you fell in love with your husband in the first thing and all the things that you love about him. There's a reason you're not with your ex.. it wasn't meant to be. Focus on that, allow yourself to get over your past relationship, and try to move on. Sometimes our minds or our hearts do weird things and that doesn't make you a bad person. Just try to figure out what you can do to get over the ex and be happy and present with your husband.

    Jesus! Take it easy. You do realize we are all human right? If you are blindly committed to your husband and do not think he or you won't even have feelings for another person, you are sadly mistaken my friend. Do not judge a situation you do not understand. It is VERY normal and healthy to be attracted to other humans while married. WE are married, we are not DEAD. You will have an attraction to other people and so will your husband. It is human nature, and it is ok. NOW! Acting on this is a choice, and that is not ok. Missing an EX, doe snot mean you miss that person. You married your current husband for a reason, and you might be missing a part of yourself that you don't have in your current relationship. There's a part of you or the relationship that you miss, NOT the person. Break down what you miss about the way you were treated and why it makes you feel this way. Then talk to your husband about it. There is a VOID, and you just need to work it out. GOOD LUCK!

    I didn't pick my husband, I ended up with him so I have feelings for other people I haven't dealt with.

    If you were married to the "love of your life" you wouldn't miss your ex.

    Your situation is a reminder how people can face this beyond their control. Hopefully there are people who can help by continuing the topic of this thread or have been in your type of situation
