A few months ago i got back in contact with my first proper love. We have been talkin ever since. An all my feelings have come flooding back. I have met him twice since being back in contact but nothing has happened. We have shared a kiss but thats about it. I really feel as though i love him, but i dont want to hurt or upset my husband or kids. But i cant seem to get this other bloke out of my mind. What should i do as my marriage is as good as it can get. Im a bit confused and need some advice on what to do. Am i just being selfish?

First loves are extremely powerful. I know I still think of mine from time to time. For whatever reason, it is like a drug that beckons you to rekindle those glory days and ask yourself "what if".
Like any drug, though, it comes with a price. Too often we forget the bad times. There was a reason why you and your first love broke up, and more than likely it is still there.
If you are serious about being faithful and maintaining your family, you need to cut this guy lose. Seriously, be honest and upfront with this other guy or simply cut him lose, but to protect yourself, you need to let him go and the sooner the better. Please no games either (secret emails, friends on facebook, etc)
Yes, it will be extremely difficult and painful. You'll always wonder if you are / were making the right decision, but I hope when doubt crosses your mind, you take a good hard look at your kids and ask yourself how they would feel living in a home where there father wasn't present or they could only visit their father every other weekend because you had a fling with a former boyfriend. When you play the story out to its probable conclusion the result isn't so rosy, is it? Also, imagine how you would feel if your husband did this to you.
Again, I sympathize and empathize with your plight. Your task isn't easy, but I hope you are strong and make the right move.
If you need help, you might want to enlist a trusted girlfriend for support.
Cheers

You never get over your first true love. I often think about mine, but would never dream of being with him and not be with the man I truly love. Not to mention my first love is married, ha ha! Seriously, I wouldn't make contact with him, if it leads you to kissing him. You know as well as I do that one time, kissing will lead to something you're going to regret. Do you really want to jeopardize your marriage?
