Married but have feelings for the ex who hurt me...

Question - (3 April 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 8 April 2009)
A female South Africa age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Cannot forget my ex. Long story. I was abused when I was young. Grew up in a big family and was always the black sheep. At 18 met Mr H and fell in love, thought finally I had found happiness. He broke my heart left me for another woman and married her and I managed to survive it but never got over him

I studied and qualified, met someone really nice and married him. After marriage found out that while we were engaged he had hooked up with his ex and went on a date. I never forgave him but stayed in the marriage. No reason to believe any further contact was made with his ex.

I have 2 wonderful kids and a sucessful career and years later met Mr H who is still married but not happy. I wanted to hurt her by taking him away for what she did to me. He is in love with me but neither one of us will leave our spouse. Problem is I cannot feel the passion and love with my husband and want out of the marriage but cannot do it to my husband and children. Okay so I am messed up and I am trying really hard to make my marriage work. My ex and I just talk infrequently.

I cannot forget my past and the hurt and betrayal. I get very upset at times and will never trust anyone. How do I move past the fact that I cannot forget what happened?

How can you not forget your first love? Was is very good at the time? It sounds so incredeble, that time didn't heal anything. Also very sad. Maybe you just want to win? What do you think?
