Should I keep that little place in my heart for him and move on?

Question - (30 March 2013) 2 Answers - (Newest, 22 April 2013)
A female United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I used to date O years ago he was sweet and we had known each other since we were just 6.

We lost contact and I met M who messed me about constantly but I was young and in love. He dumped me for someone else.

O asked me out again I said yes but at the time was heartbroken from M and so said I needed to be alone.

M said he wanted me back and so being so in love I said yes. 5 years later we now live together with our son. M is a great father and can be a great partner these days but we have not been without our problems and trust issues. I do love M but recently I cannot get O out of my mind. Over the years I have kept in touch on and off with O we would just talk about general casual stuff but in recent months he now has a new girlfriend and since then he has deleted me off facebook and never replies to my messages. I cant get him off my mind and constantly wonder what if?

I know I probably have no right, I had my chance and I didn't take it. I just long to talk to him. Should I tell him I miss him? Or just get on with the life I guess I made.

I guess I'm finding it hard to completely let go or not talk to some one I have known for 18 years since were 6. Should I just keep that little place in my heart for him and just move on?

So_Very_Confused agony auntyep he gets a spot on the shelf in your heart as a fond memory and life goes on....

Clearly he's committed to his new GF who either has asked him to end contact with all ex partners or he did it on his own because he's now over and done....

Yes yes keep that little place in your heart and move on.This is a very wise choice on your part because as you stated you have it all with M and your son and dont risk in doing anything else.Part of you will always care for O but leave it there Count your blessing that you have such a wonderful father for your son and loving partner.Kind Wishes Nora B.
