Today’s topic: In Love with Another Man Good Morning, I was currently in a relationship for about 8 years when he decided that he wanted to make his life a little better by moving to new orleans after Katrina to help his brother out. I knew he was only going because his brother use to play for the pro football and he wanted a hand out.So we tired the long term relationship for a few months. That didnt work out. So we decided to break up.I did not want the kids that he left behind to suffer so i stayed in their lifes.I help their mothers with anything they need. I get the kids every other weekend and my now fiancee of 3years does not know that the kids belong to my ex he just thinks that their parents are my best friends and they are my god children, but the point of the letter is that he is back now and when i seen him in the club all my old memories came back he asked for my number and i gave it to him. After talking on the phone over the days and he calling and checking on me more than my fiance. I realized that i am still in love with him. I think about him all day everyday even when i am having relations with my fiance. My fiance says he feel that i dont love him anymore and i act different. I dont want to tell him that my heart is somewhere else but it is. I dont know what to do. I love my fiance but im still in love with my ex.I need to figure out what should i do my wedding is in a few months and im scared should i just get married and hope my feelings for my ex go away or should i tell him about my feelings for my ex. Signed, scared and confused
