We broke up about 8 years ago when I moved away. I guess we didn't get much closure there, because it wasn't an ugly break up. I just left. A year later, he called. We talked as friends but only once or twice. Then months later he was there for me when I needed someone to talk to as I was going through something big. I even talked about moving back to be with him, but I didn't go through with it and we lost touch.
Several years passed and he contacted me on facebook asking for my number. We talked a few times and he asked me to come visit. I did and we had an amazing time together, all of the chemistry was still there. It was the most awesome feeling. I wanted him to ask me to move there, but he didn't due to some personal things he was going through at the time.
Then after that every few months he'd call or text. Because he was not completely consistent, I moved on and got into a relationship with someone in my area. I asked him not to contact me but he still would every few weeks, I tried to ignore but it did get to my heart. Now I'm engaged to the other guy. My ex knows it but we can't stop thinking about each other. We spoke on the phone a few times and were finally honest about all of our feelings over the years and now. We both feel the same way about each other and always have. He is with someone else too, but he says it's not serious.
Although I told him I couldn't talk to him any more because I know it's wrong, I know I still love him. The only thing we are afraid of is that we both just "want what we can't have". We are afraid that if I did take the huge risk to be together that it wouldn't work out for some reason. Do you think this the case? Should I continue trying to forget him?
