Should you go back to an ex?

Absolutely not, particularly if you are now in a relationship

We have another story of a man who wants to revive a relationship with an ex after he saw her old flame. He writes, "We were highschool sweethearts but after a two-year relationship, her family relocated and we lost touch. Though she lives on a different continent now, somehow we met each other after 20 years. We were talking about the old times, about our sex life, and caught up on other things. It felt as we were never apart and she was always mine. Since then we have been in touch by email but she recently told me, that she is trying to go away from me because if we revive this relationship, we will be in trouble later. I was a bit surprised because just a few months back she told me that she can give everything to me. But now she is trying to go away from me. What I have to do to get her love? Now I am deeply in love with her. We are both married and have kids and live with our own families. Please advise. I need her."

We have dealt with similar situations in the past and our response has always been the same: so get on with your lives and leave the past behind. What did not happen then - well, do not force it to happen now under a new set of circumstances. While platonic friendship with an ex is fine, a romantic relationship with an ex is a problem.

I think what she told you was in the heat of the moment and she may be rethinking the whole issue now. I would strongly advise you to just try to forget her (it may not be easy; Jessica Simpson did not forget Nick Lachey for a long time) considering that you are both married, live so far apart, and she is not interested in ruining either yours or her marriage. And it also seems that your current marriage is not going well. You would be better off by working closely with your wife to fix that rather than thinking of an ex.
