Married my ex's best friend

I met this guy (we will call him Mr. X) we dated for a little over 3 months. Things didn't work out because he was going through a divorce (started before I met him). After we broke up Mr. X's best friend (we will call him Mr. Z) started calling me and we started dating. 3 years later I am married to Mr. Z and we have a brand new baby boy. Recently Mr. X has started coming around (with his new girl friend) and hanging out with us. Everything was going good until I text Mr. X asking him if he left his jacket at our house. We started texting silly stuff back and fourth. Then then he started talking about the past. I shouldn't have but I answered his questions and reminised with him. I remember how into him I was and I found out that he was really into me. (Just bad timing with the divorce) then he told me he was still attracted to me. I haven't told my husband (Mr. Z) but I'm scared I still might have feelings for Mr. X. I love my husband with all my heart but we are having some marital problems. I know I shouldn't cheat but what do I do with these old feelings for my husbands BEST friend (my ex boyfriend)???

Last night I told Mr. X that I loved my husband and that no longer would I entertain his questions or suggestions. I didn't want to know anything about how he felt. I told my husband everything and he understood and we are working on our relationship

I am very proud of you. As a wife and woman, you've made my day!

You stopped it before it got out of hand, and confided in your husband (which took a lot of courage), and dropped #2. I think that's awesome.

You are so much better to do what you have done, and I hope that you feel some relief and that you can rest easy knowing that you have chosen the right path, with your husband.

That is probably the healthiest thing you could have done for your peace of mind and your marriage.

Good luck working things out and building a stronger relationship.

Feelings don't go away, you handle them, by staying within the boundaries of good behavior, and cussing this guy out for crossing the line, and disrespecting your MAN, and you, and your marriage, with inappropriate bad behavior, then you make sure you ignore him.

Thats what a mature married adult would do. If your husband notices, and ask whats up, you tell him what he did, and what you did about it.

Thats not hard to do, is it?
