Can I be friends with my married ex?
I am still in love with my first love who has now been married for 2 years to his wife.
He has admitted he still has strong feelings for me and has been open with his wife about it so they can discuss it and work through it.
He is 8 years older than me (Im 22 now) and was very keen to get married, which is why, I believe our relationship didn't last as I wasn't ready.
I have dated many since him but never been in love again, what we had was so intense and I really love him and miss his company so much.
But Im not an idiot I know he is married and I do not want to compromise that. I want to get back in regular contact with him as a friend, but can I do this seeing as I have such strong feelings. We have been emailing a little lately which his wife doesn't know about. I really think he made a mistake by marrying her
Am I asking for trouble? I just want him in my life again.
