My girlfriend and I have been together for several years and I do love her very much. Lately we have begun talking about getting married and all I can do is think about the woman I was dating before we got together. In my heart I know that she was the love of my life and I never expected to lose her.
I don’t think I can marry this woman knowing that I love someone else more. I think I have a duty to myself to tell my Ex how I feel even if I know that she doesn’t feel the same way about me.
I also think that no matter what else happens I should leave this relationship before it goes any further. I’m not as young as I used to be and I’m not looking forward to starting over but I don’t see that I have much of a choice.

What happened between you and your ex so that she’s your ex and not your girlfriend? Did you get to a point of commitment and then back out? Or did she leave you and in so doing leave some unfinished business that you need to take care of?
You’ve made up your mind about leaving this relationship. Hopefully you’ll use your past experience to make this break as gentle as possible for your girlfriend. She’s going to be hurt no matter what you do but telling her first before you talk to your ex is the honest way to go. — Queenie
