Loving someone eles yet you still love the person your dating?

Ok so I'm in a relationship with the greates guy ever. He's sweet, sensitive, caring, and a lil girly sometimes. He loves me with all his heart. But I mean I love him ssooo much. But there is not a day that goes by that I dont think about my ex. My ex and I broke up about like 8 months ago. I have been dating my bf now for 5 months and two days. I know what love is. I'm not stupid and I am in love with my man. I have known him for alomst over a year and we became great friends. Well I'm so confused because my ex and I are I guess you can say still friends. But I still love him becuase I lost my virginity to him and as well as he. But I just wanna know if he still loves me to. I mean we talk every now and then but I just want him to know that I still care about him and I still love him, and I still need him.
*sighs*
Anyone got any opinions...
  • Let it go
    Why do you want him to know these things unless you'd rather be with him? It's really not so healthy to stay friends with someone you have strong feelings for until you're able to not think of them that way, otherwise it's harder to get over them.

    I know you haven't done anything wrong really, but you're not allowing yourself to move on and grow into a better relationship like this. NO ONE can compete with an unrequited, forbidden love that also happens to be the one you lost your virginity to. It doesn't matter if you're with pre-crazy Mel Gibson (or whoever the kids like these days), a love that's mostly in your mind as perfect and "if only" is going to consume you more.

    Personally I'd be a little hurt if my girlfriend was more in love with someone else. Like she was just settling for me. I know you can't help the way you feel, but that's also just how I'd feel. You should really try to to speak with your ex less, and when you think about him every day, MOURN what you've LOST. Don't think about "if only".

    He'll always be in the back of your mind somehow. Decades from now you can be married in the best relationship of your life with kids and thrilled about it--but you'll still someday wonder how different things would have been if you stayed with this guy, or another. But so what, that's not how things are. He had an impact on your life, but try and make it a good and constructive one.

    Good luck with everything.

  • feelings for two but love only one
    one thing is to hav feelings for someone and the other is loving him... for love is true committment... so make up your mind... do you want to risk losing your present boyfriend over feelings of someone else? choose or else you will never end up happy for not being truely committed to love.

  • Bit of christian insight
    Pray that your sexual bondage with your previous boyfriend is broken in the name of Jesus, or you will not be able to move on appropriately. Your spirits have joined and has been invaded by the other. It does not mean he is necessarily bad, or you either for that matter, but you have what is even stronger than a soul tie, a spiritual tie, under the cover of sexual intimacy.

  • What do you need him for?
    You need him to love you? Why? Say he tells you that he still loves you and wishes to make love to you again. What do you then? Do you love him truly to give your body to him? Or does some doctrine in your head about cheating arises and therefore that overcomes your reciprocation of love.

    Admit it, you love him up to a point. There's a point where your love stops and that's usually where your two legs meet.

    Love has no barriers. You want the Sun to shine only on you? What about everybody else?

    If you love him return it with the best way a woman can show it to a man: have sex with him. If you don't, your "love" is just an illusion to satisfy your own ego.
