How can i tell an ex I still love them?

Question

I split from my boyfriend 5 years ago and I left in search of "greener grass" I found some but it turned "black" after a while, I have always regretted leaving and he knows that. I get so depressed thinking about how nasty I had been to him and I dream about him constantly. Should I let him know how I feel

Answer 1

I think that you should let your ex know how you feel. I'm dealing with the same problem and I've found out that it's better to let your ex know how you feel and see if you can have a second chance. It's better that you as him then let yourself feel down in the dumps knowing that you still love him and not knowing if he loves you back!! So I really think that you should tell him how you feel and just talk to him about seeing if you could get back with him.

Answer 2

You should always let someone know how you fell about them, it's how you do it that's the problem.

You are however 50% of the way there if he knows you regret leaving him...... Ask round for a friendly (catch up) coffee, then see how the land lays, talk about your BLACK grass relationship, and suggest that it didn't work out, partly because he was always in your heart, and you couldn't be with someone else when you love another, and that other is YOU.!!!!

Watch his reaction and go from there ( but always be prepared for the worst ) just an emotional safety net that's all babe.

Good luck ( I've been there ) it worked for me. x x x

Answer 3

I think you need to cut your losses and start all over with a clean slate. I read some of your other questions and it appears you have a lot of drama going on in your life right now. Try focusing on yourself and your son. When you are happy with your own life and feel secure & happy with who you are, then you will be able to share a stable relationship with a man. Hopefully, someone who is mature, caring and will appreciate you and your son. You don't NEED others to complete you... and you definitely don't need your ex! That's just old problems coming back. Your obssesing over him because he is familiar, like a security blanket, and you just lost someone which makes you feel lonely & needy. Be strong and patient... time heals all wounds!

Answer 4

Yeah you should tell him, But make sure it's what you want like you said the grass is always greener.

Answer 5

Huh! you and about 5 million other women.
Sounds you've f*cked up big time. I'd leave the poor guy alone as he sounds better off without you.
And I doubt if he'd want a shallow, selfish, 'I'm worth more' type of person.

P.S.
Did he win the lottery?

Answer 6

If you wanna keep your dignity DON'T.. lol
No seriously, tell him once if you want, that you care about him and you liked spending time with him, and he can always come to you .. but don't go like a little lonely hopeless girl begging him to take you back
and the best way to stop loving him, is loving someone else, works better if this one is hot

Answer 7

Yes you should tell him. If he already knows that you regret leaving him then it might be safe to assume he knows you still have feelings for him. If after five years you still know you made a mistake then he must really be worth it!!

Answer 8

you say he knows you regretted leaving so tell him the rest of what you feel. at least you tried and he can let you know how he feels. I don't think I'd expect a whole lot.

but if you don't ask, the answers always "No".

Answer 9

You should definitely tell him. But be honest with him. Let him know that you know you made a mistake and that you've tried other things and that it only made you more sure that he's the one you wanna/need to be with. He will appreciate your honesty and chances are, if it is meant to be, he feels the same way.

Answer 10

Well it all depends if he is single, if he isn't tell him first how sorry you are that you hurt him and that you would love another chance to show how much you really care about him if he says no then the best thing to do is to move on
