I need some help on makeing a decision that I need to make. I am falling in love with my old high school sweetheart agian. I do not know how to tell him. We dated in High School for years and I ended up leaveing for a year and when I came back he had left for the army. Well he is back now and we reunited agian. I was so happy when he came back into my life agian. He is happy but the both of us are afraid of hurting each other if we move to the next step because the both of us have been hurt really bad in the past. I want to tell him that I love him agian and I want to tell him that I do not want to lose him agian. I have told him all of this but I do not think he understands on how much I do love him agian. Can anyone help me.

Those who know me know that I believe in folowing your heart. The thing you have to take into consideration is if this guy is in a relationship and if he feels the same about you. If you know for shure that he feels the same about you then you should go for it. The thing to take into consideration is whether or not he is married and if that is a healthy marriage or a not healthy marriage. If it is not a healthy marriage and he wants to leave his current wife then you should wait till he leaves her that way there are no accuisations that you stole him from her. I hope all works out they way you want them to.

Well, I think that your ex-boyfriend is hesitant for some reasons.. Like, he isn't ready for any relationships yet.. Or just like you said, you both don't wanna hurt each other again.. He doesnt wanna hurt you, the same thing as he doesnt want you to hurt him again. But you can't really force him so that you can both rekindle your past relationship. Like you said, he already knows that you love him.. Just give him some breathing space.. some time to think over things. There is a possibility though that maybe your ex doesnt feel the same way as before.. But since you can't really do much, I suggest that you'll just spend more time with him.. Start fresh, start something new. When the right time comes, he'll decide and do what he think is right.. what he wants, whatever.. Just be patient. :) love waits.

If you had feelings for this man in the past it is obvious that they have rekindled and become a bonfire. You should both sit down and be honest about your feelings about each other. Best of luck to you both.

Life is way too short to hold back. If he is in the Army...even more so. I went through much the same thing. I was married to my first husband, we divorced, I remarried a different man, then divorced and my first husband and I started talking again. I found out quickly that I was still in love with him and he was with me. We were afraid of hurting each other again and we took our time. I regret that to some extent. He is leaving for deployment again and we didn't have much time to spend together. We are now remarried a very short time ago. Do not let your fear hold you back. Tell him, reinforce the fact that you love him and want to be with him and don't want to lose him again. Make him understand somehow. But definitely tell him. Like I said, life is too short for and time passes quickly. Seize the moment. Our soldiers are called away on deployment seems like at a moments notice. I would hate for you to wait and not have the chance to tell him how you feel. I know how that is and it doesn't feel very good with the worry on top of worry. Take care and I hope you get your man!

I think that your should go for it and good luck to you as the saying goes "it is better to have loved and lost love then never to have loved at all". If you think about it seriously what have you got to lose, alot less then you could gain i'l bet. Don't waste time thinking about the ifs and buts concentrate on the now and the reality of your feelings. You obviously have some great me4mories and could make more of the same. Good luck

If he knows how you feel for real he will either be by your side or you will live without him. I hope it works out for you I do but if not remember you can love anyone but that does not mean they will feel the same way.

I think all you need is time. It doesn't hurt to wait. It's better to wait a little while. See if your partner is ready for the next step because you might want to proceed and yet he is not ready so your relationship might fail. So take things one at a time. Go to dates and get to know each other more so as to strengthen your relationship in order to face all the trials that it might bring.
