She plans to get married in June but still communicates with her ex and she still has feelings for him. I don't know what to say b/c I have never done that before so I really don't know how she feels or what she's thinking........... Please help on the advice part.....

Well I hope she does have good feelings for her ex. If you go out with someone for a while you must like them a lot or you wouldn't go out with them. However, going out with someone is different from committing yourself to marriage for the rest of your life. I still have very fond feelings for all my girlfriends of 40 years ago.

I completely agree. There are some instances where you will always have feelings for an ex, but that doesn't take away from the love you have for the person you are going to marry. I will always love my ex-boyfriend, but I have moved on and am seeing someone new. It doesn't take away from how I feel for him or how much committment he will have from me.

Maybe she should wait to get married till she's sure she's over the ex. I know there are ppl that still stay friends with their ex's (I never have) but since your saying she still has feelings for him...it just sounds like she's not ready to move on.

Is'nt this ironic! Why are you getting married if you are not sure? Anyone forcing you to get married in June? You will just add a new problem to your life and this is so UNFAIR to your future partner. Think if you were on the other side of fence. Are you mature enough to decide? You are the only one who can make this decision regardless of advices. Try to find your inner self and find out what you really want!

this is bad, once you have a commitment you shouldn't look behind to the past.

Hi Queenperk I suggest you to advice her to make up her mind soon. Its either her ex or her husband to be. She might spoil her marriage life if she goes on in the way she is now. Loyalty ans Sincerity is important and your frind need to realize it before it becomes too late. Thanusha

if she still have feelings for her ex... and those feeling could affect her relationship... then quit, don't get married.. more people could get hurt in the end

this is really being selfish. if she still has feelings and have issues with her ex.. why would she be in a new relationship anyway. she can't have the best of everything she shouldn't have led her fiance into believing a lie about her wanting to marry him. it is about time to let the fiance know and let them sort it out first. marrying someone you dont love is really hard...

She clearly does not know what she wants and does not know how to say what she feels. Talk with her and ask her to go some place where she can be alone and thing things over. Being married is a life long contract and is a realationship with someone you love right? I mean that's what I think... coz the others marry for different reason.. Anyway she has to deal with her feelings with her ex because if she does not.. it will haunt her over and over and can lead to a broken marriage, and what if they already have kids? then it will lead to a broken family... which id not good at all..
