i'm probably posting this on the wrong forum but…
i've been going out with my partner for 4 years and i can only describe the relationship as comfortable. no sex to speak of, but i love her.
There's an old partner of mine got in touch recently. I felt so alive with her. i'd wake up with a smile on my face every day. life was good. We both got into drugs and split because of this. We've both long since given all of them up and we have been chatting online.
i feel awful
my contemporary partner is lovely, but my ex feels like she was 'the one'.
i don't know what to do.
my ex wants us to get back together. but i feel i owe it to my partner of 4 years to stay with her as leaving her would cripple her (emotionally).
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
