Why did you
break up with your ex-boyfriend in the first place? Do you
have evidence that he has changed? Since you're engaged to
be married to someone else, what did you see in your fiancée
that led you to want to spend the rest of your life with him?
Obviously, there must be something there. (Is it still there?)
Can you honestly
say about either one of these men that there is no one else
you would rather be committed to for life? You need to answer
that question without reservation before committing yourself
to anyone
.
In other words, you are in no position to be marrying your fiancée
if you're confused about your ex-boyfriend. You need to be really
sure before you get married, because marriage is for life.
So, maybe the best thing to do is to take time away from both
relationships and make sure you have completely dealt with any
unresolved issues and emotions from your former relationship,
and then think long-term.
Keep in mind
also that when your ex-boyfriend started calling you, it probably
dug up some feelings from the past. It is easy to reminisce,
to think about the good times that you shared, and to romanticize
the relationship while forgetting the problems or factors
that led you to break up. I would recommend cutting off all
contact with him for now so that you can think clearly. Sometimes
those feelings come back temporarily, but they don't last,
so give it some time.
On the flip
side, when your ex-boyfriend discovered that you are engaged
to someone else, it may have dug up his old feelings or romanticized
images of your good times together. It is human nature to
want something more when you can't have it, so perhaps his
revived feelings are merely a result of jealousy or a sense
of loss over seeing you with someone else. Be very careful;
a rebound relationship like this usually doesn't last, and
he may not even realize his own intentions!
