So ever since I admitted on another thread that I am still in love with my ex, I think that was the first time I'd actually admitted it to myself formally, previously I'd just kinda accepted it as a part of life. And I think the glass ceiling has shattered and all of a sudden I can't stop thinking of her in the "in love" way rather than the friendship we've been maintaining for the past years. We've not been in a relationship for about 2 years, but we never really had any non-contact. There have been the odd few weeks we've gone without talking to each other, but really we've talked almost every day.

 

I know she's dating someone (and I'm dating someone too). She's also a really long way away, so we only text and Skype. But now every time I see my ex online I no longer ignore the fact that she's online most of the day talking to her bf, and I no longer just message her about general life, TV shows and pics from the internet. In fact, since I admitted to myself that I'm still in love with her, I haven't been able to find a way to talk to her because I'm pretty sure I'm gonna end up saying something really dumb and alienating her as a friend. Bear in mind, I'm not disillusioned to the fact that she's happy with someone else, and I'm not going to make a move on her or anything.

 

I've known my ex for a very long time now, and we've maintained a good friendship for years. But I'm clearly caught up in her, so I don't trust myself in being objective as to what I should do next.

 

Anyone who has been through a similar situation - or anyone who could give me some sound advice on where I go from here, I would be grateful.

You don't need any advice, except to follow your own. She's happy with someone else and you are with someone. It would be completely selfish and disrespectful for you to express your love for your ex. You know the phrase "If you love something, let it go." Let go and move on.
