Long story short, my ex girlfriend and I broke up earlier this year after 5+ years of dating. She broke up with me because I never proposed. I didn’t chase and her and she started dating someone else a few months later.
For the last few months I’ve realized what I’ve lost and deeply regret letting her go. I would happily marry her today.
The good news is she’s now in the process of breaking up with her new bf which appears to be an ugly breakup and emotionally draining on her.
This puts me in a weird spot. I want to tell her how much I love her and how sorry I am and how I want to spend my life with her. However, her ugly breakup has not put her in a good emotional or mental state and afraid that could affect her reaction to me opening my heart to her. On the other hand, I’m afraid she could possibly smooth things over with her new bf and I may never have another opportunity. I love her and my heart aches. I hate myself for not marrying her years ago. Ive been miserable without her. What should I do??
Tldr How do I tell my ex gf that I still love her and want to be with her while she’s in the middle of a rough breakup with a new guy?
