While this certainly is an option for you, it would be wise of you to spend some time pondering if bringing him close to you once again actually benefits you.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Karma is an exceptionally powerful force, especially in our chosen and inflicted relationships. However, do not underestimate that one of the reasons your ex and you found each other in this life was because of existing karma brought forward from lifetimes past. If you choose to realign yourself romantically with your ex because you feel it is your karmic obligation, you could be making a mistake. Karma is more than cause and effect\u2014it&#8217;s validity.<\/p>\n<p>You present as having some deeply conflicting feelings when it comes to your ex. Take the time you need to sort through these feeling before you inform him of your decision of what place he has in your life. You can, and in time, you will forgive him. This will restore a higher level of balance between the two of you, whether or not he fully understands and appreciates the esoteric and karmic significance. However, your decision to be with him or not to be with him is a much larger issue.
