Why after 9 years have I started thinking about my ex?

I am a 28 year old happily married woman. My husband and I have been married now for 6 years and have 4 wonderful children. I love my husband so much but lately my ex has been on my mind. We dated when i was 18 and he was my first love. We had a bad break up and never really spoke to each other after. About 1 1/2 years ago my ex emailed me through myspace saying hi. So I said hi back and told him whats been going on in my life since I left my home state. That was the only time we emailed until about 8 months ago I got curious to see how he was and asked him to add me to his friends list.
We once again emailed each other a couple of times but I felt guilty and told him it wasn't fair to my husband and haven't talked to my ex since.
Now I can't get him out of my mind he's all I think about besides my family. I am starting to realize that part of me still loves him and I am affraid always will. I can't move on from this. Part of me wants to email my ex telling him to get maybe some kind of closure but would that make things worse or better? And I don't want to go behind my husbands back but this isn't something I could tell him and he would understand.
Please help!

Be honest. To yourself, your husband, and your ex. Don't be afraid to seek professional help. If your husband and family are that important to you work things out before it gets too far. Also remember the past is the past. You may still feel something for you ex but that was also a different time and you were a different person. Over time its easy to forget the bad times and focus on the good. If you truly love your husband focus on that. Make things ok. The 7yr ich is real even though its been 9yrs be aware of that.
