How can I get myself unconfused ?

I’ve done something so horrible.  

I’m so in love with someone, my first true love.  I never got over him, only moved on.  I’m married with 2 kids to a wonderful man.  I love him dearly but in a different way.  

After 23 years, my old love contacted me.  We talked but that’s it.  

I still really do love him.  

I feel so guilty for my husband.  

I’m not going to talk to him again because I can’t live like this.  I’m being so disrespectful to my husband.  

I really don’t know what’s going on in the others life to make him reach out after all these years but I’m not over him either.  He’s also still married to the woman he left me for.

    Let him and this whole waste of "What ifs" go. 

    You have been hurting yourself (and probably your marriage) by hanging onto this unreal dream of who he is and how it might have been with him. It didn't work out because you were not the right woman for him, just as he wasn't the right man for you. He cheated and then left you - that should have been proof enough it was not meant to be. No more communicating unless you want to hurt each other, and the respective spouses. 

    Get some counseling.

    I agree that you don't sound confused at all. So you talked to an old love, nothing to feel so "horrible" or "guilty" about, unless you continue and pick up where you left off. That would indeed be horrible, unless you have already decided and acted upon ending your marriage. Things and people do change over many years. Perhaps you are still in love with the person you remember him to be...but this could be a far throw from whom either of you are, today, now.

    Why do you consider yourself confused? What's the nature of your confusion? You don't sound confused, you just sound like you never got over your first love and never had any closure. That's not confusing, it's just unfortunate.
