Am I a horrible person?

I was with a guy for two years, and honestly I don't remember why I ever called things off with him. Our relationship was amazing and I was ridiculously happy with him. But some things happened at home and I did break up with him, encouraged by a cousin that I have no idea why I listened to her. So, fast forward. I meet another amazing man, considerably older than I am, but I love him. We've been perpetually engaged now for three years. But, I have never stopped dreaming about my ex. Constantly. I moved back to my hometown with my fiance and saw him in passing at a store. He was with a few old friends that I remember and I kept trying to look for him in the store without my fiance realizing it. I texted him once a long time ago, and he told me he wished we wouldn't. I accidentally found his FB page on my People You May Know and clicked on it. I can't believe it's been over three years since we broke up. I have not stopped dreaming about him or loving him. I think of him constantly and since finding his FB, I'm obsessed despite him being a very private person and not having any pictures. I found one that a new friend of his posted. I think they're tubing or something. He grew a mustache. It suits him. He's going into the navy the way he always wanted. I sent him a friend request before realizing that the last post of any kind is a year and a half ago. But I can't get him out of my head, thinking that I don't know if I could ever love my fiance the way I still love my ex.

You're not horrible but you need to figure out what you want. If your ex doesn't want to get back together that simplifies things and you get to focus on whether or not you want to marry your fiancé. If you don't think you'll be happy with him, don't waste his time. But be honest with yourself, so you don't do anything you'll regret with him. We don't always get "do-overs" in this life. Sometimes you make a decision, you're stuck with it.
