Can anyone interpret a dream where im at the alter between my husband & exboyfriend/first true love?
Can anyone help interpret a recurring dream? Im standing at the alter between my husband of 8 yrs who I love very much. We have 3 kids together. And the is my exboyfriend/ first true love/ best friend since jr high. I was ready to settle down but he wasnt. I decided I was going to start fresh somewhere else with my daughter. I told him if he wanted to be a family I would stay. He told me "I love you, goodbye" with a tear in him eye. After a long hug, I walked away without looking back.i still have a hole in my heart from my ex. I have heard that hes married with children but not happy.
You can look up your dreams online. Dream moods is a good website. I looked up some terms for you (i also posted the link)
Altar
To see the altar in your dream suggests that you are making a great personal sacrifice. You may also be expressing concerns about your spirituality.�The dream may also be a pun on your need to "alter" some behavior, attitude or aspect of your life. http://dreammoods.com/cgibin/dreamdicti … arch=altar
Ex Boyfriend
To see an old ex-boyfriend from childhood in your dream refers to a freer, less encumbered relationship. The dream serves to bring you back to a time where the responsibilities of adulthood (or marriage) did not interfere with the spontaneity of romance. You need to recapture the excitement, freedom, and vitality of youth that is lacking in your present relationship. If your ex-boyfriend hurts or ignores you, then the dream is telling you to move on with your life and stop thinking about your ex. To dream that you are kidnapped by your ex-boyfriend suggests that your ex still has some sort of emotional hold on you. If you dream that you want your ex-boyfriend back, then the dream may reflect waking feelings of actually wanting him back. Alternatively, it means that you miss being in a relationship and to feel wanted.

Husband
To see your husband in your dream signifies the waking relationship with your husband and the subconscious feelings you have towards him. The dream may be trying to focus on hidden elements that you are not addressing in your waking life.

Hope this helps!!!!
In my opinion you dream is about exposing the fact that you wish you could have both men in your life. As you noted: "I still have a hole in my heart from my ex." You never completely moved on emotionally.
The only reason you are married to your husband is because the man described as being; "my first true love/ best friend since Jr high." wasn't ready to settle down. You married your husband because you couldn't have the man you wanted.
The fact that you mentioned he is married with children and "unhappy" suggest there is a part of you that welcomes that news.
Over the years you have romanticized the past and continue to wear rose tinted glasses. "I told him if he wanted to be a family I would stay. He told me "I love you, goodbye" with a tear in him eye. After a long hug, I walked away without looking back."
You continued to see him as your "soul-mate".
However if you put things in black and white what really happened is he (rejected) the idea of spending the rest of his life with you! Ultimately he was not against getting married because he did choose to marry another woman. He rejected the idea of marrying you.
In order for your ex to be "the one" he would have to see you as being "the one". At the very least a "soul-mate" is someone who actually (wants to be with) you!
Your dream is reflecting the fact that you have not let go of your ex on a deep level and romantically you imagine an ideal scenario where you could have your loving husband and your "true love" forever.
It was a member of his family that mentioned he's unhappy. I am very happy with my husband and kids. I havent had any contact with my ex since i left. I do wish he could be happy no matter who he's with. This is why the dream is confusing to me.

Do you get angry if your boyfriend/spouse looks at other women?Assuming he doesn't do it in front of you, is looking harmless? Would you want him to be honest about it if he does or keep it to himself?
