Am I just scared of getting hurt again?

Tagged as: Breaking up, The ex-factor<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (8 June 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 9 June 2010)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

So, my ex and I had a lot of problems for two months, which ended in me trying to end things because he wouldn't support me and because he lived sixteen hours away from me and couldn't find the time to spend the one weekend a month we had promised eachother. However, he wouldn't let me end things, making excuses, and then never following through with the promises he had made me.

So, I immaturely cheated on him, as that was the only way I knew I could get him to leave me alone.

I knew that this wasn't going to be an easy relationship to end, because I really, really loved him, and initially I had a really hard time with it.

A lot of time has passed since this happened, and I haven't been with anyone since, as the whole ordeal was a bit jading. However, this week a guy who I have been spending a lot of time on the phone with, texting, etc wants to officially start a relationship - and I really enjoy his company and think we would work well together.

So then why, all of a sudden, am I feeling heartbroken again over my ex? It feels like we just broke up yesterday again, when I know I'm not interested in being with him at all. Am I just scared of getting hurt again?

cecebaby agony auntI say yes your afraid to get hurt but you deserve to move on all the way forget about that jerk and find new love. If this guy hurts you then move on agian you only get your heart broke to find the one . I know that doesnt make any since but trust me its a lonley hill you have to go down to find mr right but in the end all those heart brakes will be worth it when you find him

petina1 agony auntGetting together with someone can be very emotional so maybe you are feeling this, remembering how it used to be and wondering if you will feel that again. Long distance relationships are very hard and usually the tie is ' absence makes the heart grow fonder'. But you should concentrate on getting to know the new guy and enjoy yourself. Plenty more fish in the sea, you are young. Hope this helps.
