Do I help a friend? Or choose my ex and hope that she chooses me also?

Question - (31 October 2012) 1 Answers - (Newest, 31 October 2012)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

my ex girlfriend and i broke up about two weeks ago.

we broke up for a lot of different reasons. we love each other but we are very different people with very different personalities and viewpoints.

we have had talk of getting back together but she's got a lot going on right now between being in school, working, and her mother having cancer, etc. she's asked me if we can just talk with no expectations at the moment. that she's already drowning in too much stress. i told her i could deal with that. but there's a few issues i'm facing.

First, a good friend of mine from out of town is in need of a place to stay to get back on her feet and asked me if she could stay with me. i would love to have her move in with me because i love her to bits, but my ex has serious insecurities with this girl.

it's unfounded because her and i are just friends but i know if i moved her in, she'd be furious and we would absolutely be done. so i'm seriously torn. i don't know if my ex even wants to get back together at this point anyway, or if she's just dragging me along.

She won't put a title back on us, and there's a part of me that would hate to put my life on hold for a relationship that's never going to happen. or do i wait and give it a chance, and tell my friend no? i could really use the extra rent money.

i need some serious advice. just be patient on ex? or move on and let friend come?

So_Very_Confused agony aunthave you considered discussing it with your gf?

telling her exactly what you told us... that you don't want to upset her but you need the money and there is nothing going on between you and your friend?

personally for me when I have a lot going on and I'm stressed I want my guy there for me... even if it's just sitting on the couch...
