I feel like a horrible person because I left my ex for someone else

Question - (19 March 2012) 4 Answers - (Newest, 20 March 2012)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

In October 2011, I ended things with my ex. Hes a college freshman and im a junior in high school. We were together for 2 years and 3 months. I ended it because of a guy I had started to have feelings for during October. In December, about 1 month after I broke it off, I began to date the guy I had feelings for. All until January, my ex kept trying to get back together with me. I had to block his number because I thought that if I stopped texting him it would help him move on. It's march already and the county fair passed which I went too with my current boyfriend. I kept remembering last year when I had gone with my ex and how happy I felt at that moment. Then a few days later I went to this concert with my current boyfriend, and my ex was there. He kept looking at me everytime we were in sight of each other. There was even a time when I passed by him and for the whole time he was looking at me. I don't know how to feel about this but I had to try my hardest not to look back at him. Now, when I'm with my current boyfriend, I picture my ex. What's going on with me? What should I do? I feel like I'm in love with him again but how can I be when I broke it off with him to be with someone else? I feel like a really horrible person for even leaving him for someone else. I don't know what to do.

Just tell him you need to sort out your head, you are confused and want time to be single.Its better to be honest than string him along.

The proms 2 months away,plenty of time for him to find another partner and you if you wanted to.

Anonymous 123 agony auntYou need a break to sort out your feelings because you are just jumping from one guy to another, and its all happening so fast that you yourself are not sure of what you want.

You are playing with the feelings of these guys involved. First you dump your ex then you start dating another guy then you feel you like your ex again! Look OP this isn't a game nor is it that simple and easy to keep breaking up and getting back with people. If you dump the current guy and go back to your ex, tomorrow you would bump into him(the current B/f) and think that you like him again! This cant go on!

You need a break, you need to be alone for a bit to decide what you want. Today you are making and breaking relationships, tomorrow these very guys will dump you and treat you the way you are treating them and that will not be a good feeling.

I think you need a breather from dating so you can come to terms with whatevers going on in your head.

Its not fair to your new partner if your now having doubts,to stay with him.

You jumped out of one long relationship into another. People do get attracted to others when dating, but if you don't act on it,nothing happens. You ended your last relationship, which was what you felt was the right thing to do. And it was definately better than cheating.

Your not a horrible person, just young and a bit confused.
