Question - (13 March 2007) 3 Answers - (Newest, 13 March 2007)
A female Australia age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I am recently dating a great guy that really likes me. I was head over heels in love with my ex last year and the only reason why we are still not together is because he left high school and went to get an apprenticeship so we drifted apart. I hadnt seen my ex for at least 2 months and was finally getting over him, i had a great bf and everything was looking fine. Until today when i saw my ex our eyes met and i felt like running away becuase it was too painful to still love him. He saw my bf kiss me on the cheek and i know that it hurt him, I have a great bf but i know that i still love my ex, help please....(keep in mind the reason why we broke up was because we barely saw each other) thankyou.

There is no point trying to get things together with your ex if he will still be going away/busy with his apprentiship. You need to think, who will be there for you when you need them. Or, who do you really love. I think time will tell, but the hardest thing about these situations is you never know how you feel about someone untill youve lost them. Me and my boyfriend went through some rough patchs before i realised how much i loved him. How do you think you would feel if you broke it off with your current boyfriend. I personally would go forward into the future not back into the past. XXX feel free to message me if you want to talk more.

Although the circumstances were different, I was basically in a similar boat with you. I am completely head over heels with my current boyfriend ( we have been together for about 8-9 months now.) Starting about 2 months ago, my ex started being around more. It was hard to see him because I still had such strong feelings for him. I would think about him more than my current boyfriend even though my boyfriend now is so deserving of my love and affection.

Basically, I came to realize that the problems that I had my ex would not just go away easily. The reason why I broke up with him in the first place would always be there. I also asked myself If I was willing to leave my current boyfriend and hurt him for my exboyfriend. I just couldnt. My boyfriend has been there for me too much for me to do that. Even until now, I still can not stop thinking about my exbf but that feeling will always be there for a long time because you can not forget about all the memories that you had together.

So, you should ask yourself,are you willing to leave your boyfriend right now for your ex.

Also, do you really believe that things will be okay once you are with your ex again or will the reason why you broke up in the first place always be an obstacle that you two will face.

*For me, I chose my current boyfriend and Im very happy with that decision. I learned to forget about my ex the more I create memories with my current boyfriend. In all honesty, there is no looking back for me now.

I have faith that you can make the right decision as well. I hope this helps.
