My ex and I broke up about 5 months ago. Right after we broke up I left for 2 months for my job. When I came back we started hooking up again and I was fine with everything for the time being.

He does a lot of drugs and parties all the time, which is fine because everyone should be able to live their life the way they want to. I just worry about him because he's really upset deep down inside about his life and I'm worried he's going to die from all of this one day.

Last weekend he told me he loved me and he regretted breaking up with me. Then out of nowhere he said he was having a hard time choosing between me and another girl. I was really hurt but went home with anyways(bad move, yes I realize).

When I was at his house I found a letter his ex from 2 years ago had given him when they broke up and she stood up to him and etc. I realized then that if she could do that, so could I.

So I sent him a msg saying it wasn't fair for me to wait around for him until he wants to be in a relationship and I deserve to be with someone who knows they want to be with me. Not someone who is confused about what girl they want.

Did I do the right thing? I just second guess myself thinking I should have stuck around and not told him goodbye. And we're in the same friend circle so I always have to see him and it's going to be hard. So let me know if I did the right thing and how to deal when your ex is in your friend circle. Thanks :)

Moo's Mum agony auntYes you did the right thing as he is jerking you around. When your ex is in your circle of friends you remain polite to him but only speak to him when necessary. Don't seek him out or try to be close mates with him.
