A female United States age 30-35, *Missing_Him* writes:

I have a serious problem with my ex boyfriend and his current girlfriend. My ex and I broke up about a year ago. We have still continued to talk but lately it's been A LOT more. His present girlfriend seems nice enough and I want him to be happy more than anything in the world, even if it's without me. I love him so very much and i know he loves me too. So what should I do? I under no circumstances want to break up him and his girlfriend, but i want him back...i want us back, he was my first true love and a day hasn't gone by when I don't think of him. Also i do not want to stop contact with him because he is my best friend, i can tell him anything and everything as he can me. I just don't know what to do!!

kellyO agony auntHi,

I agree with the other aunt on this one. I think a little distance would help if you are no longer involved. Also you can let him know how u feel if he says he is still in love with you then they should be no place for the other girl. But if in any chance he has moved on then you have to too. Dont worry things will sort itself out with time.

Laura1318 agony auntYou do not want him to break up with his present g/f but you want him back. How is that possible?

The only way is to tell his present g/f that you will all live under the same roof happily ever after.

Or

You keep doing what you are doing now till they both get fed up of each other and he comes back to you.

Dawnie agony auntWell maybe you could put some distance between you, as this is causing you a lot of distress. Maybe not seeing too much of him and maybe seeing other friends will help.

On the other hand you could get him alone and tell him how YOU really feel and see his reaction. I know you say he loves you too, but is that as a friend or something more? If however, you do decide that you have feelings etc for each other make sure he ends it with this other girl as leading her on would not be good. I hope it all works out for you.

Set him free!!!!

If it was ment to be between the two of you he will return.

You need to stop leaning on him if you genuinely want him to be happy. It is hard to be friends with an ex especially if you want more. Find new friends leave him alone atleats for a month or two and see how you feel after this period.
