lmao1989 agony auntYou will probably have feelings still for your ex because you guys had something special before he moved away. Maybe you're both feeling like this because he's moved away so you both feel you cannot see each other. Maybe you won't i'm unsure as to how far away he has moved.

But you should never feel that because your current boyfriend has given you so much that you can't break up with them, you should never stay with someone just because of something like that you should only stay with them because you want too not because you feel obliged too.

You're 13-15 you got a whole world ahead of you and this guy you are with right now maybe the one for you he may not be your ex could be the one for you but again he may not be.

If you feel too strongly for your ex then i think you should end it with this guy regardless of how well he's treated you because it is only fair on him.

If you and your ex still love each other a lot and are able to do a long distance then go for it but make sure you are making the right choice.

Best of lucky sweety :)

There's an important fact I think you're missing here.

You said your ex moved further away from you, hence you decided to break up for the best. So I'm guessing your ex is more than just a 20 minute bus ride away from you?

If that's the case, I would imagine between the ages 13-15 it would be quite difficult for you to maintain a relationship over a longer distance than that mentioned above.

If you don't have strong enough feelings for your current boyfriend to want to stay with him deep down, then I don't think it would be wise to stay with him and waste both your times on something that just isn't going to amount to anything solid.

However, I don't think you should base this decision on your feelings for your ex, because unless your ex's family move closer to you, or your family moves closer to him, I don't see how you and him can give things another realistic shot at a relationship...

But that's my opinion.

janniepeg agony auntHaving feelings for each other but not seeing at all will make it hard to maintain the relationship. You don't know his future. You are young so you can't be dating for that long. You are not waiting for your ex to get a good career in order to move back to your city. Your decision to make a new boyfriend means you are done with your ex. Your love is new so you are still trying to compare the two boys. When you have history with someone you will find it hard to let go. You don't have to break up with your current boyfriend. With time you will see if this current boyfriend is the one for you. He may not be, but you could only find out if you try to devote yourself to him.
