Question - (4 March 2013) 1 Answers - (Newest, 4 March 2013)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

It's like every guy I let into my life hurt me. The very first guy I ever dated kept going back and forth between me and his ex. It was like me and him dated for two years then he met her but we never quit talking.

Then, after seven years I was tired but still cared for him but wasn't in love with him. One day, he told me in front of the girl that me and him has never went together and we never will.

I was hurt but I got over it. Well about a month or two later he approached me but I wasn't trying to pay him no mind because I was in a relationship at the time and I'm faithful to whats mines. He was begging me back but I left him there. He still calls me and tries but I let him go. Then the guy I was with at the time couldn't handle the things I go through at home and we stayed arguing and we broke up. I'm thinking it's just a break then I find out hes messing with my best friend. I was hurt yet again!

Then I met a sweet guy. We became friends and knew each other for a good 3 to 4 months. Well, one night we kind of had a one night stand but it wasn't like that because I wasn't ready to lose my virginity. After that I never heard from him again. After that I ran into one of my ex the only one I really did love ! My heart stopped and all the memories we ever had came back. We had broken up because he was going to another school and I have trust issues. Seeing him again made me happy. We got back close but as friends and turns out we still like each other but because of the past guys who all hurt me I'm afraid of opening up and don't know what to do. Help?

A male reader, dirtball United States +, writes (4 March 2013):

dirtball agony auntExes belong in the past, not the present. When you break up with someone it's best if that's it. FOREVER.

When you break up with someone, you miss them, then their memory becomes cloudy with some romanticized notion of who they really are. You broke up for a reason. That reason will be the same one that will break up up the next time.

Sounds like you've dated a string of losers. Don't worry, that doesn't mean they will all be that way, but that doesn't mean you should try to get back with that ex. Leave him in the past where he belongs.
