However last year we split up for 3months he split up with me because we kept arguing as i was abit overprotective. i begged and begged him back he told me no every time said he can never get back, even told me he didnt really love me anymore an told me to move on every time i tried. i was so heartbroken. basically after trying for so long i ended up bein stupid,gettin drunk all the time goin out all the time,trying to forget as i was so upset. this however ended up me bein stupid gettin involved with the wrong guys and i ended up sleeping with someone else. i regretted it so much and i was drunk which i know isnt an excuse for my actions but made me go stupid! this happened in like the 3rd month of splitting up. then not long after my boyfriend sed he'd get back with me but if he hears of anythin of me gettin involved with anyone else then he wudnt get bk. i was cryin for weeks wanted to tell him but i couldnt bring myself to it i didnt want to risk losing him again. i know thats so selfish of me to not say but i love him so much i couldnt bare losing him again. so anyway he found out a few weeks ago,and split up with me. we've argued an then seen eachother argued then seen eachother. he doesnt know what to do. says he wants to get back but cant. then at the minute we've been seeing eachother while he thinks about us. we've been actin normal while he decides what to do. still sleeping together now as if we;re together. i really want him back i cant explain to him enough id never cheat its just that i was so upset an lost an stupid, he told me to move on he told me he didnt love me so i didnt think ther was a potential relationship to ruin. what can i do=?

 Break up with this guy once and for all. You can't win with him. He seems really immature and likes to play headgames.

However he has the right to put conditions on who he has a relationship with. And in this case the condition is that you didn't sleep with anyone while the two of you were split up.

Girls test guys all the time. You screwed up. You absolutely had every right to het with another guy. You were single. Even so, you can't expect him to be ok with it. You cant tell him you love him while you were with someone else, that just doesn't compute. We have all been there and it sucks, but the right guy is the one where you really can stand up for yourself and him, and wouldn't have done this. I'm sorry that it's coming back to get you in the end, but what if he had been the o e to sleep around while you were trying to figure things out. I doubt it would be easy to forgive. Take time, be there for him, and show him how much you care rather than say it, if that doesn't work, nothing will.

I can understand he may never be able to deal with it but it is not your fault. If he can't deal with it then you need to break up.

 You're free to date or sleep with whomever you please. You don't have anymore obligations to him. Get drunk to try to drink the pain away, and you go through some flings. I've been there, hell a lot of girls have probably been through that whether they like to admit or not. What he expects you to not be with anyone else when he was the one that told you to move on? I doubt he has refrained from a fling or two himself. Plus, you guys sleeping together minus the relationship is nothing but friends with benefits plus your emotions are still there. Not healthy for you when you need to move on. This guy is changing his mind saying one minute he doesn't love you anymore were never getting back together to I want to get back together but you slept with someone else. He can't set these rules, you're not his property. Buck up, get a clue to what he is saying and doing to you, and proceed to tell him to fuck off. It's your life you can do whatever you please with it, he chose to no longer be a part of it.

 You didn't cheat on him. He broke up with you. He told you he'd "never get back" with you. You were single when you slept with someone else. You never cheated! Who knows what he did while he was away from you.
Bottom line, you were within your rights to be with anyone else. So what if he changed his mind and got back with you afterwards? If he didn't want to see you with someone else, he wouldn't have let you go.
You need to stop groveling to him. You're worth more than to let yourself get wrecked. Pull yourself together, YOU decide what to do, and end it permanently with the guy. You can NOT let someone ever have that kind of emotional power over you. He's playing you like an emotional punching bag right now, and you should get out, mourn for the relationship, and get him out of your system.
