xxmissxx agony auntDo whatever you think is right, you will, however, be taking a huge risk!

But theres risks in anything you do in life.

you only live once so you now have two options,

Option 1: Stay with your current relationship, possibly be unhappy, (im assuming your unhappy as youve met someone else!),kick yourself in 10 years time wishing youd lived a different life.

Option 2: Leave your current relationship, be with someone who you know deep down you want to be with.

you could crash and burn, or you two could live quite happily together!

Best of luck xxxx

i've done the same thing in the past. i left my four year relationship with someone who had left their two year engagment to be with one another. in my experiance, you have automatic trust issues with each other as you both know your capable of cheating. i was constantly worrying about my partner finding someone else the way they found me and one day he did! after living together for a few years, getting engaged and making a home, he threw me out the same way he did his last girl friend. so my advice to you is to think carfully. Can you deal with the trust issues, the worrying, if so then be prepared. i'm not saying what happened to me will happen to you. just be on guard as to what could happen and follow your instincts. good luck.

duce00 agony auntI think hlskitten is right about the greener grass theory. Hopefully the wandering partner can see what many of us believe to be true. The greener pasture is having a stable, trusting, loving relationship. Its really not such a hard choice once you have "been to the circus" as they say.

Best of luck!

sexi agony auntHi

It depends:

You could either do the same thing you have done to the new girl and then end up hurting her as well

Or

You can let her know that you really loved her that is why you chose to be with her instead of the other girl.

Sometime it is for the better and things do work out.I guess it depends on the 2 individuals in the relationship;how determined are they to be together?!?

Good Luck,mail me if you wanna talk

hlskitten agony auntHi

Depends on a lot of things really. What state the relationship was in at the end etc etc etc.

Usually pretty slim though. The grass isnt greener and we all find that out (ok some of us) at some point i think!
