Why does he keep showing up when I'm dating a new guy, and get my hopes up?

A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Me and my ex were together for near 2 years, we broke up about 8 months ago.. Because well, he changed basically.. He wasn't like the guy i fell in love with.

I still love him and think i always will, but everytime i get into a new relationship, or he finds out i'm seeing somebody new, he starts speaking to me again, asking me to meet up with him, asking me to kiss him, saying how much he wants to sleep with me, and in the past i've fell for it because i love him so much and hope he means it and will stick around and we could be together, but he tells other people were just friends and he would never get back with me. i've never been able to get over him completely, i don't understand why he would want to do this to me all the time and not let me move on.

But he doesn't stick around for long, i fall for him and break up with the lad i'm with and then my ex disappears, it's like it's what he wants, yet when we're together it doesn't feel right calling it friends, and i hope with everything i have we could just get back together this time because there is a spark between us.

I can't keep letting him do this to me all my life.. But i've tried and it seems to just happen over and over again :/ it's happening right now, for the fourth time.

What do i do?

Oh this guy is REALLY playing you. He knows that he can hurt you and is getting a kick out of it. He doens't care for you AT ALL, and once you understand that, you'll be able to move on. Let this immature loser run around, while you cease contact and stick with a good guy.

Your tag line says it all. He's stringing you along! He wants you when he can't have you. Best thing you can do is cut him out of your life. Leaving a perfectly decent guy because your ex is calling isnt fair. You're being mean to the poor lads you date. They think they have a chance with you. They may even actually like you. And if you're not over your ex you shouldn't date them at all!

Your ex is stringing you along girl. Realize it. He doesnt want you, he just wants what he can not get.

Answer: Stop letting him play you.

Have some discipline and self-respect. Next time he tries, remind yourself he is the type of guy who keeps leaving you hurt. Is that the kind of boy you want to be involved with, even if he DID mean it next time?

Remember the old saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice {three and four times}, shame on me." Well it applies here.

You can stop him from hurting you. You just haven't.
