Ex-Girlfriend Now Wants Him Back


Question Posted Monday April 18 2005, 2:31 pm

I met a wonderful man one month ago. We were dating happily for 2 weeks when all of a sudden his ex-girlfriend now wants him back. They have 2 children together. He is now not sure what to do, he doesn't think she will ever commit, but he thinks he needs to try for the kids. He phones me every night and at the moment we are just friends. Do you think I stand a chance at keeping this man, and any advice on how I can keep him. Do you think I should be bold and tell him that I want him and that I would be the best thing for him ? He does really like me.

Since he and the ex have children together, she will always be in the picture. I would remain friends until HE knows for certain that it is over with her. If you do you're just asking to get hurt.Until he makes that desicion for himself I wouldn't say anything. If he decides to steer clear of her, then go ahead and let your feeling be known. :)

Well, he shouldn't let an ex hold him back. Tell your boyfriend or "friend" that he has a responsability towards his children, but not his now ex-girlfriend. If she is not going to commit, it is not fair that he should. Try to get to know his ex and ask him to bring the children by every once in a while, spending some quality time with them. He should think about paying social security to his ex and the kids, to help support them. Tell him how you feel!!!

Honestly, if you have been only going out for 2 weeks, I'd break it off before you get more attached. He has a lot of issues he has to deal with between his children and their mother. Until he figures things out, he is never going to be able to make a commitment to you. You can't tell him that you are the best thing for him because you don't know that. His children are his first priority, don't try to sway him otherwise.

Just give it time. He will work out things on his own. I kno that the only reason that he is trying is becuz of this kids. i dont think that he wants to be with her. he wants to be with you. in time he will come back to you when he gets things straightened out.

hope i helped dudett

you should tlak to him and ask him what he wants to do. it sounds like its up to him not you. if you really care about him you will respect him for what ever desicion he makes. and stay friends with him if he chooses his ex. and who knows maybe it wonlt work out between them and hell relise he still has feelings for you. if its ment to be it will be.
hope i could help.
