What can I do to help myself get over an unforgotten loved ex, and move on with a new one, without feeling like I'm just with the new person to make the other one jealous, or hurt? My ex treats me like crap no doubt about it, thats gotten so bad that him and I can't even remain friends, but getting with this new person that I've known for a long time, practically 5 years will be very strange because I've known the person for so long. People are telling me to follow my heart, but my heart is leading me wrong. What can I do to help this matter?

Daisy answered Wednesday April 27 2005, 9:21 am: I had a really bad break up with my last boyfriend. He hit me and said if I ever broke up with him then he would make my life hell. I broke up with him and he made my life hell. I started seeing this other guy six weeks later. Do you want to go out with this guy because you like him as more than a friend or just to make your ex jealous? If it's just to make your ex jealous then don't do it because you will be playing with his feelings. If this guy makes you feel special, looks after you etc then its just what you want. He will make you feel secure, wanted, and help you regain the self-esteem you will have lost by going out with your ex. By being with him it is also more than likely that he will help you get over your ex quicker. If you get confronted by your ex, however mean he is to you , you have to keep a brave face and tell him that you are happier than you have been in ages, nothing he can say or do can hurt you anymore, so tell him to get over you and go and find another girlfriend. you are worth so much more than this so as soon as you get him out of your mind and your life, the better. Good luck and I hope you find happiness with this new guy [ Daisy's advice column | Ask Daisy A Question ]

And do thinks you would normaly do with your boyfriend maybe your heart will come around. [ XxXBoYcRaZyXxX's advice column | Ask XxXBoYcRaZyXxX A Question ]

(i should know.) but you're going to have to move on girl! think of the reasons you liked him, was he nice, or cute, or funny? now think of how he is now. a complete jerk! when you think about it, you're in love with a completely different person! move on to the next guy, he'll treat you right, and you'll realise how stupid you were to cry a single tear. it'll help you move on, while getting you into a new, better relationship. hope this helps!
