Ok, so me and my ex didn't have a really good relationship. I guess you could say I was emotionally/verbally abused. Well, its been 2 months and I'm still in love with him. I can't get over him no matter how much i try. I know i need to get over him, he lied and cheated on me soo much, and i cried so much. I was never happy the whole time we were going out, i even went back to cutting. Anyways, i know i need to get over my ex, and i have another boyfriend. We've only been going out for 3 weeks, and he's already told me he loves me. Well, i don't feel the same. i know it's not fair to my boyfriend to still have feelings for someone else, but why should i not go out with someone that i really like, and like be alone? blah, i don't know what i'm asking. advice?

You cant expect to have a normal relationship again until youve had time to deal w/your past emotions. Its not fair to your new bf, to carry on a relationship if your not feeling the same for him. You need to give yourself more time. Trust me, ive been there. Its gonna take alot more than just 2 months. It will get better i promise, but only if you allow yourself to. First thing is to STOP thinking about your ex so much. Dont talk to him and if you can help it, dont see him. That does help alot. Other than that, time will slowly fade away the memories. You dont want to be w/a guy that emotionally and verbally abuses you, because that will get worse over time! If this guy doesnt show any signs of abuse, maybe you should just give him a chance. Take things slow and see what happens.
Good Luck~~ [ angelfire2708's advice column | Ask angelfire2708 A Question ]

There is no excuse or justification you can give to getting back with him- just don't do it. There are a ton of guys who aren't abusive and will treat you better. You should let your boyfriend know what's going on though. He probably isn't in love with you, but rather, infatuated. It might be best for you to just be alone right now.
