I want a serious relationship, but I'm torn between two rela


Question Posted Friday June 22 2007, 2:01 am

I am a 20 year-old woman with a serious decision to make; I must decide whether to stay with my boyfriend of 2 1/2 years (A) or accept a proposal from a recent ex (B). (I'm a college graduate while both A and B are finishing their degrees.) A and I were together for a year and a half when he became commitment-phobic and decided he didn't want a relationship anymore. I (shamefully) chased after him all summer before giving up. (We remained friends). Then I met B; we dated for 3 months, but also had some issues. During this time A developed interest in a relationship. A and I decided to try again. (I remained close friends with B). I love both men very much. A is a very reliable and possibly my best friend, but he refuses to commit to a marriage-bound relationship. B is very sweet and would do anything for me. He has decided that he cannot live without me and wants to become engaged (which is ultimately what I want). I could see myself being happily married to either of these men (in 2-5 years). Should I be patient with A or leave him and accept the proposal from B?

Since you are so unsure, with good reasons, I wouldn't jump into anything right now with B.

Why this sudden change of heart? Is he on the rebound from another relationship? If so a great
big wait.

Getting engaged isn't something you
just decide to do with an ex one day. Get some
answers. Is he just trying to break up your relationship with A?

I don't mean to sound discouraging, but this guy has broke your heart once already. Sure he could have changed, but why?

You can't decide for a reason. Trust your instincts. Wait until the answer becomes crystal clear. Be patient and wait for it. Get some of those answers. :)
