Alright. I'm pretty sure I know what I need to do, but reinforcement is always nice.
So I'm in a bit of a complicated situation.
First, theres the ex. We had a terrible breakup. We are still very much in love with each other. We are probably not right for each other. She cheated. I forgave. She moved home (4 hours away) and right now we're talking but thats about it. Ive told her I want to get her back.
Second, theres the future fuckbuddy. Shes gay but openminded. She wants an ongoing relationship with me thats based almost entirely on sex. This is not a problem for me in the least, and fresh out of a harsh breakup (3 months isnt that fresh, but it was almost a 3 year relationship) she seems to be what I need right now. Shes poly and married to another woman. Her wife would know about me, and probably meet me.
Third, theres... I don't know what she is to me. We've been talking for two days. Theres already a ridiculously strong connection between us. The kind of connection that could lead to something very serious down the line.
The third girl is coming over tomorrow. Sex is a possibility. The second girl is coming over thursday. Sex is a certainty.
I'm not sure what I want to do. I don't know if I'm ready to trust someone in a serious relationship, but I think that if I pass up a chance with this girl I might seriously regret it later. But I obviously cant test things out with her and have a fuckbuddy.
I dont know. I don't know if I should take the chance of hurting and getting hurt if I'm not ready to fall in love again, because shes (the third girl)definitely going to if things keep going. It might take a while, but I think we both might be there within a few months.
I just don't know. What would you do, reader? Stick with the fuckbuddy and tell the girl its not a good time? Take a chance on a relationship when I'm still in love with my ex? I know that if I fall for someone else that will not make me fall out of love with my ex, is the thing. I don't work that way. Ive been in love with two women before. Hard to imagine for some...
Additional info, added Tuesday November 27 2007, 10:30 pm: A note.
The fuckbuddy would ruin things with the new girl, but not with the ex. The ex and I are not remaining celibate. She is sleeping with someone else right now, as am I.
My central problem is the fact that my ex and I cannot get back together now. It wouldnt work, it would just end up bad again. She needs to grow up a little. But I don't know... there is a possibility that if in a few years my ex could come and ask for a second chance. I don't think I could deny her that. Regardless of who I was with or where I was or what I was doing.
new girl- if this connectino is REAL she will help you get past the pain,a nd to be more open minded.
why don't you AVIOD sex with this new girl? just start out slow, look int oher eyes, tell her she's beatiful, a kiss on teh forehead toward teh end, trust me.. it'll make it worth it.
