Question Posted Saturday December 15 2007, 11:26 am
Ok so I went through your advice column and I think you give pretty good advice.
I went out with this guy Jonathan for 8 months
and 1 week and I can honestly say we love each
other, we broke up on October 13th because my
father hates him (though my dad has only seen
him once and doesn't know a thing about him other
then that Jonathan doesn't do drugs or drink)
We went out behind my father's back and my
brother helped us through out most of our
relationship, but once we got to 7 months
he realized that Jonathan and I were in a
serious relationship and got scared so he
made it harder for us to see each other &
made it so hard that we HAD to break up or
else he'd tell my dad. So fine, we decided
to break up until I turn 18 (next October)
or at least until things calm down with my
dad and brother, fine, I could handle that,
but then 2 days after we broke up he asked
this girl out and they've been going out
ever since, he said it's just a distraction
and so he doesn't feel so heartbroken over
me and that he doubts it'll last long. He
keeps starting stupid fights with her so he
doesn't get so attatched, and she's also a
REALLY shitty girlfriend and acts like she
doesn't care about him all that much so I
don't really like her. The last few times
me and Jonathan hung out we acted like we
were still going out without the physical
intimacy. We're still extremely close friends
and talk to each other every day, I know we
still love each other but I'm worried that
he'll start loving her instead of me, idk
what to do. This whole situation is really
complicated. I'm not sure if I should try to
move on until we're able to date again, move
on completely, or wait for him without going
out with someone else, or if I should try to
convince him that we should be together again
behind my dad and brothers back again. My dad
is REALLY strict so even though it seems really
disrespectful to do that to my dad and brother,
I didn't live with my dad until 3 years ago and
I'd hardly call him my father so it's not that
bad if you knew the situation with my dad and I.
ok I know that that was REALLY long and possibly
really confusing but if you could help that would
be GREAT, thank you so much <3 =]

Teza answered Tuesday December 25 2007, 10:29 pm: I'm sorry that it took me a while to answer your question. Anyways, don't make any decisions without talking to him about it first. It would be wrong of you to go behind your dad's and brothers back and it could only cause more drama which I'm sure you don't want. You need to talk to him about it first. Ask him if his realtionship with that girl is getting serious and if you two could ever be toghether again. If they are serious and if he really does like her, it would be best to move on because you shouldn't wait for someone who has no feelings for you. So, before you do anything, talk to him about everything and see where you stand. [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]
