My ex recently came back into my life, and she was my first and only true love. We have been spending a lot of time together as well. She has a boyfriend of 4 years and he is the complete opposite of me. He doesn't treat her like she should be treated all the time. Yesterday she decided that he was the better choice. He doesn't go to school, he doesn't have a job, and he has no plan to do any of these things. Am I wrong in saying that I am the better choice??

so the only thing you can do is move on even though it is hard you need to make yourself happy.

I'm no way saying you're a bad person, you seem pretty cool. I'm just trying to give you another perspective. Think about this. She's been with him for 4 years. Obviously, there's something there that you might not see. I couldn't say what that is exactly, you may just need to talk to her about it. But whatever you do, don't pressure her in any way, shape, or form. Simply be there for her if she needs you. Eventually, she might realize that you are the better person for her, but until then, just enjoy being her friend. :] [ cOws_in_yOur_tuba's advice column | Ask cOws_in_yOur_tuba A Question ]

Go ahead and live happily knowing that you are a better man and could have made her happier. There is nothing wrong with that. Just don't be the rainy day man, the one she uses for support and then abondons, each time she has troubles with her bad boy.
karenR answered Thursday January 10 2008, 3:55 pm: No you're certainly not wrong. The thing is
she has been dating him for 4 years and
obviously has strong feelings for him. Some
ladies have a knack for choosing the wrong guy.
Unfortunately there isn't a lot you can do to
make her see it. Also consider you, as a friend
are only going to hear the worst about the guy
when she wants a shoulder. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
