Question Posted Thursday February 14 2008, 6:04 pm
Omgosh. I am completely 200% in love with my ex. I dated him for 5 years on and off...more on than off. We're off now and he is flirting and he likes my best friend. He has done this two me once before. It hurts me so bad. I cry all the time and now it's getting worse. My best friend asked me about it and I said I did not care if she dated him because I would hate it if someone told me I couldn't date someone because of their past relationships. It would break my heart. I don't know what to do. This is such a low point for me.

As for the on again, off again boyfriend, I would try to get past it. You might be together in the future, you might not. Right now you aren't, so I think you should try to occupy your mind with something else. Put yourself into your school work or work, a hobby, anything else. It won't make it go away, but hopefully it will make it slightly less painful. [ storageanddisposal's advice column | Ask storageanddisposal A Question ]

I know you are all in love with him, but a guy isn't worth impacting a friendship.
