Jami answered Thursday November 13 2008, 1:11 pm: You should speak to your kind of ex about how you honestly feel and hope that he is as mature as you are. I know exactly how you feel because I have also made a decision to leave someone and ended up having interest in someone else. It is difficult to get someone to understand that your choice is a personal one based on the fact they they ( your ex) just aren't right for you. It doesn't matter who you decide to see afterwards, they are just not your choice. You obviously care about him and don't want him to be hurt, so it is never about the other guy. All you can really do is try to get him to understand how you feel and why you chose not to be with him. Anyone you want to date is no longer his concern. Let him know that he will not gain any points by lashing out in violence towards the other guy. If he can't accept it, that will be his problem. Don't allow that or your happiness make you feel guilty or backslide from the decision you have made. Don't make it your problem because he will use it to try and manipulate you if he can. Guys that don't do right sometimes don't know to handle losing. You did your part by giving him another chance. If he didn't make good on the opportunity, it's his loss, his hurt feelings, and his problem. Don't worry about it. Enjoy your life, have fun and enjoy whoever you want to date. ; ) [ Jami's advice column | Ask Jami A Question ]
