Very, VERY complicated situation....(Or seemingly complicated, anyways)
Question Posted Saturday September 26 2009, 7:05 pm
Hookay...so I met somebody online several months ago, and I've developed very strong feelings for him (I know, I know, I've never met him in person, and it may sound strange) but anyways...on the site we hang out on, there's this girl who keeps flirting with him, and I'm feeling extremely jealous (not in a spiteful way) and the thing is, this girl already has a boyfriend (which the guy I like most likely knows, since her relationship status says so), so that part is really pissing me off...and I think he may actually be responding to the flirting by the comments he gives her...so yeah, am I just being paranoid? Is this normal? Kinda' caught in a whirlwind of confusion and jealousy...

One, you can wait around and see how this plays out, in case he decides to dump this other girl, or she decides to dump him. But in case he doesn't, what happens to you? You end up getting hurt.
My question to you is, why are you allowing yourself to be treated this way? Do you think you can't do any better than this? In what universe is it okay for you to sit on a back burner and play second fiddle to this online flirter?
A second option available to you is to pull back from this for a few days and use the time to make you feel good about you again. Because you have the right to do that. At the very least it will give you some perspective on whether or not you want to wait for him to decide if you're the one for him, or if you deserve better. (And I think you do)
