So, me and my ex boyfriend dated for about 10 months. He was a really sweet guy except that he lied to me sometimes and talked to other girls. I was mad at him for the longest time and now we are kind of friends. Its been about 2 months since weve been broke up. All my friends hate him because he made me cry. But he wants me back really bad and calls me crying and i know he loves me still. He tells me he is going to try to be a better person but i have already gave him many chances. I feel bad and im not sure what to do? I like him and still have feelings for him but my friends would kill me and i dont want to be treated wrong again. Even if i really wanted to date him, i wouldnt right now anyways. im just confused. What should i do?

liars can make communication problems pop up. if he lies and talks to other girls, this is strike one. you guys break up. you decided to give him another chance, and it happens all over again. you try AGAIN, and it happens again. each time he swears he'll change but he won't. the problem is, he's probably not ready for a relationship that'll last. your friends wouldn't hate you for doing what makes you happy, but is it whats best for your heart? you just said you didn't want to get treated wrongly again, so dont. you guys can still continue to be friends, and who knows? maybe in the future he WILL change, and things will work out :) for now, just do what you think is best for you.
