Should I walk away?


Question Posted Thursday July 15 2010, 1:47 pm

17/f
I've been in 4 serious relationships since i was 13.. 3 of them have ended & im currently in one...i still think about 2 of my exs.. & i mean a lot. & i dont know if i want to be with my current boyfriend any more..
& since i have feelings for my exs it doesnt help.
i want to stop thinking about my exs.. how do i do that?!

& my current boyfriend is like everything a girl could ask for..but hes just like too sensitive & too needy for my taste, but i LOVE his family.. & i dont want to hurt him at all.. what do i do ? do i just try to make it work for awhile or do i leave now?
thanks for any advice (:

I have definately been in this EXACT situation. My last serious boyfriend hurt me and broke my heart, but I have never completely gotten over him.
I started dating a very sweet guy, who was well mannered, funny, sweet, affectionate, romantic, etc. I even adored his family and loved spending time with them.
The only problem was I was constantly comparing him to my ex.
Me and him broke up, but for different reasons.

The important thing you have to remember, is why you and your ex's broke up in the first place. It's very easy to remember the good in a relationship, such as how you felt when you first fell in love with them or your first kiss. But sometimes, you have to remember if the bad outweighed the good in the relationship.

I still love my ex, and remember the feelings I had for him all of the time. But I know that me and him would never work good in a relationship again, because, as much as I loved the boy and would do anything in the world for him, I would have to remember that specific part of the relationship was minut compared to our reasons to part.


I hope this helped and if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Okay, this one is really hard to answer, but let me start with a bit of general advice and then try to answer the specific question.

Serious relationships are always tricky. It is easy to fall back into one once you've left it. In general, if there is ever anything in a relationship that makes you feel awkward, (more than just a little bit) it usually isn't right.

Now, about your current boyfriend, you have to decide if you have fun with him or not. If you aren't still having fun hanging out and going on dates, it is time to move on.

I suggest that you date a variety of guys if you can, and avoid starting any more serious relationships until you're really ready to think about getting married. (which isn't for awhile right? :) It is always a lot more fun when you aren't tied down to just one person. Dating a variety of guys is also the best way to get your mind off of the old boyfriends.
