I was dating this boy. But he told me he loves his ex.
Question Posted Sunday June 3 2012, 10:16 pm
I was dating this one boy. He told me he is in love with his. He said he likes me and loves her. This was a week ago he told me. I didn't talk to him for one week to give him a bit of time. I talked to him today and said he knows nothing about what he is going to do. I get he is confused and needs a bit of time to sort things out but I can't wait for him forever. I really want to be with him but I know if he is saying this I shouldnt be with him. I don't know what I should do. I care for him so much but sometimes I think I shouldn't. I just want him to be happy but he isn't sure who he would be happy with. Advice? I really miss him and care so much for him that I am thinking what I want over what I deserve but I don't seem to care what I desevre I just want him. Help!?
Additional info, added Monday June 4 2012, 3:29 pm: I told him to be with her but he said he wasn't sure what he wanted. I tried letting him go but he won't leave. I was there for him when everyone else we knew hated him. I think he knows he shouldn't leave someone who gave up so much of her life, friends, and reputation for him. I think he realizes that I am the only person left in that school who cares about him. . Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life?

My first love...was the only person i ever trusted everything too. my life. everything that kept me strong... but there was always so much worries of his ex still being in his life because they were that type of high school couple accept it didn't stop there. after being with him for what seemed like ever... and going through shit, i didn't even know i would go through... he broke my heart. no reasons given. just destroyed me. and it was only months later after i FINALLY felt better a little bit that i found out it was because he was cheating with his ex... well pretty much our whole relationship. And i knew he still had some type of feelings, i just denied it.
anyway moral of the story, i already made this mistake and i would hate for you too. it doesn't matter how great you are to the guy, as long as he loves his ex, you'll always be the rebound. nothing more. and if he sticks by you, there is a chance it may not be because he cares but because he feels he owes you for being there. do yourself a favor and ditch the guy and get someone worth it. i wish i did. and at least you'll be saving yourself some pain.

You should let him be with the person he loves, and maybe somewhere along the way, you'll find someone who loves you. I wish you and your heart the best of luck in your decision.
