BunnyTee agony auntYou've dated this guy for THREE YEARS and "he's *recently* started to care"???? What's THAT about? And now that he does care, you're a "bad person"?? You've clearly stated that he talks to more girls than guys. While this is no harbinger of great wrong-doing, in and of itself, it does say that you're not THE one and *only*, sweetie.

Am I understanding correctly that he spends the night at other girls' homes? If this is your guy, then there is absolutely *NO* reason for this. Period. Believe me, were this my guy it would go far beyond just bugging me a ton. That's solid grounds for dismissal, you're outta here, buddy!

Lines like "they're like family" or "we're just friends" are simple Man Code for I want to do this without any static from you about it.

This guy wants you to stand around and wait for him to dally with whomever tickles his fancy at the moment and when he's done, there you'll be right there waiting as second string.

If this guy genuinely cared for you he most certainly wouldn't be trying to make you feel terrible about yourself as he's on his way out the door to spend time with a "family-like" friend, honey. Get rid of this one, he's playing you. Plain and simple. You deserve a guy who cares for *you*. THAT is how you make him understand that you don't like what he's doing. Drop this guy like a hot rock, he has plenty of family-like other girls to catch him.

Hell yes move on. He's cheated three times. THREE TIMES. If that's not a good enough reason, then here are others. He spends all his time talking to girls claiming they're family. He has turned this around and now claims you're the bad one. You being upset doesn't get to him. He makes you feel you're not good enough. No disrespect, but when you are going to wake up and decide that being treated this way isn't acceptable. You trust him? Based upon what? I admire your loyalty, but this guy is tearing you apart and is using you left right and centre. There is no making him understand. You could scream in his face to stop doing it, and he'l still do it. Stop trying to change him. Stop hoping he will change. He won't. He's just an ass who is using you, and will continue to do so while you provide yourself as the doormat to him. Dump him and find a better guy.
