writes:I'll try to make this long story short. I'm 31 years old. I was with my boyfriend for 2 1/2 years before he got a great job 2,000 miles away. I moved to the job location for him. We ended up having a lot of problems and he left me. That was in November. Since then, an older friend of mine that I've known for just about the same time and I started "dating" if you will. Even though I still had feelings for my ex (very strong feelings), I was really moving on and falling in love with the older "friend." Well, my ex just told me in June that he wanted to get back together. In fact, he's so serious about spending the rest of his life with me and loving me, he wants to marry me. But now I can't decide!!!! Go back to the ex who devastatingly hurt me? But whom I obviously still love? Or forget him and try something new with this older friend who I know will be COMPLETELY supportive? I love him too, but ... still have feelings for the EX!!! ARHGH!!!! HELP!!!!

Get over your ex, he's your ex for a reason and he left you. Of course he's going to say things like that to get you back. He should have known that he wanted to marry you the first time around, instead he had to crush your heart to pieces; leaving you broken hearted before he realized he wanted to marry you? Don't give him the time of day. You know deep down who is right for you and it's not your ex. They do it once, they'll do it again.

That is just so unbelievably unfair to your "old friend." Take time away from both, clear your head and then make a decision but either way, sotp toying with the poor guy.
