Question - (21 August 2013) 3 Answers - (Newest, 21 August 2013)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

I was dating this guy for a year and a half and we broke up. I couldn't remember the reason why we did because it was a few years ago but I know that it didn't end well.

After being broken up for a little bit, my ex started dating my friend. She's done this to me before but I really loved this guy so it hurt me extremely bad.

Anyway me and her got into a fight and I told him I want nothing to do with him, and he kept apologizing saying he only did it to make me jealous but even after apologizing he never broke up with her.

He kept asking to work things out but I said no because I didn't trust him and I'm extremely hurt

Anyway we are starting college and I ran into him for the first time in a few years and All the feelings I had for him came back. And the same for him. I cant get over the fact that he dated my friend but I feel like it was my fault.

Should I give this another try regardless of my hurt feelings or should I just leave him alone ?

Honeypie agony auntNope, I'd leave it at being friendly towards him.

DUDE, he started to DATE your best friend! She didn't MAKE him date her, he chose to date her.

He was a sucktastic BF and she.. a horrible friend.

Don't go back to him, it will NOT be some epic love story - all those old things will pop up when you least expect it.

FIND yourself a new beau - there should be plenty of guys who are worth dating at uni. Why get stuck with this one?

No you shouldn't give it another try; because you want him back for the wrong reason. You're just upset because he was with your friend and it bothers you. You want to show her you can take him back.

He's recycled and used goods. He did the worst thing a guy can do to his ex-girlfriend. Have sex with her best friend. He caused you two to fight over him, and destroyed a friendship.

Even if she did it before, you managed to make up. Well, if you like drama, and recycled boyfriends, go for it.

He's nothing but a tool. Every-time you kiss him, you'll remember he was with her. You'll end up breaking up again.

I'd say, stay WELL AWAY from him and her.

What they did to you was pathetic and rotten. And it wasn't your fault, you didn't force them to get together.

She sounds like such a nasty "freind", never have anything to do with either of them. You deserve better than that. If you take him back he'll more than likely treat you like a doormat. It'd be fine at first he'd probably be very nice to you but as time goes on I think he'll just go off with other women and leave you feeling horrible about yourself.

You're worth more than just to settle for him. He needs a serious kick up the ass!

In my opinion you'll just end up with more worse hurt feelings and I just think it's not worth it.

You should focus on meeting someone who will treat you well, love you and respect you. But I don't think this guy will.
