writes: What should you do if you know that you shouldn't get involved with a guy because you have been there too many times before and he has treated you badly, but for some reason you just can't help yourself? If you see him everyday, and are friends with all the same people, how do you break out of the cycle? Reply to this Question Share |

This is a tough situation. I once was involved this way, and what ended up working for me was anger. I forced myself to recall every single incident that hurt me, that made me angry, that told me he didn't really care or he would act differently. With this anger, hopefully you can avoid even being nice to him. He doesn't deserve you if he's playing games. Also, it will give you closure knowing that you were able to say no and move on. Life is about change, fun, and wonderful experiences. Find a real man outside of your circle of friends and you'll see what sort of good things you've been missing!

I know how this hard is. I was obsessed with a guy who did nothing but hurt me and enjoyed the power he had over me. At the end of the day there's only one thing you can do and that's use willpower to tell yourself you don't like him. A little positive self enforcement goes a long way. If you tell yourself you don't want to be with him enough eventually you'll believe it.
