MrWombat agony auntYour ex ... oh! You're a teenager! Well, that explains everything.

You are taking this stage of your life waaaay too seriously. This sort of drama is pretty normal. Just remember to give it up once you get a bit older - many people forget to.

Uncle PJ agony auntThere is nothing wrong with you so don't feel as though there is. At your age, it is very very rare that a relationship will last longer than a couple of years. It's not necessarily anything to do with the people, it's just that you may not be emotionally ready to understand how to maintain a relationship, or indeed know what loving the right person feels like.

But like any relationship, you will miss anyone that you have had a relationship with because of the attachment you had with that person.

As for him, you should not try and let him in purely because he left you and moved onto your best friend. No doubt, he'll then move onto another one of your friends simply because he will have hung around with them just as much as he has hung around with you. That way it's only a matter of time before he thinks he's developing feelings for another girl and that other thinks she's developing feelings for him. So they end up getting together and as you've just found out, they've realised that they don't actually like each other like they thought they had and have ended the relationship.

To you, your friends' relationships probably seem like they last because it's something you yearn for. But you will find a relationship that will last one day, so be too worried about this yet. You have plenty of time in your life to be settling down, go and have fun and if the right guy turns up, he turns up and you'll know it and have that wonderful relationship you've been dreaming of.
