writes:Hi well my problem is that me and my ex boyfriend where together for four years and that was two years ago we randomly sleep together when we see eachother which i regret after every time.Could you give me some tips on how to let go and stop going back because its embarassing people hate us together because all my friends say i can do better and that hes not worth it because he sleeps around with hundreds of girls and doesnt care he even sleeps with people i know which puts me down a lot because i would never do that to him.I just dont know what to do my friends have given up on telling me not to go back to him so i have no one really to talk to about it.I dont understand why i keep going back because hes not who he used to be and i also think hes lost his looks with age but i always have that urge, like a habit.maybe revenge for how badly he treated me in the past i just dont know can you help?Ive also lost a lot of confidence since being single basically because my ex told me i couldnt get any other guy and that hes the best il ever have.I used to be so confident and felt sexy and out going and no male was ever too good for me now i just feel hopeless and quite frankly alone.

reader, anonymous, writes (7 August 2009): I just went through the same thing. You feel alone, unwanted and unloved. It sucks, it really does. You have such a strong sexual desire for him because you were with him for four years!! You guys clearly had good sex, and were probably happy for most of your relationship. You seem like a smart, sweet girl, you NEED to move on. Just cut him out of your life.. stop the phone calls, stop seeing him, avoid him until the urge to have sex and be with him settles down. Cold turkey is literally the only way to get over it. When me and my ex broke up I felt the same way, and I didnt want him to be with anyone else, thats why i kept taking him back.. now, i havent talked to him in 3 weeks and I feel amazing. I feel freed, laid back, and ready to find someone who will actually treat me well and appreciate me. You deserve the same! Go find that man who will be the one, the one that will make you forget about this LOSER!

 Revenge, for who? I don't personally know a guy who'd consider sex as being revenge against them. Sometimes, especially when you have a diminished self esteem, its easier going back to someone who isn't the best for you than it is to enter into unknown territory with someone new.
As far as his saying he's he best you'll find. Who gave him that power to determine that for you? As long as you keep going back, your accepting his treating you the way he has been. It's not going to change. He's not going to change for you no matter how much you'd like it to be different. People change for themselves, and more often than not have a major wake up call that causes or set the change in motion. As long as you, and these hundreds of other women sleep with him, he's going to gladly keep taking what you're giving.
Some people aren't very nice. Just because he's not, doesn't mean you can't be as you were before you had met him. It's up to you to look in the mirror and tell yourself you're better than what he's been dishing out, and that you deserve more than what you've been getting. Say to yourself that although you desire it, you're not going to do it because you know the feelings it leads up to. Prove to yourself that you can still make decisions that are in your best interest, and not catering to a guy who's wrong about being the best you'll find.
