A female United States age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My ex boyfriend have been confiding telling me he still loves me but the only thing is that he's married now. He regrets being married to her because of the what she's put him thru. The use of drugs, physical and verbal abuse, living from house to house, etc. His family pretty much is tired of helping him because his wife continues to steal from his family. They haven't cut him off however, they just won't help him anymore until either they get help or he leaves her.

He wants to get back together but I beg to differ.

I think the reason why he talks to me is because he stressed out, depressed, full of regret....or someone that actually listens to him.

What should I do? I feel bad for him. I want to help but I have my own problems.

This is verified as being by the original poster of the question

Not only just himself but also his friends. He's finding a place for himself and his son. He recently moved in w/his friend in a small one bedroom along with his wife and two kids from other men. They both don't have any jobs and I'm taking a wild guess on this one, they are being supported by the state system. That is what frustrates me with him. Get a freakin' job.

However, I've pretty much moved on with my life but I'm there to listen to him. I have a daughter to raise and since he chose that life to live, he can live it, hopefully, it'll get better.

eyeswideopen agony auntYou have to be very careful here. Is he the only source of information on his situation? Could be bull crap. If he is so miserable why hasn't he left her? You said he wants to get back together, back together with you? Obsolutely not a good sign. If he is just feeding you the "I'm miserable in my marriage" line, then tell him to separate from his wife and file for divorce, then you'll see if you want to hook up again. Remember why he is an EX in the first place, however.

He moved on and out of your life, why not let him live that life. Kind of looks like you need to get your own life together, not add more problems to it. As the German's say, Sometimes we get too soon old, but too late smart.
