writes: I'm so confused and don't know what to do. 4/5 months ago, my boyfriend broke up with me. We'd be dating for a year. I really, really liked him, but we argued. After we broke up, I still loved him, and I still do now. I know that he's had two short relationships, both in October, and now he's come back to me telling me he loves me and the reason he had those other relationships was because he was messed up and didn't realise what he had till it was gone. I still really like him, but my family and friends don't. If I accepted him back, I wouldn't want to tell them, they'd abandon me, look down on me. He says he's sorry, and I believe he's being sincere, and I still love him. But I know that if I didn't tell my friends and family, the secret would eventually leak and leave me worse off. I've lied to them all and told them I'm over him, but I'm not. Sorry for the rant, I'm just confused and emotional. Sorry. Thanks for any advice given, it's much appreciated. x

You shouldn't lie to them, they only care about you. If they really are your friends and love you like family, they'll understand, or at least keep their mouths shut. Lying to them would only make it an awkward life situation in general, that would make you miserable. But the thing with relationships is that you can't expect people to change. If you were having issues before, you'll probably have the same issues in the future.
