Question - (7 December 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 8 December 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Hello,

I have a problem that I am not sure how to handle. I have asked around and thought about it for awhile but cannot seem to make a decision.

I am a 20 year old college student and recently got back with my ex who has been in my life since I first came to college. He moved away and broke up with me and during that break up we talked less and less. I finally got over him and found interest in someone else BUT found out he had a girlfriend who he was cheating on with me...I went along with it still feeling horrible but found out the girl knew for awhile but decided to stay with him...so naturally I didnt feel bad if she was dumb enough to stay with him.

anyway, one day he out of the blue told me he was talking to someone (which was his gf and I told him I knew) he said we couldnt do anything anymore so I said ok. Soon after my ex came back into the picture and wanted me back...I wasnt sure it was the right thing because of the distance until he came to visit me and the feelings came back and we got back together.

SOON after that the other guy came back...saying he broke up with his gf and wanted to hang out with me. He cheated on his gf how could I trust him? but i also must say Im not squeaky clean either...ther was a reason my ex and i broke up in the first place.

But I am attracted to this other guy and I have almost come close to breaking up with my bf for him. I dont no if the "other" guy even wants a relationship and im afraid to ask.

The long distance is hard and these past few weeks I have found myself subconciously getting angry over dumb things in hopes my bf wouldnt be able to take it...I love him but after he left me he scarred me pretty bad and I'm not sure I have as strong of feelings as I used too. I dont want to break up with him but I cant help but be attracted to this other guy...

Should I explore my options? If i break up with my bf it is the last time for sure...he has told me he doesnt want to keep breaking up and getting back together. I think I'm afraid to lose him because he has been in my life for so long but the breakup has opened my eyes also...

Let me get this right...youre asking if you should leave a faithful guy for a unfaithful guy?

Are you trying to make a fool outta me?
