Should I stay friends with my ex in the hope that we'll get back together, or leave him and try to find someone else?

Question - (6 August 2009) 1 Answers - (Newest, 6 August 2009)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, *ho writes:

I was with my boyfriend for a year and a half, we then split after both of us cheating. It is now just over a year and a half later, but ever since we split we have acted as a couple but have never been officially a couple. But have both accepted that each other have kissed other people during this time. We are only 18 and 19 so from when we cheated on each other (about 2 and a half years ago) we were 15 and 16 and very different people as we have largely matured.

I want to be in a proper relationship with 'ex-boyfriend', but he does not agree and says he does not trust me, but on odd occasions has said that this is only an excuse. But when i am to call him up on this remark says he is only joking.

We get on very well, except from when i here stories, when people i know have seen him when out drinking acting single and being all over numerous girls. Which causes arguments.

I want to be with him but feel like we will never be more than what we are. I can't help but feel used for sex.

I often wonder whether i should carry on as we are and hope, or try to leave him and hope to find someone who wants to be with me?

A male reader, anonymous, writes (6 August 2009):

your best move would be to move on from this, if you continue to remain friends as you are then you will be waiting for something he is not going to give you as long as you are hoping.

its just a matter of time before he meets a girl and it becomes official, and it will hurt you.

break off this friendship and get on with your life.

if he has a change of heart after you have gone (which he may well do, once he see's you moving on)he will let you know.
