So I’m new to this thing, just to let everyone know… I guess I’m just tired of venting to friends, because I know they’re tired of me having feelings for an asshole. My situation is this: I was with a guy for over 4 years, together for most of it… then, about 4 months ago, out of the blue I found out he’s moving out (from his best friend), only to discover he is interested in this other girl (a situation which I had called for 2 weeks)... so he packed up his stuff (took everything for me not to throw his clothes in the snow). His last words to me: “I need a break.” We live in a small town, so I put my big girl pants on and toughed it out.. I didn’t say a word to him when we were out, despite him and these “girls” that he was interested in finding ways to torment me (one actually tried to confront me…! I didn’t say a word back). Anyways, so I get this email about a month ago, asking if we could talk… I was shocked. I responded 2 weeks later with a fine… ended up talking to him for 7 hours, listening to how badly he messed up, how he was “scared” becuase falling in love wasnt his plan… he right then and there said he wanted to be with me, he knew the whole time he wnatd to be with me and any time another girl was around, he always thought about how she wasnt me. So we’ve been talking for the past few weeks, trying to get past things, when the other night, I found out he slept with someone else. They both say it was a huge mistake, he cried for hours about how he messed things up. From his side of things – she started it; from her side, he did. And each side’s story keeps elaborating – first he was just “nice” to her in the morning, now he was kissing her… I don’t know what to do or what to believe. Am I asking for it to keep talking to a guy like this? How do I say goodbye… again My biggest thing is this – I did some things while we were broken up that were huge deal breakers, too. We weren’t even speaking when they were happening, but is that a reason for me to justify what I did? I was never aware a heart could actually hurt and I don’t know what to do…
