Hello. I'm 21 and I have a current bf. we've been together for 5 years and I love him so much he always makes me laugh, but there is another side to this. He has done alot of things in the past to hurt me, abuse, and drugs. Recently we have been going to church and meetings for 6 months he has been sober but last night he never came back home.. I was devistated. I know he's not cheating on me, but he was out doing drugs and I told him I wouldn't stick around for one more chance if that ever happened. I'm afraid if I leave him the worse could happen- he could loose his faith...start doing heavy drugs overdose or kill himself. He is not very stable he is 28 and still lives with his parents, but he does work. The other man I met online, I've known him for a year and he is very sweet and seems to care about me. We've been in an intimate relationship before and he knows im with someone he knows my story too. I was really depressed so today he came over and took me out to go and spend the whole day with him and I havn't had that much fun in a long time. He makes me laughs, always holds my hands, he looks at me with love and smiles alot at me.. we've talked and he is divorced for 4 yrs... he has 2 kids a single dad. He seems more stable then my current boyfriend.. and I know im falling in love with him but do you think he is falling in love with me too? What do I do in this situation? Who to go for?

A post well written...worth a +! Here's my thing: I was in your position several years ago, but with my own twist. I had met someone online (A), fell in love and was sure he was the one to be my "forever after". I met someone at work...and I did the unthinkable with B. Guy A comes to me after driving over 24 hours cross country. We meet for the first time and all was right. A leaves, but I find out he did the same thing I did. This is where I went wrong: I didn't forgive A. I should have...why I didn't? I was too proud to admit I did wrong. B and I married and have two children together, but he's into things that I don't agree with. I wished I'd stayed with A...because he's the one that truely loves me.

Sounds like you already know who to go for - the new guy! You were with your current b/f for a long time, but are staying in the relationship for the wrong reasons. He will just drag you down and not let you live up to your potential. He needs to sort out his life and make something of himself. Then maybe someday he will be worthy of you.
