I always tell myself that I have already forgotten this guy and I assume that I did so. He wasn't my first love but he's the first guy who broken my heart. It's been four years now since we decided to break apart. I am happy with my current boyfriend now. Earlier, I found out that my ex finds out that his current girlfriend cheated to him. He ask for my help and he wants to win me back. God knows how much I wanted to forget him but the more I try, the more I get hurt... My concern for him is so extreme. I don't know what to do... I'm sorry guys... I just find mylot my best friend. I just can't accept the fact that I was so loyal to my ex and I sacrifice so much in order for him to be happy with somebody else and only to find out that the girl just broken his heart... Whenever we communicate, things from the past just comes back... I wanted to be at peace but every time I try to, he distracts me... :'(

You are in big trouble girl. I was also in the same situation trying to avoid and forget the guy who ruined my womanhood and insulted my dignity. But guess what after I found out he cheat and fool me, I have the courage to avoid him by simply avoiding his text message or any means of conversation. If I saw his message I immediately delete it and if he calls I immediately turn if off. But guess what I no longer could not avoid him when he travelled thousand miles just to say sorry and asked for forgiveness. At first all I could think was "Is he really sincere of what he is doing?" but of course I did not give it that easily, he keeps on sending letters and cards to prove his sincerity. In short I accepted him again in the long run, after all he is very reason why my hearts keep on beating The difference with us girl, I am not in the relation when I try to communicate with my boyfriend. But if i were you, avoid him and never give him the chance to ruin your life again. Good luck

I'm really in a big trouble... I can't stand it. I think whenever my ex and his girl have some fights, he wants me to come back to him. I'm so stupid... I almost give him the chance to ruin my life again. I love my boyfriend so much and I realized it when he reassures to me that he won't do such a thing to ruin our relationship.

Gurl you need to treasure what you have now and dont look back for the worst thing. Just remember this, he has done terrible thing to you in the past and he could done that again. Dont give up your current boyfriend now, let your ex know that you love your boyfriend and as much as possible show to him how much you love your boyfriend. Have a time to ignore and keep on ignore all the means of communication with your ex as much as possible. I know this one is not easy but have faith that you really can do it. Good luck...

If only you don't have a boyfriend... if only you aren't committed and has no one to be hurt... I will suggest to go back and be together again with your ex... Bu t the thing is you are with somebody... Can you stand to hurt his feelings eLsMarie? Can you say that if you leave your current boyfriend for your ex you would be happy really?? Is your love for your current boyfriend not enought to fight your confusion? Actually eLsmarie, It is unfair for your current boyfriend... Even if you are not yet with your ex... your not doing anything yet... in your mind you are cheating on him already... And that makes you more confuse and guilty... because your thoughts are with your ex... I think you must weight things eLsmarie before deciding... before making any moves... Do you think if you broke up with your boyfriend and went back to your ex-- would make you happier? Do you think your ex would be a better boyfriend now? And would not do what he did to you before? Remember, he just went out from a relationship.. a relationship that had hurted him...

I'm so dumb thinking that things would still work out for the two of us. I just miss the times when I'm so madly in love with that guy and comparing it to now would only make things more complicated. I love truly my current boyfriend but I later realize that I was trying to make things worse.

I guess I should stop communicating with that guy because he won't contribute any good in our relationship. I just hope that he can find his own inner peace. Thank you very much for the advice lovelyn_medrano, I highly appreciate it...

You are not dumb eLsMarie. I think you haven't move om totally with that man yet... I understand, for many are also are at the same situation as yours too. They havent move on because at the back of their mind they wanted to put extention line with that relationship... May be because of good times and memories but might also be because of challenge too... Wanting to prove to themselves, unconsiously that the relationship will still work if given another chance perhaps.. Those bad and painful mamories and experience with the other person drives them and motivate them to go back and tried again, in hope that love would be lovier the second time around... I think people are just hard to measure and understand sometimes... Your feelings for that guy triggers or hieghten because you still have constant communication with him...

You should first ask yourself is your ex worth it? Do you love him truly or this is all simply because a little flash of memories. Consider that if anyone hurts you one time he will hurt you again. Think in the long run, do you want to spend your life with this person?

No he's not worth it... I guess it's because of a little flash of memories. I'm wrong and I'm willing to face all the consequences...

Hey my girl. I am in a similar situation. The only difference is I am not talking about my ex-boyfriend here, but my ex-husband. I got married to him when I was naive at 23. I was madly in love with him and he claimed that he loved me too . He then lied and cheated on me. He thought I was so in love with him that I would never dare to leave him. He was wrong. I left him after 2 years of our marriage. He kept trying to communicate with me. Initially, I used to tell him that I don't want to talk to him. Finally, I started avoiding him completely and I even blocked him in my emails and messengers. I have no place in my life for people who keep lying and cheating. My dear, it is up to you to ensure that you don't let him hurt you again. Please learn from your past and stay far away from him. He is nothing but trouble. God give you the strength

Thank you much girl. I'm so grateful that you were able to share your bad experience. At least I can say that I'm fortunate enough that I wasn't that in love to my ex and end up marrying him. Thank you so much. This meant so much to me.

I'm hoping for the best in our relationship because I realize that I'm ready to let go my current boyfriend. He loves me more as compared to my ex and I want to end up with him.

Aww you are most welcome sweetheart. The thing is when we are in love, most of us go blind and can't think clearly. It can be a scary thing when things start going wrong and we can't think properly. I am glad I could help you in some small way. I am sure everything will work out well for you.

WOW... your current boyfriend is so pathetic... just taken for granted...... well, hate lass like that.... you should put your feet on his shoes... better tell him the truth the earlier....

I guess it's already too late to tell him the truth because I realized that what I did was wrong. I think I'm so selfish that I was able to disregard his feelings. I'm very confident that I can be happy when I'm with him. I'll just practice avoiding the past to intervene my life again.

Thank you very much markleob... Yes, I don't want to be his toy again... Last time, I told my boyfriend the truth because I feel so guilty about it. We both cry and I'm happy that he forgave me.

Never think of the past again. You chose to be with someone else now and that's where your stand should be

You're so much right... I almost fooled myself. I'm glad that I was able to control myself. I'm at peace already so I shouldn't dwell on the past... Thank you very much Saranggola..

Hello elsmarie, I guess KARMA can really hit him hard after what he did to you but be aware that he might use you to cover his pain from his current girlfriend's terrible mistake. Well, it's one heck of a temptation there, but don't let yourself start teh flame or it will fire back at you.better yet, be civil and avoid talks about him trying to go back to you

Thank you Letran... I know that I can always count on you when it comes to love problems... I think he was really into so much pain that's why he decided to win me back... I have to use my brain. I'm so good at advising people about love problems but I can't advice and control myself.

i was into that situation too but think first why he broke your heart.. usually happy feelings and memories keeps coming back especially when we think of our ex but we also have to keep in mind why we we're hurt in the first place..

Back in the days, I can say that I wasn't his priority that's why I decided to break up with him. I love him so much but I chose to let him go because I thought that I can love somebody else as much as I have loved him in the past... It's just so sad that until now, I get hunted by the past.

My interpretation is that your current boyfriend is not that serious to you and expects that you and him will break up soon. I don't really mean to say it but you have to see very well whether he's the guy better than your ex. If your present likes to go out and your ex wants to go in what would you do. I think your present already expects your break up only that he's not that disrespectful enough to say it. And so the only thing to do now is to ask your boyfriend if he wants your relation or not. Explain too that your ex wanna come back to you. I estimate that he would understand. Its just my opinion not necessarily to true. Good luck anyway.

I think you misinterpreted it but as of now, I would want to be at peace with my current boyfriend... I caused him so much pain and I felt very apologetic for it.

well if you are so concerned with your ex, why on earth are you in a relationship with some other guy!? i would say that you have to sit down and think as later you don't want to break your current boyfriend's heart! its not a game you know! just cause you are concerned about your ex don't feel sad for him. he ditched you to be with another girl. which means he loved her and not you right!? so now why he wants to get you back instead of trying to get his love back!?? he seems to be fickle minded too. think things over through everyone's point of view and do the right thing my dear!

At first, I really can't find any word that would describe my ex and I'm glad that you gave me an idea. I agree that he's a pickle minded. I always thought that only women has it but he has too.

since you love him you can try to help him forget about it.. about try to consider your feelings first.. if you're going to help him and be close to him again..you might fall in love again..and this time, it might be harder for you to stay away..

You're right.. My current boyfriend always advises me to stop communicating with my ex but at that time, I just wanted to help him. I never thought that he would want me to come back again into his life. I should have known in the first place...

i know it's not that easy to let go but sometimes you just have to in order for you to grow as a person. i suggest that you focus on what matters. don't waste your time thinking about someone who might already be happy with somebody else. move on and who knows true love will find you :) good luck!
