Hi
Basically I'm torn in two. Been with my current boyfriend for two years. Prior to that was contacted by my ex's ex uncle (him and ex's wife had recently separated). He asked how I am and about my love life. This happened a few times with him wanting some kind of relationship I suppose, but things were jokey and affable so there was a friendly back and forth. Anyway, met current bf in 2018 when out and about, not in a particularly good way. Am much better now mentally and physically, and recently this other guy got back in contact, asking me similar questions as above. I said I'd met back up with old boyfriend (actually first met him aged 16) and how was he. He sent back 4 crying emojis and said he wouldn't wait any longer. I am shocked and feel bad and to be frank, wonder a bit if I've made the right decision. I love my bf and do good by him but he always has hardly any money (disabled but no longer gets dla) and his health is not good. Not his fault, but he smokes cannabis for the pain (says it's the only thing that helps) which makes him cough a lot (bad asthma as well!). Life with him can be hard and my mind wanders. Hope this doesn't sound heartless. Thank you in advance for helpful comments.

You have 2 separate decisions to make;

  1. Do you want to stay with your boyfriend.
  2. Do you want a relationship with this other man.

But those aren't your only choices. Do you want to spend some time being single? Do you want to get out and meet other men?
