I know that this sounds ridiculous, and trust me I'm well aware but I am seriously in a situation.
I was with my ex-boyfriend for 6 years, and it was a very loving and happy relationship until the final 3 months where we just grew apart and work took over our relationship. We broke up 18 months ago, though both remained in civil contact as we have the same group of friends. We've seen each other a number of times and it has never once been awkward, great. I found out 6 months ago that he was actively seeing other people, and I took this as a sign that I should try moving on too.
In November, I started seeing someone who is most likely the nicest boy on the planet and he can't do enough for me. By this point, I haven't seen my ex in over a few months and I was ready to accept that it was well and truly over, and that any hope I had of us getting back together was well and truly gone. Until, a few weeks ago when my ex calls me and asks to arrange a coffee date somewhere. I agreed, thinking it would be with a couple of other friends. I arrived and it was just him there wanting to meet to discuss rekindling our relationship and getting back together. He explained his reasoning and his main point was that he had heard that I was seeing another person and it made him further realise that he still wanted us to be together, and he proposed a plan as to how we could work on things and manage our busy working lives as well as a relationship.
I said that I wasn't sure and that I needed to really think this over. My girl friends really like this new boy that I'm seeing and think that it would be a bad idea to get back with an ex. However, I have to admit that things just don't feel the same with the new boy as they ever did with my ex. I also feel like the new boy is very much a lot more into me than I am into him right now (he says 'I love you' a lot and is constantly wanting to be around me, and I need alone time!) perhaps I just need to give it time with the new boy?
Please help - I desperately need it!
