I'm totally scared of it. I don't know if you read my previous posts but the main idea is this: there was this guy that I liked for over one year now. he had a girlfriend untill recently but he broke up with her and came to me telling me that things aren't ok between them and that he wants us to start a relationship. I accepted and since they broke up she has been trying to take him away from me. he told me that she called him last night and said she has always been there for him but in the end they had a fight. then she messaged him telling him that she doesn't want to lose him. he's mine now so I don't see what is her problem... so I'm afraid he's going to leave me for her especially because they've been together for a long period of time and we're barely starting

Oh my dear, I'm afraid you have become what they call a rebound girl.
I'm going to be straight forward with you. This might hurt but this is something you have to learn.
Don't be afraid that he will leave you.
Though it's a natural feeling, it's not a good idea either. This could mean you have become emotional dependent on this guy that you have been with for only a short time. Learn to be emotionally independent and know that you deserve to be loved.
firstly, a guy who comes to you straight off from another relationship is not the best guy to be in a relationship with. It's a bad idea. He might be using you. In this case, it seems that he came to you mostly because he wanted to forget his old girl friend or escape her. I also believe that he likes you, but we don't know how much.
A guy should be in a relationship with you for the reason that he loves you alone, not just to escape an ex girlfriend. Besides, he has not healed enough from a break up(given that it took him a short time to between two girlfriends) it would be hard for him to start another relationship.
if you don't trust him enough that he would stay in a relationship no matter what happens then you are clearly in an unstable relationship. It's expected though since you two just started the relationship.
My advice: Let him go if he is still clinging to his ex gf
make him choose. If he goes after his ex then he doesn't deserve you. If he goes after you, then that is very very good. that would prove that he came to you because of you, not because he dislikes his ex.
What he is doing to you now is very unfair. he should be able to deal with that ex girlfriend on his own and not let you be bothered by his annoying ex.
That's what I would have done.
Also you can defend your love and keep him. But you wouldn't really know how much he loves you if he doesn't defend your relationship himself.
Confusing? Um anyway, i hope i have been of help

i've known him for a long period of time and we've been friends from the very begining. I liked him more than just a friend but I was afraid to tell him that. one day he told me he liked me too and that he would want us to start a relationship. I was afraid...afraid that he would hurt me. so I didn;t take any risks. we kept being friends aldo we had a close relationship thing which was obvious even for his ex girlfriend( she couldn't stand me). I know that maybe I did wrong to accept him as he recently broke up with her but this time I wanted to take the risk. to tell you the truth I don't care if he hurts me...better this than not trying at all

I see.
Then you would have to be very honest with each other to keep your relationship strong. Since you were friends before, then I'm sure you already have a strong foundation there. it would be harder to keep you two apart. Don't worry too much.

I can understand your feeling. But its your fault. Did you ever asked him that if his ex wants him back what he will do.? Do you feel that he really loves you.? If yes then he will never leave you. And if he understands your feeling then tell him to break every connection with her. If he can't do this for you. Then leave him or else you will get hurt more in future.

I think the timing of your entry was really not a good one. I think the guy has not yet totally move on with the other relationship. I just hope that you and him would stand by what you started. I believe that the guy needs to find some closure with the other party before your relationship becomes official. This is the problem that happens when someone ends relationship then starts a new one just right after the break up. I think the guy is in crisis right now who to follow for now. You can just wait for the final closure and let him decide who is who in his heart. You cannot force yourself in him if he is not yet ready who to let go between the two of you for now. I just hope the favor is in your side.

I think you should talk to your boyfriend as soon as possible. Ask him if he really loves you and if he really mean it then he should not communicate anymore with that girl.Or better he should talk with his ex girlfriend to settle things between them. He should choose between the both of you. If he chooses you, then you are lucky enough, but if not, you should accept it. You would suffer a lot of pain but it will just in the beginning.At least, in the beginning all things will settle well unlike when you already are in relationship together but his heart not really yours totally. It will be more painful with you.

I wanted to take the risk. he wanted us to have another atempt in the past but I was afraid she would get between us. so I didn't do anything. but I decided now he;s worth the risk. and if he decides to be with her...than it's up to him

I think you should talk to him and let him know how you are feeling. Talk to him about what she has been telling you and see what he tells you. The thing is, the girl could be lying to you, just because she is jealous that you two are now together. Maybe she hasn't gotten over him yet and she may be trying to win him back. No matter how it is done. I would just do that first and go from there and if she is telling you the truth about them hanging out, then maybe you should let him go, just because he may still not be over her either. Plus you don't want to get in the way of him figuring out what he wants to do and you don't want to get hurt.

you got me wrong. they haven't been hanging out....she called him trying to manipulate him in order to get him back. his cousin told me that he talked to her and she told him she's willing to do anything to get him back. it pisses me off that she;s trying to get between us. but I won't put myself to her level. I'm trying to keep calm and make him feel comfortable with me

I agree with subhojit10. You really have to talk to your bf personally. If he really loves you and has moved on his ex-gf, he will respect you and close any connections he has with his ex. Don't be afraid of him leaving you, because you did nothing wrong in your relationship and keep fighting for your love for him.

It's really a tough situation. And I guess you should talk to your boyfriend regarding this matter in order for you to clarify things. And try to ask him if he still have feelings for his ex-girlfriend. :)

before that he used to be one of my best friends...so I know how he feels for her. I know he's confused now and I understand him that he;s in a hard situation...new beginings scare him. he was used to her to her way of being and this is why he misses her

Well i can understand your situation very well and i think u should call your boyfriend and confront him personally asking him to choose between u or his past girlfriend very quickly. i think he is simply cheating on u by even going to her place. Had he respected u, then he would never had paid any heed to his past girlfriend. So u try to sort out the things first and hope u take my advise.
What say?

I know he cares for her and it's normal after three years of relationship. I thank him for telling me this. he didn't go to her place or something. she called him last night and she called him today too telling him that she always forgave him and now he's ditching everything. I asked him what did you tell her and he said he told her that he's sorry for that and he doesn't want her to suffer. I don't want to put him choose...because he might choose her and I don't want to take the risk. he's mine for now but if he decides to be with her I'll respect his decision

you have to be strong to take the risk. because if he really loves the other girl more than you, you would still suffer even if he is yours for now. you are clearly unsure of his loyalty. A relationship with doubts like that will be difficult to keep.
remember: learning to love means learning to let go too, swissheart.

I strongly agree with Subhojit !!! Yes , if a man have that respect to you never she will be there for his ex girlfriend , he will do all her best not to hurt you..might be she wanted to play around with you just talking advantage of your being a woman. Wake up girl , so many handsome , single around who would love you more..Just pray and wait for it , don't look just wait in God's time one will come in your front. God bless !

If he loves you with all his heart then he will not leave you and if he leaves you for the ex then better let go of him because neither of you will be happy if you try to stop him. I wish you good and that you can have your man forever. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

I won't stop him if he decides to be with her but what bothers me is the fact that she's trying to interfere between us. I respected their relationship even if I had feelings for him so I tried to keep things at a friends level. we had a special connection and he decided us to give it a shot...but now she's getting between us and this really pisses me off. but I try to keep calm. she messaged me on facebook and I didn't answer her. I don't want us to fight for him...I respect her but it's sad she doesn't do the same

hello good day..
when i was reading your discussion it seems like i can relate the situation...let me explain i had a boyfriend and were 3 years already..one time im shocked because he had another girlfriend and all of the sudden we have no problem but why?.. the girl always chatting at me, text me and said " we love each other and your BF said he had no love for you" i shocked totally shocked because my boyfriend telling me daily that he loves me so much.. he dont want lose me.......ive been in the situation hope you gonna think it thrice...im gonna share it so that everythings gonna be fine...
my Advice are this :
1. let your mind prevail over your heart.
2. Balance the situation dont be selfish....try to investigate whats the truth because most of the guy they lied to women just to take thier heart, just to get what they want...
3. do not focus on your self only in this situation.. but try to focus also whats the truth between the two of them.
4. maybe give space to each other and pls..... investigate carefully..do not focus on message or saying of your BF..try to investigate on yourself.. because in my situation maybe i can say i can relate to the girl.
Goodluck..

simply because you can rel;ate to her you're been subjective. I never did anything to steal him from her...and that's exactly what's she is trying to do now. his relationship with her was a rebound relationship if I think about it. it's true that she was there for him ...but that's not a reason to feel gulity about. and this is what she's trying to do to him. making him feel gulity is her was of getting him back. just because she's ambitious and she wants to proove me that she gets what she wants. she's trying to manipulate him and I don't want to get to that level. if he wants to be with me..ok...if he doesn't than he's free to go
as I said before...we've been friends for a long time so I know better how he feels for her

I can say I know him better than he knows himself:)). I'm kidding.seriously now...we;ve been friends for a long time but still we had a special conncetion. we liked the same kind of things, we acted the same way...we were pretty much alike. we had several atempts to start a relationship but each time for different reason we didn't get to anything concrete. my fault-because I was afraid he would hurt me; his fault-for not being able to let go a relationship that wasn't working. he is used to her after being so long together. he got to care for her even if he didn't have any feeling for her at the begining. but he doesn't love her. he's confused. I'm not saying he loves me. it's just that as I said we have a special connection. I was happy when he told me he wants us to give it a try but now with her getting between us I'm afraid he's going to step back

I don't like the fact that she's trying to manipulate him in order to get what she wants. she called him blackmailing him that she was always there for him and now he dumpes her. he told her that he's sorry and he doesn't want to make her suffer. I try to put myself in his position too and I imagine it's hard. I just hope he'll have the courage to let go of the past

I see.. Well I think the only thing you can do now is to let him know how you feel and from there, give it some time. :)
Sometimes letting a person think and evaluate his feelings is the best way to go especially when there is confusion involved. Just let him know your stand on things so he can decide what could be best. :D

well i think all this story is very complex because there is a love triangule between all you and if you want to fix the matter then you would need to set up all thing on the board with that woman and man. It is not seriosness if they want to play then go away and dont make your life more terrible. it is my advice for you.

It's a scary thought for most women, but if he does, then let him. Be the strong one. He left because he wasn't he wasn't meant for that woman, or because he couldn't commit, and that's his problem. If he realizes his mistake, then he will come crawling back, and when he does he'll have to kiss that woman's feet. If he doesn't come back, then find someone else, or find something else.
If my boyfriend decides tomorrow that he wants to end it with me, then that's his choice. I will be a little hurt, but I will move on.

hiswissheart YOu liked him but he already had a girlfriend.did you then try to win him as if you did he may feel really confused. I hope you waited till they were quits. sou nds like he has to decide whether he still loves her or is over her. to me hes not being very thoughtful of you be starting this relationship then skedaddling off when she calls him.You have to talk to him and be firm, either you break off with her because you love me or we are through.you cannot keep hanging onto somene who is that divided.so if he leaves you he leaves you as she had him first and truthfully he does not sound like a great prize to me.

I never tried to get between them. I was basically his friend with who he would talk about anything, who comfort him when he was sad. he told me something once: you're the one who makes me smile when I already have tears in my eyes. I know his feelings for her. he's confusing love with getting used to someone and it's hard for him to let go. but still I hope he'll be capable to do that. even now I don't want to get between them: she tried to contact me too on facebook but I feel that they should do all the talking. to me there's nothing I could say to hey. no mattter what I say she would always see me as that " bi*** " who tried to steal her boyfriend. but she doesn't know many things. and it's sad that she got that low trying to make him feel gulity in order to get him back

I can completely understand where your fear is coming from. And I also have reason to believe that your worries are something that are completely legit. First of all, it is clear to me that his ex-girlfriend is still pining for him. In addition to that, I also think that those relationships that are rebound relationships are basically relationships that are doomed from the start.
With all of that said, I hope that your relationship with him works out, but if it doesn't you have to realize that it didn't work out for a reason.

I'm very sorry. It's very possible for him to be going to leave you. Since he has been together with his previous girlfriend for a long period of time, for him it's very hard to forget the relationship with his previous girlfriend totally for a short period of time. He may still loves his previous girlfriend and can't forget her.
You say you have liked him for over one year now, but i wonder if you have asked him what is his true feeling for you. Maybe he doesn't like you as his previous girlfriend. He just want you to start a relationship because he has fought with his previous girlfriend and he felt agony that time. But i think he was a honest man since he told you all things and didn't cheated you. So i think now he may be very hesitated to choose you or her girlfriend. So i suppose you should give him more time to consider. And if he made a bad decision for me finally, you should be more strong.

this is exactly what I'm trying to do: give him time to decide. if he decides to be with her than I'll respect his decision. now when it comes to how much he loves her: I know he doesn't. we;ve been best friends for a long period of time and he would confess me all kind of things including how he feels for her. she was there for him in hard periods of time and this is why he got to care for her but he doesn't love her. he cares for her probably, he got used to being with her and this is why now he's confused. I hope he'll be able to let go of the past

Be strong for what may possibly happen swissheart if the guy were going to leave you because of the girl its okay don't be scared and don't loose hope. Just remember that God will never take anything without the intention of replacing something much better.If God ask you to put something down it is because he want you to pick something great..

I understand what you're going through..I feel as though you may have rushed into this relationship too soon with him..I would have wait a little bit longer..It's suspicious that he has already started a relationship with you as soon as they have broken up..People call it rebounds..
You feel scared because the relationship you have with this guy is unknown and especially if there's still an ex girlfriend involved in his life even though they have broken...He needs to prove that he wants to be with you and only you..For some it's hard to let go of feelings right away after three years of dating, whether or not the relationship ended on bad terms..
I give him credits for telling you the truth the phone call which means it's still possible to have a good relationship with him..He needs to make a decision in his heart who he wants to be with..I would proceed with caution...

thisis what I'm trying to do: I want to give him time to decide. and no matter what his decision is I'll respect it. maybe I rushed into it but I didn't want to lose another chance with him. I liked him for over a year now and I had certain feelings for him. I know there is a possibility for me to get hurt...but I would rather take that risk than not do anything about it. and who knows...
