Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Reality check Solo - If she loved you, she wouldn't have been seeing the other guy - she's burning the candle on both ends and you're still putting your hand on the stove. If I was in love with someone and an ex came around, I'd simply say I'm involved with someone else and please don't call. Don't apologize to us, apologize to yourself. Please spend more time with your dog who is completely devoted & loyal to you. He deserves your time. I don't think your friend can live up to your dog's qualities. You keep saying the decision is hers - WRONG ANSWER - it's your decision - don't be an idiot. As stated before, go out with new friends, no more ex's. Maybe you should write Dr. Phil and get on his show - the audience will be entertained - getting old for me. I'd never trust this chick!!!!

Close the door and keep going! IT IS YOUR DECISION, NOT HERS any longer unless you are masochistic.



P.S. do you really think she was with her girlfriends when she didn't answer your text/phone call??

I sure hope that you were using protection. especially since you knew/suspected the other guy was still around. as an aside I personally wouldn't put up the there being another guy for 3 months. I would have given her the Him or Me ultimatium about 2 & ¾ months ago.

SA, she has already answered the ultimatum. As soon as she said that she isn't sure or needs closure or whatever with the other guy you should have known that she isn't the one. You have been together off and on for years and she still doesn't know you are the one. End it NOW!!!!

The answer is simple, if she's not sure if it's him or you make it easy on her by taking yourself out of the equation.

That whole "I'll be fine" schtick is hard to take seriously when one allows themselves to be run through the wringer again and again.

I know you are right about all of it. The thing is with her low self-esteem, and depression cause all of this. I really don't feel like it is really her fault. She doesn't have a sense of self worth, and therefor doesn't value the feelings of others. On top of that they are constantly seeking approval, and attention from others. Hence a need, or want for more than one lover. I know she doesn't want to do any of this on purpose, it is just a result of her condition. She told me she loves me more than anyone else next to her father. It just sucks, I fell in love with the wrong girl.

I was under the assumption he was gone for good at about week 3. Then these last two weeks it all started to fall apart.
