What should I do with my Ex boyfriend?

Asked by babyscorpio718 (29points) March 27th, 2008 from iPhone

Me and my ex broke up almost two years ago on good terms because he was completely honest with me on how he wasn’t ready to be in a relationship even though he thinks I’m perfect. He told me he just couldn’t hurt me anymore and we are better off just being friends. I’m 22 now and he’s 26 I have a new boyfriend that’s 23 and he would do anything for me and he’s always around. I been with him for nine months now and now my ex can’t resist me. He is always telling me how much he loves me and how beautiful I am to him. I’m still in love with my ex but I’m happy with my new boyfriend. My ex knows about my boyfriend but now I feel he’s trying harder to be closer to me now than before as if he wants me back. He’s been this way since the begginning of my new relationship and he’s not giving up. I care about him but I know I wouldn’t be able to trust him. He more of a better friend than someone to have a relationship with. I’m still young and need more experience so should I keep him around as only a friend or have him as a sidepiece?

a sidepiece never ends well.
think about everything you like about your ex and your current boyfriend. which is higher? That’s your answer.

he’s afraid of losing his control over you. He only wants you now because hes in jeopardy of losing you. If you take him back nothing will change and the relationship will go south as soon as he resumes dominance.

It sounds like the guy just wants what he can’t have. I’m sure we’ve all been there in one way or another. Let him go.

I was that ex with my ex girlfriend, only I went crazy and started putting notes on her car telling her how much I miss her and such. I actually made her fall out of love with me, or at least she told me that over email. I didn’t hear her actually say it, but it effectively works. Just tell him you’re no longer in love with him. Its harsh, but works oh so well. Just dont let him see you react to him if you see him out, any hope I would see, would start the process all over again (I.e. Hearing you were inquiring about him, him seeing you react to him)

quit him like cold turkey
your current boyfriend will thank you

Its not fair to your current bf if you keep your ex on the side, if your current bf found out don’t you think he would get mad? Have a hard time trusting you? Etc.

No good can come out of having an ex on the sidelines.

Practice saying “No, I can’t tonight, I’m busy.”

Stop returning his phone calls. You have a new boyfriend.

I think this is a big case of wanting what you can’t have. He suddenly sees you with someone that you like and he wants you all for himself. Get rid of him!

If he is truly a friend, he would be glad that you have found someone that makes you happy. But he isn’t showing true friend potential, and will only create tension between you and your new boyfriend, so it’s best to cut ties with him. He already had his chance with you and blew it. Concentrate on the new boyfriend, and make yourself increasingly unavailable to the old one.

If you are unhappy with your new boyfriend you should let him go and find happiness with another but remember a man never changes the way he treats his mother is the way he will treat you. They always semm to want what they lost
