unsure about letting go of 4 yr open relationship?
Okay, so I’ve been off and on with this guy for 4 years. We didnt become "intimate" till this past year. He was my first, having sex I feel may have left me less attached and I feel as if he became more attached. He wanted to hang out practically every night after that. I go to college full time and I had 2 jobs. On top of that I am a very socialable person and have a great handful of friends. Well I started giving excuses as to why I couldnt hang out, all were truthful but we ended up not hanging out for a month. I believe during that time he started hanging with a girl he had a thing with before me. He spent Valentines day with her instead of me. That was the only day I had free that week, I didnt even care that it was valentines day but we got into a fight the night before and he told me he had to work. We "broke up" about 3 times that following week, but then I quit my one job and now have all this free time. We hung out one night, did have sex and then the next day I see on facebook that he’s in a relationship with her. He still asked me to hang out a couple of times but I said no just b/c I was unsure of the situation until a week later, he texted me asking me how many guys i’ve been with. I said just him and he told me that he doesnt want to cheat on her. But he feels like he maybe would, only with me. I told him that he should probably try not to cheat on her and i told him he can talk to me anytime he wants and i told him to take care. It’s just it doesnt feel real, we’ve been "unofficially" together for 4 years and even with all the off and ons i knew he was always there. And I stopped spending time with him for a month and he gets a girlfriend. Also another thing is I didnt want to be in an official relationship at the time. We had all the perks of a normal boyfriend girlfriend relationship, we just didnt have the titles. I didnt realize how much i liked him till he got into a relationship. He’d always agrue with me about how he wanted to be my first option but I always ignored that and thought my jobs, school, family, and friends should come first. And I know now if I would interrupt his newly found relationship he’d give it up to be with me but I am a very kind person and i know this other girl likes him and i know he does like her too. I’m trying to get over this, for him. But it’s honestly the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I want to pick up my phone and text him when I’m drunk. I want to call him when I’m lonely, when I see he’s online I want to im him/ facebook chat with him. We tried being done so many times, but we always ran back to eachother. Another person is involved now and I dont know if i feel right running back this time.
I just dont know what to do?
The last week I’ve tried hanging with other guys that are interested in me but it made me realize I just want the guy I’ve been with. I dont feel attracted to these other guys and it might just be b/c I’m not over him or maybe it’s b/c he was my first and I’m not sure if I feel right moving on THAT much just yet,
Any advice/ thoughts?
i quit my job, b/c i wanted to start spending more time with him. And I realize I should of spent more time with him now but at the time we would talk every day on the phone, we’d text like a million times a day. He would never let me sleep at his house so I’d just go home and go to sleep. (I didnt get off work till midnight most of the time).
I did and still do truly care about him.
I also think he’s going to try and contact me. When I first found out about him and his new girlfriend I just ignored him. But after a while that was too hard to do. I hate saying no to him and I miss him a lot but I dont want to get in between things. I did have my chance and I was too dumb and caught up in my own life to think about his. I like him so much still and everytime I try to get over him we end up talking again.
he didnt even tell me he had a girlfriend, I had to ask him about it when he imed me one day. are his intentions all wrong? or did he just get into a complicated situation? should i just end it with the last conversation we had? should i ignore him if he tries talking to me? should i delete his number, facebook profile, sn? should i tell him how i feel? should i have a relationship with him while hes with her? should i tell him to break up with her? should i just forget about all of this?
I want to do the right thing, but i’m unsure of what that is.
i’m a true believer in the saying "eventually everything will work out on its own" but i’m overfilled with emotions and thoughts. any advice would be sincerely appreciated.
the one thing i dont want to do is be the other girl. but i feel like with the way both of us still feel that may end up being a possibilty. i party a lot and if i were to call him and tell him that i wanted to see him i know he would.
why is it so hard to just simply be done?
DARN EMOTIONS!

this situation is best left in the past. He left you for someone else because you had no time, it happens, its life, however he should have told you. Your fu*k buddies even ho he is in a relationship with someone else, that means he respects NEITHER of you. You cant carry any type of relationship with a JERK period. You can find someone else that wont make you go through this. Forgetting is fu*king hard but its in your best interest sweety.
