ex-girlfriend help

i recently broke up with my long term girlfriend, the love was gone long ago and it just needed to end before we hurt ourselves/eachother.

then a few days ago i went out with a few friends from work, theres was a girl there i have fancied for ages,
we got talking and ended up in bed,
im completely infatuated with her.
the next day i found out she has a boyfriend, i feel completely ashamed of myself, i should have known, but i cant get her off my mind.

and now my ex-girlfriend keeps calling me asking me to come back, but i dont want her anymore, i dont want to hurt her but i dont want her to ‘wait for me’ as she puts it,
and i know this other girl cant be trusted as a girlfriend but i cant get my off of her,

what do i do?

Enjoy life.
There will be hundreds of problems ahead. Don’t be afraid of them. In relations, think of yourself. Seriously. If people think you are a jerk. So be it. At least you’ll be a happy jerk. And most real jerk can’t say that. Take your time. play it cool. All will be okay.

You just have to tell her be honest and tell her you don’t want her to wait.
Do you think she’ll have a really hard time getting over you?
How long have you been together?

it’s not wrong to pursue her because she has a bf. girls are frequently pursued with boyfriends… just don’t get your *** kicked ;)

Well, she slept with you for a reason. She isn’t satisfied in her relationship. Stick it out for a while, eventually she will come to you.

Of course the other possibility is that she is a conniving *****, and is trying to use you in some way. Use caution

Well sooner or later your ex will realize that the whole “waiting game” doesn’t work out. It will just take time for her. As long as you are sturn and do not send any mixed signals about getting back together then she will understand in time and stop bothering you.

As for the one with the boyfriend, you already know that it is a bad idea based on the fact that she is doing this already. Whose to say that she wouldn’t do it again even if she was with you? To get her out of your mind, it just takes time again, sorry. There really isn’t anything easy about it. You’re going to think about her because she may have been gorgeous and fun, but in time you’ll stop being obsessed with her. I was interested in a few prospects and the fact is that while it was a quick fun thing, it didn’t have potential no matter how much I wanted it to. So I just moved on, no need to wait around, there are plenty of other people around!
