I cant let go of wat i love most, but it seems my actions have made that choice for me.

Steven was my boyfriend on and off for threee years. we ended this past november, and now i am talking to this new guy, kevin. right now, i love steven. i made a mistake by breakng up with him and i broke it off bc i am still in high school and i thought i could just put off our relationship yill after high school or whenever bc i wanted to date other ppl. well, i try dating other ppl and its nt the same. each time, i compare the guy to steven in some way. i think about how much better it would be w steven. so then i would stop dating that person and run back to steven (nt dating him tho). so basically he is like a back up plan. recently, he is really upset with me and he says he needs complete space. idk why is is upset, but i need him. it took my up till now to realize that i love him too much to wait till after high school. i cant, or maybe i just feel this way bc i dont have him right now. i have tried telling him how much i need him, and how much he means to me. it didnt work, he thinks he isnt good for me bc he feels like he isnt good enough..but he is and i have tol him that. as of now, i havent talked to him for a week. its killing me. i kno he still feels for me somehow and i love him, but i feel obligated to talk to kevin and continue that bc he lost his virginity to me (i didnt no he was virgin when we did untill after) and i do like him. i dont kno wat to do. steven wont talk to me and he was like my best friend thru thick and thin. i cant tall kevin how i feel bc then he will back off. i kno i rele want steven, but then i want to try something new with kevin. =/ ugh

First thing you have to do is mentally step back and make up your mind. You can’t get what you want if you don’t know what that is. After you know what you want, decide when you want it. Then figure out how to work that out the best. Check with someone who has an outside perspective but knows you, and then go for it.

Girlfriend you need to stop and think about everyone involved. You are confused and now toying with this other guys emotions. I just hope Kevin doesn’t think he is in love with you. Because you are not just messing up your stuff but what about Kevin, and Steven and anyone else that may get hurt. Love is a lot of things and you sound like a smart person but maybe you need to get right with you. Steven is already fed up with the games but he probaly don’t want to let go either and you might just ruin a good man because of your selfish ways. And this may sound harsh but I was selfish and hurt a lot of people because I couldn’t make up my mind. And in the end I had to work on me before I could commit myself to anyone. I am still working on my selfish ways. Stop worrying about if you will be together or not or comparing him to others because you will run across many and none will be the same. It is you who you must find.

I know you hurt because I lost a good love too. But in the end if you come to terms wth yourself then maybe he might come back or you might just decide that everything happens for a reason and move on. I don’t believe in mistakes just learn from your experiences and grow and Steven might see that and come back. True love does not fade it’s just a matter of your many emotions. Good Luck!

Anytime you need me I will keep a look out. But let me tell you you feel like he is your only hope. You are young and I know years from now you will still have love for him but you will know that life goes on and shouldn’t be revolved around one person. I bet that if you just leave him alone and keep pushing yourself to focus on other things in your life that he will come back and see that you have grown and sometimes thats what it takes. For us to grow up and realize that we have other things important to us. You said you were an athlete right? Well focus on that and graduating and leave the boys alone for a little while and you never know what might pop up in your life.

I’ve been this situation before. If Steven’s okay with dating other ppl then it’s okay. But if you don’t think your ready you can wait but i wouldn’t take too long though, just think about what you want to do. It’ll get better trust me=)

Take a break for 30 days and don’t date or talk as is the term nowadays. After you have cleared your mind, then and only then pursue your heats desire. Oh and if Steven was your first love you will never forget him and you will also see a little of him in anyone you date or marry. Just take it one day at a time.

well thank you everyone. i realize tht steven is much better for me than kevin and i think i was just fond of kevin for the fact tht he was something different. it wasnt different that i needed though, i needed steven…just didnt discover that till thought he was gone. thank you all again. now, i am waiting a while before i date again and until after prom. only thing bothering me now is steven’s really close girl friends…they are constantly there.
thanks!
much love,
christine

I was with Steven for 11years and two kids. We seem to have this love hate relationship with one another. For two years that we have been separated, (which I moved on with someone else)we have done nothing but argue and we are still trying to figure out who it right and who is wrong. I do not know why I can not get him out of my system, why for some reason I still feel attach some way to him. I love this man I am with. He treats me with so much respect and I know that he loves me. I know though that I will never have the same kind of love for him that I had with Steve. My boyfriend is very insecure because he says there is still a bond between us. I have always figured it was the kids. But now I do not know. Why cant I forget about my feelings and the past with this man. Why is he haunting me?
