    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on who I should be with.
    I am in my mid 20s and am a full time university student and I work and volunteer.

    My ex boyfriend, we were together for 6 years. We broke up once because I was going through health issues and was pretty horrible toward him so he broke up with me. We got back together 4 months later. Now this year, he has been trying to break up with me on several occasions although I think he just used this line to scare me into changing the things he doesn’t like about me which are that I’m unorganized, late for meetings with him or for school etc. The sex has been lacking majorly. Itwould happen once a month and when it did, I didn’t enjoy it. I thought I wasn’t really into having sex. I didn’t like his moves anymore. I guess I have always been the one to initiate it. Anyway he is a wonderful guy who was always there for me, called me all the time. The issues were what I said above and the other issue was that we started treating each other as if we were friends. Hardly even kissed, didn’t sleep in the same bed etc. But we do love each other. He started ignoring me while I stayed at his house and lately whenever I cried, he just didn’t care and just went to bed. That’s when I decided to leave. Actually I got a nudge from someone else who just entered the picture. Communication was tough, I felt like we just said the same things to each other all the time. Like I could predict whatever he would say.
    New guy, he is really into me, a gentleman and the “stuff” is the most incredible I’ve ever had. He is quite brilliant. He is a new doctor and we can communicate etc but I can’t stop thinking about the ex (We broke up last month). Any advice??

    Choose your new guy because your ex-boyfriend isn’t Mr. Right. You gave it a shot with the ex — in fact you gave it six years! 😯 — which is way more than a shot, and it didn’t work out. When you got back together with him, you had more of a friendship than a romance, and the reason is that you were lonely and wanted his company more than his genuine partnership. Being single after having been in a relationship for a long time like you had, can be difficult, and you weren’t quite ready for that, so you got back together with your ex because it seemed at the time to be easier than being on your own. Well, when that didn’t work out, now you’ve only been broken up for a month, you’re missing him, and that’s normal — but it doesn’t mean you should go back to him or that he’s right for you. You shouldn’t and he’s not.

    Break ups are supposed to hurt and they naturally invoke thought and reminiscence about the good times as well as the bad. But don’t mistake that for a reason to get back together.

    It’s clearly time for you to move on in your life and find someone compatible with you — this new guy just may be the one. Give him a shot, and better yet, give yourself a shot at life without your ex. You deserve more than you had, so go for it! 😀
