A little history.. (let’s call him) Daniel. He and I dated for two years, and we broke up about 6 months ago. Both of us still have feelings for one another, even though we’ve had our share of flings in the time we spent apart.
Right now I’m dating someone that I’ve been with, off and on, since October, let’s call him Tony. There was a two-week period around Christmas where we broke up because I thought I wanted Daniel back, but I couldn’t make any serious decisions, so I just went back with Tony.
Now I feel like I’m coming to my senses about Daniel, and I want him back, for good. I don’t want to play relationship tag any more, and I don’t want to hurt anyone. The problem is that about a week ago Tony and his family had a huge argument and now he’s living with his aunt and uncle (he’s 18, going to school). He was adopted so he doesn’t know any of his real family, and soon he’s going to be going on social assistance. Just like the last time we broke up (Christmas), the timing is terrible. I promised I’d be here for him during this tough time. To make matters worse, his birthday is coming up March 9th, and I was looking forward to it, and I was going to buy a sexy new outfit and make him a cute video for Youtube. I don’t know whether I should pretend everything is alright and still do these things, or let him know somethings wrong ASAP and ruin his birthday. I don’t want to be a part of the reason for someone’s depression, as I do still care for Tony, just not in the way I thought.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!
