So last night, i had to unfortunately had to break up with my GF of almost 3 years. Long story short, i can’t give her what she needs(expects). She grew up in a family where they never told her no, so whenever I have to tell her no, she freaks out. There’s more to it than that, but everything combined eventually got me to the breaking point and i had to. After things started going down hill a few months ago, a girl i work with and now am in a class with, started talking to me and the more we talk the more i realize how similar we are and have things in common. I slowly have started developing feelings for this other girl, but not enough that i would have broken up with my GF for the sole reason of this other girl. It is enough though, that i would ask her out if i was single because I’m not the type that’s gunna cheat on a girl. I don’t even know what to do right now. I know for a fact I’m gunna give it a bit before i make a decision on what i want to do about my Ex and this girl, but if anyone has any tips, I’d take em.
Don’t get me wrong, i still have strong feelings for my Ex, but I can’t deal with the way she acts when i tell her no or if something doesn’t go her way. She is also the extremely jealous type where if I’m talking to a girl she is asking 100 questions about who she is and why I’m talking to her. She has been texting me all day today saying that she’ll change, but she’s said that in the past and she only changed for a few weeks and then back to normal. On the other side, with this other girl, I’m not even 100% sure if she likes me more than a friend or not. I’m about 80% sure she likes me, but it’s something I’d have to give time to figure it out. I’m a pretty quiet and shy guy, but i can talk to this other girl all day and not mind a bit, something that I struggle to do with my Ex.
I’m just stuck whether to go back to my Ex since she says she’ll change, or move on and see how this other girl feels. Also, a few people i work with noticed that we had been talking a bunch lately and i mentioned that i like this girl, so they said they’d work on trying to find out if she liked me back.
