kwoman99 Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 Long story short me and my boyfriend for a little over a year were in a long distance relationship. We were seeing each other almost ever weekend and then we began fighting and bickering about a lot of little things. Eventually he ended up leaving me for some one else who he became infatuated with because she was always around him. Their relationship lasted about 3 months and now hes seeing a new girl who he has been with for 3 months. The other day (6 months after he broke up with me) he called me crying saying that he's been thinking a lot about me and he realized he really messed up by letting me go. He said he realized a while back that he's still in love with me and he is only with these girls to try to get over me, but he had been scared to contact me because he didn't know how I would react. He even said he finds himself constantly trying to get these girls to act like me because he isn't able to have me. It hurt a lot to have him tell me how he feels since I am not completely over him yet. He says he is willing to do whatever it takes to make this work but I told him that I don't feel like its the right time or environment since we are still living 2 hours away from each other. My final response to him was that every couple of months I would be open to catching up just so we aren't entirely out of each others lives and after we graduate in 2 years if we still feel like theres something there then we can try and give it a shot since he would most likely be moving back into the area and it would no longer be long distance. The next day I felt so depressed. I felt like I was going through the break up all over again. Did I do the right thing by telling him we can't make this work right now? Does anyone have any advice or similar situations that will help me?

Does anyone have any advice He may be genuine or not. You can't know for sure right now. If you really love him and he's willing to do *ANYTHING* to get back to you and behave, you might give it a go. But don't say things like let's keep it open, in 2 years we might hook up again... you can't know where you'll be in 2 years, or who you'll meet.
