Wish I was wise Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 15 yrs ago I dated a wonderful man named Jeff. He was very kind to me and to my two children. I was on the rebound and four months into the relationship with Jeff, my former boyfriend wanted another chance and I gave him one. It lasted two months. Jeff told a mutual acquaintance that I had broke his heart and he transferred to another city soon after we quit dating. I have thought about him through the years and have felt true regret over my actions. I recently ran across him on facebook, we have started talking again and he says he still crazy over me (he is also still single). I am not single, I live with my boyfriend of 6 years but was going to leave him even before I started talking to Jeff. The week that I was moving out, my current boyfriend went to the dr. and was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. Now I feel like I can't leave him... Do I stay with someone that only wants me as a caretaker or do I leave and make a life for myself with or without Jeff. I am so confused.....
Ruby65 Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Wow, you really need to stop using poor Jeff as a rebound! Once is really bad, but twice -- ? Give the guy a break. Leave your boyfriend. Why stay with someone you don't love? That's not mature or respectful to him or to yourself. As for poor Jeff? Why not spend some time *being single* before jumping into a second rebound with him? That way, instead of using him again as a second escape hatch, you can start to explore a relationship on a level playing field and see if you really have feelings for him when you don't *need* him to help you recover from a breakup.
