i dated a guy for 2 years. and we had a sudden break up. I'm currently dating another guy, for about a month now. I really like my new boyfriend, but thoughts of my old boyfriend are still around. and its really hard because my ex still texts me and gives me attention. its been about a year since we have broken up. he knows I have a new boyfriend but he still tries to get back with me. I'm the one who broke off the relationship to begin with. I'm not sure what to do. he was my first love. and he wants to get back together. but my new boyfriend and I get along great. I'm not sure what to do about this.

Ur in a rebound relationship. Let me guess, you went to this new guy, and told him all the things you didn't like about ur ex, and he's not doing what ur ex did. BUT give it time, ur new boyfriend will show his true colors, and ur gonna say, sh*t what did I do... And ull wanna go back, but it will be too late.

So many dumb girls out there today, always thinking the grass is greener, when it isnt.

Pick one and stick with it. Its not fair to the new boyfriend for you to keep letting the old boyfriend hang in the picture and give you attention. First loves are hard to get over and you broke up with him for a reason so maybe you need to relook at those reasons and decide if its worth trying with the new guy or going back to the old one.

It's far easier to go back to what's familiar, than to start anew. And this is one of the many reasons people never obtain happiness.

To me it all depends on why you broke up with him in the first place, was it you, was it him, or was it something outside of the two of you that pushed you to end it with him?

If it was him and you don't believe that which caused him to be dumped in the first place is still the same (or just bad like cheating on you or something) then chances are you should just end contact with him and look to the new guy in your life.

However if it were you or something outside of the two of you, think about whether things are TRUELY different now, and could be put back together, if he was your first love then there was probably a reason for it, however if he's trying to push you into being his girl even though he knows you're with someone, it could either mean that he doesn't respect you the way he should, or he feels as though loving and being with you is more important than possibly tarnishing what you think about him by making the leap.

No matter the case, if you don't make a decision within a certain amount of time it could lead to the new guy you like questioning how much you actually like him essentially pushing him away, or leading the other guy to think that you just don't have love in your heart for him anymore.

I really hope this answer helps you sort things out, and find out what is best for you. Best of luck to you. =)

Well you can never have to many friends talk to him and figure out what is going on. If he just wants to be friends great, if he is trying to get back together tell him why you broke up. Since you are still thinking about your ex there is most likely something you don't have resolved, if you find yourself comparing your boyfriend to your ex you most likely like you ex more. Hope that helps.

Rebounds don't work. You like your new guy now, but when your ex finally gives up trying to get you back and begins to date someone else- you will want him back.

Tofukitty Did your boyfriend write this? *suspiciously eyeing mister anonymous* haha. Really though the girls are right... ex's are ex's for a reason. Don't ruin what you have with someone new just to get back what you already know you didn't want. Looking back things always seem better than they were, but you didn't leave him over nothing. - 20 days ago
Answerer Definitely not her boyfriend, but thank you for discrediting my opinion. - 20 days ago

So why did you and your first boyfriend actually break up it might have been sudden but there is always a underlying reason.

If you're not sure, then you have to (temporarily) get rid of both guys.
Spend a week or a month with no contact from both guys. This time away from them will help you realize who your heart really wants.
It's not easy.. .but it really works.

it seems that your ex won't let go and you won't either.if you want to be with your new boyfriend, I say you have a talk with your ex and finally end things for good.
but then again if you havesome feelings for your ex, ask your new boyfriend to give you some time for you to sort out things and that can help you choose who you want to be with more.

There is a reason why he is your EX-bf and he should stay that way. Don't be afraid to open up to the NEW guy and just let him in...completely. Your EX is just there bcuz of what you two used to have, its not worth going back into the same ole same ole before. So go with the NEW guy and let him love you and show you how you should be treated.

Tell your EX to leave you alone and let you go...better yet CUT your EX off...dont answer his calls/text...its for the best!

Best of Luck!

if you can't decide who you want to be with, then neither of these guys are probably right for you. you may like them, but liking someone isn't enough to make a relationship work.

Tell your ex to leave you alone. He had his chance. People break up for a reason. If things don't work out with this guy (who sounds nice compared to the guy who doesn't even respect that you're in a new relationship)... THEN make a decision. But people tend to forget the reasons they broke up with someone (don't let your need to be love cloud your decision making abilities)

Trust me, my first love crushed me, but I found someone waaaay better, and there's no way I'd ever go back.

he is your ex for a reason and no matter how great it may seem to get back with him whatever the reason you broke up with him will surface again. Why go back when you can move forward. Of course you will always love him if he was your first love, but that doesn't mean you have to be with him. Trust me I know me and my first love have been apart for 9 years and I still love but he just isn't the right one for me and there isn't nothing wrong with that.. Good Luck!

what was the reason you broke up with him in the first place was that valid if yes then stay with the second guy the first guy had his chance. I know its hard but try not to think of the old boyfriend and I think if you really wanted to be with him the relationship would not have ended or you would have been back together buy now.

first you need to think why did you break up with your ex. people tend to want what they can't have at that time. so you might think breaking things off is a great idea then get back with your ex and be unhappy. with your ex being your first love as well it makes it tons harder because many people never get over that one person. ex's are usually ex's for a good reason because it didn't work some way or another. no one can decide what you want but you have to come to a decision because this isn't fair on your new boyfriend. if you want to make a go of things with your boyfriend you have to telk your ex to back off
