Search Results: seeing my ex and his new girl

Hey everyone, So i'm 25 same age as my bf, we've been together 6 months BUT known eachother for 10 years (went to school together) were dating a bit 5 years ago and then had a fling 2 years ago, have always been good friends and now we are in a really loving relationship so not as if we've just met.

He lives about 40 mins away (driving time in good traffic) first 2 months of our relationship I had a car but the effort to see eachother was always equal even though he would have to get the train (he never complained) but sometimes he can't stay over because he has work in the morning and always has to leave earlier than we would like for him to catch his train ( I couldnt drop him home as my kids in bed by that time) but my car got written off 4 months ago (my dad crashed it) so its been difficult seeing eachother with me having to spend less time with him having to catch my train to get to pick up my kids in time for when they finish school and having to get to work etc etc

I have savings for my children, they have everything they need for new school term, have birthday and Christmas sorted and a holiday booked so they are not missing out they always come first. I was saving for a car for myself but last week my ex (father of my children) bought a brand new car and has given me his old one for free as I need to get around with our children so the £1000 I saved for my car I can use to buy one for my bf. He has his test in 2 weeks and has a low income job, he has been paying for his lessons so couldnt save for one himself, he has a plan to save £100-150 a month for a Corsa but that can take him 10 months!!! My point is will it be weird if I surprise him with a Corsa after his test? (even if he fails I will still give it to him).

should I? shouldn't I?

Diving right into it. My ex boyfriend and I broke up 1st of April (wasn't an April fools :S). Anywho, I started to notice a distance between us. He no longer made me a priority and communication was to a minimum.

In the beginning he did all the perusing & courting. When he first asked me out I refused because he just got out of a relationship apx. a week before. I still agreed (Mistake?). I suggested he take time after that relationship ended and let him know we could just remain friends. Nope. He didn't want that. Gifts got bigger, more time and attention was spent together.

In the end, he stated he needed space. He felt he needed time alone because he had been in relationships since the age of 16 (We're both 25). His final words, "But, I don't want to lose you. I still want you in my life but I don't think I give you what you want right now." I responded, "I can't remain friends with you but I'll give you your space."

Since that day, I haven't contacted him. Giving all the space in the world. Look at the date... it's killing me. I work with him too so seeing him at work is really awkward. However, I always make sure I look cute and have a smile on my face. Workouts have been amp'd up, girl time has been doubled, and dinner dates with new potentials have been nice. Buuut... I still miss my ex terribly. Especially when I see him at work.

Should I ever make contact? (In person/Text/Phone) Or should I just continue resisting? He hasn't called me but still hangs with my friends. I see him looking and he's so much more animated when I see him now. I don't know. Help anyone?
