letting go

View all Questions Ask a Question

i was in a serious relationship for 5yrs which ended two years ago becos i found out that he was seeing someone else and despite my effort to be patient and see if he would retrace his steps, he didnt, instead he went deep into relationship with the girl and neva told me he wasnt intrested so i took a bold step and left in tears and pain to the extent of being admitted.it was so much pain coz he was my first and i was so deep into his family and so much in love with him that they were expecting us to get settled soon on which his reply was 'very soon' i had to heal up which took me so ling that up till now am not in any relationship yet coz of fear of what happened earlier.

middle last year he came begging for forgiveness(he has been sending his friends indirectly to plead but i wasnt intrested since i had forgiving him within) later we started hanging out at the cinema (i like movies a lot) each tym my minds thinks back i avoid him like a plague later he would beg me and we would hang out but still yet the girl was stil with him. it continues like that till he started inviting me ova to his house and we made out but deep inside me i dont want him back but i dont know what makes me to still talk to him talkless of hanging out with him.

i relly want to stop seeing him or having anything to do wit him again

1. what should i do to wipe off memories of him and keep him off me coz he still cals my number?

2. him and his girlfriend are still very much together but he still invited me to his house and we make out and since the girl is now tru wit school which used to be her only medium of spending time with him and now she cant go out anyhow bcos of her strict parents which is making it difficult for her to see they oly communicate tru pinging and calls now. what do u think he's up to for still wanting me around him that much?

3. what do you think of such a guy?

4. do u tink he is regretting now and wants me back but he is being proud about it?

5. he was jobless for two yrs wen we were dating and still yet i encouraged him and prayed for him hoping that tins will be well for him soon and wen that tym came that was wen he met this present girl and ignored me and after we broke up not laong after he was laiid off from work with six months outstanding salary and the second one he got just to manage himself,he was just laid off recently too and now he is jobless. do u tink his actions are based on deciet?

6. everytime he tells me he misses me and most tings i do then. y is he not leaving the other girl to reconcile with me (though my mum will neva eva allow him to aav anytin with me due to the way he treated me then).

7. plz advise me generally as a sister. am just 26yrs.

God bless u for ur help

I really feel for you mysister.But tell the truth you still love him.i feel if he left d girl he left you for,you would take him back hence your being bewildered at his behaviour.i think he knows he made a mistake but he still cant let go of d girl.also she is incompatible spiritually with him hence his loosing his jobs since he met her.He isnt worth it.U v to realise dat

i feel u dear,am in something close to dat.d truth is if he is really ready to be with you,he will leave the other girl.mine is stil with the other girl but he keeps saying we are still together and all that bullshit.my dear that is the way of men 4 you.he just wants to keep getting between your legs.dont give in when next he tries to get between your legs.if he wants to get between ur legs again he shld do it the right way and marry u first afterall he has been there before,he should wait.i think he has known u for 5yrs,so he knows how to work on ur emotions and get you into his bed,so if u can avoid him completely please do.but r u sure u can ever completely be happy with him?cosdiering all that has happend in the past.as for him i just feel he wants to eat his cake and have it.he isnt sure if he is ready to let go finally.dont u think he is bugging you right now cos the other girl cant be around him so often?just pray about it and tell God to take over and bring someone that wont cause you pain and shame.takia dear,d Lord is ur strength.

My dear, i would not advice you to go back to this man even if he comes back for you. for the fact that he is still with the other gal says alot already. i basically feel like he is using u to keep himself company since he doesnt see the other girl frequently anymore. the only way you will heal fully of what happened in the past is if you let go completely and involve yourself in some other thing...probably a new relationship. you obviously still have feelings for him and that is why you see yourself spending time with him despite all he did to you. between u are 26, age is not really on your side, u need to move ahead and start dating a man who will respect and appreciate you. not all men are the same and just bcos man A treated you badly, doesn't mean man B will. pray, talk to God, tell him to give you the strength to move on. Make up your mind, approach your Ex. tell him you would want less communication btw the both of you but be very diplomatic abt it, stay open to a new relationship, when you are ready, get involved with another man, that way you are not idle and do not always have to think back abt the past or even have the time to spend with an Ex.
you are not alone, pple go through disappointments like these everyday. it is your ability to handle the issue well that makes you a strong person. cheers!

I feel so sorry 4 u dear. But one thing i want u 2 knw is that the guy guy is not immune 4rm repeating d same again. It might b very dificult bcos u stil have some feelins 4 him but u have 2 move on. U dont knw wat he would do next even if u 2 get settled. U stil have feelings 4 him nd wil always do as long as u 2 re seeing each other, since he is ur first, his memory wil always remain in ur heart. But he might love d girl more than he luv u.@ 26. It's not 2 late 2 start over, ur mr RIGHT wil found u some hw. BEST OF LUCK IFY

Ify, i really feel like i have heard this story before cos it happened to someone i knw. In her case, he even proposed marriage in a bid to decieve her. My dear DECIET that is all this is all about. This guy knws u a lil too much and he knws hw to wind u and get u exactly where he wants. He has no intentions of leaving the other gal for u.

My advice, just move on. Dont even stay as friends with him cos it will never wrk.

Pray my dear and allow God.

i have been in such situation before dear and my advice to you is RUN!!!! we dated over ten years ago, we broke up and he came back last year and begged after ten years and i thought he was a changed guy, thinkin he was ready to settle and get married seeing as he had a good job and all. but he had several girls at the side, i stayed in the relationship, hoping he'll change...i got tired and left him in august, in november i met another guy, God sent and now im happy.....please dear RUN for your life, such guys dont change, he"ll keep dating other women even if he marries you, he doesnt respect you, and only God knows what he tells his friends every time you leave his house after "making out", leave him, if possible insult him and warn him to stop calling you, delete his number and stop thinking of him, let go dear...let go and let GOD in.
