Break-up Advice

I know the answer for this, but I need someone else's opinion besides my friends.  I was with this guy for 4 years, head over heels in love, wanted to marry him..the whole works.  We were having difficulties and I noticed he was acting "strange", and we broke up in the second week of December of 2006. I thought we told each other everything. In January of 2007, I came to find out he had a Myspace page, where he was requesting tons of girls to be his friends, who he didnt know, since October of 2006.  Come the 2nd week of February he was trying to get back with me.  During the time we were trying to reconcile, I get a call from a girl stating that she has been with him since the 3rd of Jan. of '07 and "moved in" with him Jan. 14th.  Now we saw each other twice during that time, and I knew nothing of him seeing someone else. SO he claimed that he was not seeing her when he was seeing me, but she said that he was contacting her on Myspace since November of 2006. So I left it alone for months, but he would still contact me once in a while.  And I even had thoughts about getting back with him, and he would  always tell me how much he missed me and how he wanted to be with me and what not. I was so STUPID.  He would always tell me that we will be together again. Here is where everything gets CRAZY.  His girlfriend contacts me last month (April '08) and tells me that she is pregnant.  He tells me that she is not having the baby, and she is crazy and he is going to leave her, come to find out he still stayed with her, and which she kept harassing me.  Then last week he came to find out that she was allegedly speaking to someone else, and says he is really going to leave her this time, he's still with her btw.  He comes to me saying that he wants us to have a friendship and he needs me in his life, and tells me he loves me over and over and he won't leave me alone. Confusing the hell out of me....Telling me how he wants to be with me, but can't be with me how he wants to be with me because he has "luggage" with her I assume. But yet he is still with her.  Telling me that I am the only person he could talk too, when I made it clear that we cannot have a relationship as friends.   Keep in mind I love/ed this person, but I know I don't need him in my life. Let me paint this picture for you. When I was with him I was going to school to be a Speech Therapist.  He was a nobody, and through the years I loved him and fought for him to become somebody, in which he did, he got a job with the airlines, got a car etc, and thats when things started getting rough. Now Im not going to paint a picture like I'm perfect because I'm not. But I am now a Speech Therapist, 24 , and Independant in all areas, no kids or anything. Now the girl he is with has a son who does not live with her, and she depends on him for a place to live, and he is supposedly helping her get her life together, thats none of my business.  Now I know I don't need this in my life, I am extremley hurt and heart broken by all of this but how do I get him out of my life?  I just need advice on how to over come this, Please help!

You have to go through the same steps you would take in making a radical step in your life, such starting a diet. You must be determined and resolute in your decision. You have to tell yourself that you are doing the RIGHT thing for YOU. In addition, you have to fill the empty space in your life with other activities. Give yourself some time and start dating again. From what you have written one can see that you made the right decision to NOT get involved with someone who just leaves broken pieces  behind him. You are a mature person with a great deal to offer  someone who will value you for what you are and not for what he can get out of you. Good luck and keep in touch.

If you can't handle the truth, why bother to ask the question?

I definately agree with harry there.  You made a good choice already and now you need to stick by your decision.  You aren't nearly as confused and you think you are but your ex bf there is!  If someone loves you, they do the right thing by you!  They don't cheat (whether you were with him or not), they don't lie, they don't have someone move in with them, and they damn sure don't make children!  If I loved someone and had another someone living with me, I would advise the someone living with me to get a job, get a life and stop depending on me for their support!  And then I would keep my nose clean and do everything in my power to show that I saw the error of my ways.  He isn't doing any of that.  Follow Harry's advice and fill your life with something more positive.  Put one foot in front of the other and keep going.  When you are not at work do something for you!  Work out, hang with your gf's, volunteer, get a dog!  This guy isn't going to change his stripes but you can!  Keep your head up and most of all....stop talking to him!!!!!   When he calls, tell him you won't be disrespected further and to stop calling.  Then hang up.  If he calls back, hang up.  If he calls again, let it go to voicemail.  By talking with him you are allowing yourself to be drawn in by him.  You will feel less confused by eliminating the conversations. 

Btw...I have a myspace and get a lot of guys who want to "collect" girls on their page but NEVER add them.  I figure they are losers in the 1st place.  Cool
