- Disclaimer: I'm using my current boyfriend's account to do this, and it
- is my problem. I'd rather not use my name so I'll use "Companion".
-
- THE PROBLEM: I was home recently from college to do taxes(yuck) and went
- through what little mail I have there. Mostly bank statements but then I
- got to the envelope that had been left sitting conspicuously on the piano.
- It was a Valentine's Day card from an ex-boyfriend, to be
- truthful, an ex-fiancee. He says he still is always been thinking of me,
- he apologized for "whatever" he did wrong in our relationship and he said
- something to the effect that he would like to get back together if I'm not
- "already engaged to someone else".
- It has been over a year since I broke up with him. I decided that
- I couldn't get married and skip college to become a military wife, which
- he wanted. I do want to get married, but I think it would be better after
- college. Plus my parents weren't too fond of him, although this was not
- the deciding factor in the break-up.
- He and I were "fooling around" but never had intercourse. I told
- him I wanted to wait until we were married, but whenevr it got hot, he
- would be begging me to have sex with him. Sometimes, when I'd say no or
- stop, he'd be very slow about it and then when we were apart, he'd
- apologize profusely, making me feel guilty for not having sex. I broke up
- with him because I felt he was pressuring me, and I did it on the grounds
- (I thought) that it would cool us off and then we'd get back together.
- The night we broke up (he also knew that I thought it would be
- temporary) he went to my best friend's house and cried all on her and then
- made out with her. She confessed to me and then informed me that he had
- been "sleeping around" while we had been dating! I asked him about it,
- and he said it was true, after repetedly denying it. Everyone in our small
- hometown knew he was doing it while I was away at college. So I broke up
- with him for good, and he immediately took another girl to bed.
- Since then, I've basically said LJBF and forgave him, plus I
- developed a loving relationship here at college (a story in itself). My
- ex and I were maybe secretly engaged for a month, and told my parents a
- week or two before we broke up, maybe two months all together. I don't
- want to write him off completely, but I'm afraid he's obsessed with me, he
- seems to have this thing for dating a girl and getting them in bed, I
- broke his record, so to speak, I'm afraid to see him again, because of
- what could happen should we end up alone somewhere.
