Not Moving On
63% Normal
8 Comments

I am a straight young adult male. I met a girl who I knew I had already fallen for, but she had a boyfriend. I figured I could just be her friend and not worry about anything else. It didn't work out that way. The feelings became so strong that I had to tell her about them. It turns out her boyfriend mistreated her, and she said she'd break up with him, saying she felt the same way about me. Things were great for a long time. She and I had even gotten as far as to talk about marriage and children.

But one day, her boyfriend came back to her, apologized, and told her he really did love her. She felt torn apart. She didn't know what to do. She followed her heart and stayed with him, saying I might get my chance again someday.

Well, it's been several months, and it seems like my feelings for her just get stronger and stronger. She feels really guilty that she's moved on and I haven't. My brain says I should just give up. My heart says she's worth waiting for, no matter how painful it might be. I decided to follow my heart and hope I win her back someday. Is this normal?
Do you think it's normal?

It is a sad fact that many woman do return to abusive relationships. If he has changed all well and good but if he hasnt then you cannot do anything about it it is up to her. You will have to move on now. It sounds like she never got over him during your relationship.I personally believe that if you hit a woman even once the the realationship is lost and should be finished immediately

This is sad...I'm sort of going through the same thing. My bf of 10 months broke up with me because he just wanted to be friends...my heart says I'm not ready to move on but my head says there isnt a chance in hell we will ever get back together. :( You aren't alone.

Yes, completely normal, especially for a guy. They all want what they can't have. Makes the game more intriguing. Time will make it hurt less, but believe me, you don't want this woman.

This love and relationships game is horrible.
I hate this crap.
People are in masses becoming enslaved by their own emotions. It sucks!

I wish it would just go away completely and we could just consciously decide the whole thing.
