I'm struggling to get over my ex. Our relationship wasn't perfect, but we were together off and on for six years and I'm still in love with him. Truth is he never did treat me very well. I was always at the very bottom of his list of priorities, being outranked by dungeons and dragons. I know I should've broken things off with him years ago instead of holding on and trying to make things work (sometimes love just isn't enough). He was always the one to call it quits then beg me to give him another chance. When I'd take him back things would be great for awhile, then he'd start getting distant and our cycle would repeat. This time around he broke up with me days after my grandmother passed away and confessed that he was already getting involved with someone else. This took me by surprise, I thought we were finally in a good place and on the same page. He had asked me to move in with in him and we were starting to plan our future together.
I'm trying to get over him while grieving for my grandmother. This is a really difficult time for me. I just reconnected with an old friend, and he's been really sweet. Only problem is he wants more than friendship, more than my broken heart can give right now. I'm trying to decide if I should give him a chance. He's a really great guy, I'm just afraid of getting hurt again-though deep down I don't think he would hurt me. I'm lonely and confused. Any opinions are welcome!
