Hello,
I’m going crazy with my situation and could really use some advice. I live with my ex-boyfriend, who is also my best friend. I let him come stay with me when we first started talking, then we dated for a couple months, and then broke up when he cheated on me. I have no clue why, but I never threw him out. I am still madly in love with him, even though he continues dating other girls. We have so much fun together, at times, and no one makes me feel like he does. We both have serious drinking problems, and he has been in and out of jail numerous times for DUI’s. He just got another one, which is now a felony, and will most likely go away for a long time. Ever since his most recent three-month stay in jail, he has been telling me and writing me how he wants a second chance and thinks we should get married, and how he would die if I married anyone else, and how we are perfect for each other. Plus, he is so overly protective about when I am with my other guy friends. Why does he say things like that and act like that, but not want to be together now? He’s been telling me, recently, that I bring up commitment and marriage too much and all my negativity and depression is pushing him away, yet he still sees a chance for us in the future. Also, he doesn’t pay for anything, he uses my car all the time because he doesn’t have his own, and has stolen from me in the past. I think I know what you are all going to say, but I love him so much and we can’t imagine a life without each other. I just want him to want to be with me. I know he won’t find anyone who will treat him better or who he will share the kind of bond we have. Lastly, it’s probably not helping that we still hook-up, too. So, please let me know what you think. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
