Liz Taylor and Richard Burton

[affairsoftheheart]

hi, my ex and i broke up after 6 years. I ended the relationship becasue i was bored, depressed (so was he, he suffers from it), and wondering what else was out there. I found someone else and my boyfriend and i ended the relationship with my boyfriend after a fight. I immediately fell into the arms of my new man and was fine for about a month, until i started hearing about my ex and his new lover. They were going on trips and doing drugs. This upset me!!! I would call my ex..which would confuse me about what i wanted. All my friends said dont talk to him!!! So i didnt for another month..then i text messaged him and we started talking that way...well i got sucked back in and almost slept with him. I DIDNT. out of guilt for my new boyfriend. i called my ex the next day and asked him what would have happened if we had made love and he said " i wasnt going to talk to you" which i dont believe. I am fine when i am around my new boyfriend, but a few days after i dont see him, because he lives 50 miles away, i start to think about my ex. I recently heard my ex and his new love had a falling out (they arent broken up) i wanted to so bad to call him and talk, but i didnt. I fell like liz taylor and richard burton who have had this relationship that goes on for years and have been married like 12 times. I love my new boyfriend, but just not the same way i feel about the ex after 6 years. My ex says the same about his new love. Well bottom line i asked him back like 2 weeks ago and he said no. he said "i need to see if there is something else out there that makes me happy, besides you". I must admit it feels good to hear that him and his love have had a falling out and my new boyfriend and i havent. But it seems like i cant let go. Oh, i know i shouldnt already have a new boyfriend and i rushed it, but you gotta live and do what makes you happy. So if you can piece this together and get back to me that would be great, cause i cant figure it out!!!

My take on it is that you're both just chasing skeet. You're looking for someone to make you happy, and the only thing that is going to make you happy are your choices. If you're looking for it in someone else your going to loose every time.
