Boy problems

ok so I had a boyfriend for 3 years....we broke up I still love him to death we still hang out all the time but when I talk to other guys he gets so mad and tries to act like hes my boyfriend and when I tell him to back off he gets mad which hurts b/c to me he's like my best friend and I dont want to fight with him and now I kinda like this other guy but I havent told my ex boyfriend about him b/c im afraid he wont want to be my friend anymore and will quit talking to me and this new guy that I like is getting annoyed that I have to hide when we hang out together what do I do?

Ok your ex is doing the whole 'I dont want you but I dont want anyone else to have you either' he cant be so selfish and restrict you. You need to make up your mind, obviously you want to start seeing this other guy, just tell your ex straight that your not going to wait for him and be alone forever and you are going to start dating and if he doesnt like it then thats his problem and deal with it!

I am kind of like the NEW guy. I would not tolerate having to hide from your ex boyfriend. You need to tell your Ex that you have moved on and are interested in someone else. Is your Ex wanting to get back with you or remain friends? From your posting it is hard to tell if he is trying to hang onto you or YOU are trying to hang onto him! If he is not interested in you enough to be your boyfriend then he needs to face the fact that you are going to date others. Then again why are YOU hiding. Are YOU ready to move on?

sounds like a classic case of a boy with his yoyo and,you dear are the yoyo.
he doesn't want you but,doesn't want anyone else to have you just in case he decides he may want you back.well,I hope you have more respect for yourself and you go out and find someone deserving of the love you have to offer.

Hiding the new relationship from the old one will destroy both in the end. Sounds like the old one hasn't truly made up his mind about you, and wants to hang on to you until someone else catches his eye! The behavior he is showing is NOT that of a best friend....if he really was your friend he would be glad that you've possibly found someone who help you be happy.

listen. I went through the same thing. it is very difficult. Tell him about the boy you like. Tell him you still want to friends. If he says no. Then tell him it is better than being nothing at all. He has to move on. Not drag you wherever he goes, My Ex and I are still friends and I even date his best friend. This advise works for some. Try its better than doing nothing about it. ok good luck

hmmz... I would go for the new guy also...your ex boyfriend is playing that game...where I dont want you but I dont want any one else and I dont want any one to have u...
thats a crapy game, hook up with the new guy or hang out with him..do what ever you want...and if your EX does not want to talk to u...then he is just trying to play a game,
let him get over it...
