I still love him

My ex-boyfriend and I were together for three years and broke up a month ago. We had our ups and downs in the relationship and towards the end he chated. I caught him and confronted him and we decided to try t work things out. I forgave him because he was lonely and I did not make hardly any time for him. He wa also scared of where our relationship was headed. We have been broken up for a month now but I really want to work things out. He is having a hard time forgiving himself for hurting me the way he did. He is seeing the girl that he cheated with and tells me that he does not love her and still loves me. Tells me that they do not have a future together and losing me he feels like he has lost a piece of himself. How do I get him to realize that we can work this out? How do I get him to realize that we should get back together?

Answer #1

I have to empathize with girls like you. You really need to read what you just wrote. He is having a hard time forgiving himself for hurting me the way he did> When a guy says, “I didn’t want to upset/hurt/disappoint you” what he is really saying is “I didn’t want to deal with your justifiable anger towards me when you learned exactly how I upset/hurt/disappointed you”, can you see the difference? The difference is in the root of the lie and in this case that root is definitely not that he didn’t want to see you upset. If it were really that simple, if it were truly just a matter of not wanting to hurt you, he wouldn’t have done whatever it is he did in the first place. No, he knows he messed up and doesn’t want to face the music and that is why he lied. It’s as simple as that! Rather than deal with this situation, a guy will often tell what he sees as a “little white lie” in order to avoid setting off unwanted emotions in the woman.

he is seeing the girl that he cheated with and tells me that he does not love her and still loves me >you seriously believe that one? If he didnt have any kind of feelings for her, then why is he still with her?

Tells me that they do not have a future together and losing me he feels like he has lost a piece of himself >If that were the case, why isnt he still with you, and not the girl he cheated on you with? You are being naive to believe EVERY excuse he is giving you. He doesnt want you back, hes not having a hard time forgiving himself for what hes done, he doesnt still “love” you, and he hasnt lost a piece of himself…because if those were all true, YOU would still be his girlfriend! Just think about that!

Answer #2

Talk to him and tell him how you are feeling. tell him you want to work things out and that you forgive him and want to start all over. I hope you two work out good luck, savanna

Answer #3

I have and he tells me that he is having a hard time getting over how he hurt me. He tells me that there is a chance that we will get back together, but he has yet to make that step. He gets upset if he knows that I am seeing someone else and shuts me out. He has a problem with expressing his feelings. He tells me that he wants to see me and he misses me. I have spent time with him on 5 different occassions in the last month and we are planning a weekend trip together in a month and a half. Don’t know what to do!
