Who do I choose if I truly love both?

I have a really great boyfriend, Stanley. I have been dating him for a year a eight months now. We have made plenty of plans together and I really really like him. I’m really happy when I am around him, but we argue a lot and he has trust issues. I also catch him checking out other girls when I am around. Then there is the other guy..(You guys probably knew that was coming! LOL) His name is Johnny and he is an ex-boyfriend of mine. I dated Johnny for a year and a half. I really liked Johnny when I was dating him, but I took our relationship for granted and I ended up dating another guy over the summer while dating him. Lets just say, Johnny found out and I lost the best thing that had ever happened to me. I didn’t realize he was so good for me until I lost him. That is usually how it works! LOL) It has been over three years now that I had dated Johnny but I still think of him and me more than usual. I feel really bad because I’m dating Stanley, but I can’t help it! Anyway, here is my dilemma with Johnny.. Since I made that stupid mistake a long time ago, I don’t think he will date me again, but he still seems like he is really into me. Even though he tells me that he will never date me again. I don’t know if he just says that because I’m dating Stanley or if he really means it! i have no idea what to do. My best friend and I have sit down and wrote all the pros and cons about both of then and even thought about what all we had in common, but nothing seems to work. I’ve also tried really hard to follow my heart, but my heart keep leading me to both of them! I really need help! Please..Please..if you would, help me! My feelings are truly sincere for both of them. I just have no were to run! : (

Answer #1

The only way to know what Johnny is really thinking is to ask him. However, as the others pointed out, that won’t exactly look good since it’s kind of like you’re trying to do to Stanley exactly what you did to Johnny before.

Answer #2

In my opinion, if you dumped your bf, you would be left with nothing, because i really think your ex means what he says. Your basically in the same place again with your ex that you were when you were dating him.(involved with another guy) Why would he wanna retrace those same steps with you? There is no point even if you think he likes you. because he doesnt want to date you again. So why are you going through all this trouble trying to figure out who you wanna be with? Your ex has already made 1 decision for you! If hes not doing anything to show you he wants you back, then i suggest you stay with the sure thing (your bf)

Answer #3

I believe your ex doesn’t want you back..even you he likes you still, I believe he’s really been hurt and is being smart and doesn’t trust you. Why should he, you’re asking about you and him while you are still with Stanley (as you stated). Even Stanley has trust issues with you. If you really really love Johnny, do him a favor and leave him alone. You can’t get involved with one relationship until the other one is closed. Try to get closure with Johnny, that way you can move on with Stanley. Maybe a lot of your fighting will cease because you’re nothing thinking about another guy. Good men are hard to come by, so if Stanley is really truly a good man then try to make it work with him.
