He just doesn't love me, but to humiliate me like that. He really has a mean streak.

I am actually nauseous which I sometimes get instead of or along with the gut feeling when something is very wrong. So my instinct gets it. How can a man who can get sex elsewhere without too much difficulty act like this just for sex? It's REALLY confusing. But yes, he made up with me for sex and now that he's satisfied he wants to push me away again. Makes sense.

And I feel bad about that too but she has to understand, after all she was married to his father and the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree here. There will be so many people I have to cut out of my life, at least temporarily here. And I really love his family and friends. I also know they have to go and that makes it hard too. Thank you again.
It sucks to lose people you care about because of one person's selfishness. But it's just collateral damage.

Right now the ONLY person you should worry about is YOU.

It's surreal when you're in the situation. I can read what I wrote and what everyone wrote as well the facts are dismal. But living it is a different story and we did reunite. I get it, he's not going to change, I guess he likes being single. So that answers my question, if he's going to act like a single person, of course there is not a reason I shouldn't as well. But I'm still open to comments on the current situations. I'm not denying I deserve the I told you so's.
It doesn't matter why you where drown together you realize you are oil and water, you're suppose to learn from situation like these so you better know he type of people you NEED in your life.

If you are both going to act single why even bother being together?

you will only receive for life what you seek and allow, if you allow this type of behavior or purposefully seek it out what more do you expect to gain from life?

Lack of forethought is not and excuse when you have been here before to know exactly what your getting in to

You have to realize allowing people that will harm you or not take you in to consideration is just breeding a life of nothing but

Next time find a guy who at least has the decency to do these things behind your back.

And none of that has anything to do with him, there are mean, nasty, cruel people everywhere.

It has to do with you, and why you know that and keep getting back together with him, over and over and over and over........

I don't think it will be platonic, and I'm pretty sure neither do you.

Get rid of your boyfriend and get right with yourself, alone. You are only rebounding on this other guy because you know this boyfriend is not that into you.

Nobody can love you, if you don't love you.

The definition of insanity...doing the same thing over and over then expecting a different outcome.
