Should I Stay Or Go?

I don’t know whether I should stay or go! I’ve been with this guy for about 4 months. We’ve broken up 3 times and every time it is for the same reason…he is still in love with his ex and can’t seem to let her go. A month after we started dating I found out he was trying to get back with his ex the entire time we were together. I really cared about him and I really wanted things to work between us so I gave him another chance. I made him promise me that he needs to be honest, let her go and that he can’t talk to her if he wants to be with me. Almost a month later I found out that he was still trying to get back with her. I was really upset, I cried and called it off. I got a really good job offer in another state. I was ready to go when out of nowhere he calls and wanted to work things out. I told him I was leaving and that’s when he started begging me to stay and asking for another chance. He apologized for everything and promised me again that he won’t do it again. I rejected the job and I stayed for him. A little over 2 weeks ago I found out he was trying to get back with her again! I called it off and agreed to never go back to him. He has lied and hurt me one to many times. Now I have another job offer out of state and am leaving soon. I spoke to his ex and she told me she wants nothing to do with him. He recently called me again begging me not leave and promising he would let her go and devote everything to me. He told me he’s still in love with her but he can let go and he wants to let go. I honestly still care for him and I know I’m such a fool for still holding on. I’m ready to leave in a week and he’s making it so hard for me to do so. What do you think I should do? Should I stay and work it out or should I go.

Well he may be may or may not be cured of his ex. He still says he loves her, however since she wants nothing to do with him, their relationship seems over for good. You can give it one more try with the idea that this is the last time, or you can just move. How much you leave the door open is up to you, however this guy needs to get serious about you. Simply pleading for you to stay and having you around seems to be a just a comfort thing to him. My feeling is that you should go to the new job and new state and see if he is willing to continue the relationship on a long distance basis. That way you’ll really see how much he cares for you. If your relationship evolves with those parameters then perhaps he is serious and he could move to the state you’re working in, or you could move back. In any event you wouldn’t have that constant yoyo feeling and you said it was a good job which is about you. Remember it’s not all about him.
