Frankly speaking, your ex is bullshitting you and the whole he still loves you, you will never find someone like him is the most common line in the book. The point is, its over and i think you wanna keep it that way. If i were you, i would pick up the phone and scream at my ex, throw away all that stuff he gave me and not call him again. If he cant handle himself, why should i blame myself?

As for this friend, i mean jeez, what are you doing girl? You’re having a good time and thats great but lets face it, its probably a rebound and you need comfort. Why are you settling for anyone who happened to make you feel good? Put your foot down and decide whats best for you, what you want in a relationship – if either your friend or ex is not giving you the commitment or respect or love you need, walk away.

Seriously, you deserve better any day! Its not that hard if you think about what you truly need.

Hi Dee,

Your ex knows that he’s giving you unwarranted crap. And you should know that he was just pissed that it seemingly took you so little time to get over him. Of course, he can’t actually say that so he’s making out like you’re a liar and a cheat.

The next time he abuses you, say, “We broke up and you know it”. Keep repeating that line when pressed. Say nothing else. It’s called The Broken Record Technique and it (eventually) works!

As for the friend, it was a rebound, and Valentine’s Day just highlights that fact. I would let that one call/contact you. But be on Formal Mode when you do talk to or see him. If he tries to get closer, say “You had your chance” and mean it. Instant Respect will be yours.

Hold your Head Up,

Inky
