Dear Miss Nose-It-All
I have recently been caught up in a little thing called love. The only problem is that I took two people along for the ride. When I broke up with my boyfriend about a month ago, I began talking to another guy who seemed to have it all. When my ex began to try and get me back, I started to feel all the great things I had with him, and I began to question myself. At that point, I began seeing him again, trying to work out all our differences b/c it was him that I wanted to be with, not the guy I was presently talking to. Here's my problem, Miss Nose-It- All...instead of telling the guy I was talking to about my ex and that I didn't want to be with him, I took him along for the ride b/c I was too scared to tell him that I still had feelings for my ex. So I talked to both for a while, reassuring myself that one day I would get the courage to be honest with the new guy. Well, before that day came, they found out that I was talking to both of them, and THAT'S when WWIII began. They call me a player, a pimp...but I am none of those things. Just a girl that got in way over her head in a situation that spun out of control. I want to get my ex back, but I am afraid it's too late now b/c he may never trust me again! What can I do to make him realize how much I really do love and care about him? Help me Miss Nose-It-All.....I am about to go crazy!
Sincerely,
Crazy in Love
Dear Crazy:
You don't think you're Beyonce do you? I am just checking. It sounds like you have leaped before you looked. This happens to the best us. It's important that you realize that you're a good person, even when you make bad decisions. It seems like you may be a little unclear as to what it is that you really want. Sometimes we want Superman; and other times, Clark Kent. Don't feel bad about being confused. Figure out what you're truly feeling. You should also make a commitment to the truth from here on out because the truth is liberating. Now, your wanting to get back in a relationship with one of the guys is extremely difficult. Men are 10 percent sweat and 90 percent ego, so it's very difficult for them not to trip over their egos. No guy feels like he is replaceable, and you definitely made your guy feel like he is. You need to spend some time making him aware of all the ways in which he counts in your life. A little ego strokin' is what the old folks say. Give him a little time, and if he doesn't warm up, give it up!
