To go back or not??
So I have a fairly interesting situation. I'd been in a relationship with my ex for almost two years when he suddenly broke it off. We were long distance because he is in the Coast Guard and had been transferred. I'm finishing up my graduate degree next month and our plan had been for me to move up to MA when I finished. About two months ago he pretty much freaked out and broke up with me.
I was devastated and tried to talk to him about it, but he pretty much refused and said he didn't see the point of even trying to keep our relationship together. This was obviously very hard for me to hear, but I did the best I could. I picked up the pieces and went on with my life.
About a month after we broke up I met a guy at a party that was immediately interested in me. We've been seeing each other since then, but we are not in a serious relationship.
Last week my ex told me he realized he'd made a huge mistake. He sees that he pushed me away because he was scared and that he wants me back. He knows that asking me to move up to MA is a lot, but that is what he is ultimately hoping for.
I just don't know what to do. I hadn't talked to him since he broke up and I was putting my life back together. I started looking for a job. I came to grips with the fact that I would stay here and not have to leave my family and friends. And I started seeing a new guy. This new relationship is not serious and I don't know if it will ever be, but I was excited to see what came of it.
I'm just very confused right now and I feel as if I need to make this decision soon. This is not because my ex is rushing me; he's actually being great about it. It's because I graduate in a month and I need to look for a job.
I really don't know if anyone can help me, but maybe a few words of advice is all I need. If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. And thanks for reading this long post!
