alright... this is a very long and complicated story... so bare with me lol
last year i met this guy at a party. we were instantly attracted to each other and i came to find out that he had a girlfriend (who was at the party as well). they've been together almost 6 years and you could tell things with them weren't going well. they acted more like best friends than lovers. anyways, he ended up moving back to his hometown across the country 2 weeks later with her (this was already planned before we met).
once he got there, we started talking. all of our friends could tell we were into each other, we flirted like crazy at the party. we were talking and the chemistry was unbelievable. he ended up leaving his girlfriend and we continued talking. the problem was, with all the years they were together, they formed quite a large amount of debt. also, he didn't have any where else to live (lots of family issues) so he stayed with her and her family. our relationship remained a secret for months. only his family and certain friends knew about us because the ex would threaten to not help out with the debt and kick him out if he was with me. anyways, 6 months go by as a secret, long distance. during christmas time i was on the east coast visiting family so he came down and spent a few days with me. our relationship was AMAZING. my friends and family loved him and his loved me. we got along so well and we were already talking about kids and marriage and stuff (even to his family). he told me he was falling in love with me within days of us first talking.
well the ex found out he was visiting me at christmas and blew a gasket. when he returned she told him that if he does not get back together with her she will kick him out and not pay anymore for the debt. he had no job at the time because he had a plane ticket to visit me for 3 weeks. we ended up breaking up because of the "bad timing" and he left me saying "we will be together again, i just need to fix my life first"
they are back together, him saying she "guilted" him into it. when i asked him if she was his "forever" he couldn't answer... but with me, he told his family all the time about us being together forever. his friends and family HATE her. he even told me a few weeks ago that he wasn't going to marry her.
i feel like everything got ripped away from me. i know we'd be together today if she didn't get in the way. i'm at the point where i don't know what to do. i love him to death. it really was love at first sight for the both of us. and he always says it was "bad timing". i just don't know where to go from here. they are together now and i know that.... but am i out of the picture forever? his friends keep saying he is "trapped" because of the debt, but is it possible that he really wants to be with her?
i don't know what to think honestly. we were SO happy together, the only problems in our relationship resulted cuz of her. i don't want to give up on this amazing love, i just need some opinions. do you think they are going to be together for good? is he really done with me? what should i do?
i know this is mega confusing! lol thanks for taking your time to read it!
