Hello all. I am new to this forum. I am posting be caused in am confused about what to do in this situation.
I have been with a girl for six years now. We have talked about marriage and all, but the timing was never right. Last year, I had the opportunity to go back to school. I moved to Boston and she stayed home. A few months ago, we decided it was best to break it off (at least for the time being) because our career paths are taking us in very different directions. It was a mutual decision, and I think it is for the best. I love her, but it is not fair to ask her to wait for me until I am able to move back home (she has some great opportunities there and is not willing to move).
Where the real confusion comes in is that I met someone at work that I am interested in. Although we met a year ago and I thought she was attractive, I didn't entertain the idea of being with her until recently. A couple of months ago, she and her boyfriend also broke up. We started talking more and flirting and now are in contact every day either seeing each other in person or texting. I am now finding that I can't stop thinking about her and I want to tell her how I feel. A couple of days ago, however, she was injured and is now unable to drive. Her exboyfriend has been driving her around and although she hasn't said it, I think they may be getting back together. I am also still in constant contact with my ex.
So, to sum up, we are both still involved with our exes to some extent. I really like her, but honestly don't know if she feels the same. I still love my ex and feel torn between these two women. I am posting this mostly because I need to get it off my chest. But I would appreciate any advice! Should I be open and honest and tell her how I feel? Should I try to just forget her and move on even though I see her at least three days a week at work? Very confused and torn. Thanks!
