    This goes deeper than I thought....

    I don't really wanna have to keep asking for advice but I think I need to once again....

    Yesterday, I broke up with my SO on the pretense that he had lied, tricked me and cheated on me. But in actual fact it turns out that wasn't the case...

    What happened was I was on Facebook just listening to music and relaxing after doing a lot of my university assignment and I was taking a break. I'd sent a text message to my SO not 15 minutes before asking how he was. A few moments later, a notification came up on my web browser saying that he'd changed his relationship status from "in a relationship" with me to "single." My first thought was what the hell is going on here, so I messaged him since he was online and asked him what was going on cause I was completely confused. He had absolutely no reason to do that since there'd been no arguments between us and things were just fine between us. I got no reply and the next moment he went offline. I pretty much just scratched my head at that point and found myself sitting stunned in my officer chair in front of my computer.

    A few minutes later, I got a message from his ex, Jd, who he'd been in a relationship with for 4 years prior to meeting me. They'd split up awhile back, and my ex SO Chris M had been stalked by Jd at least twice. Although he'd reported Jd to the police, nothing had been done and nothing could be done due to a "lack of evidence". This I only found out later. Jd messaged me on Facebook saying that Chris M had gone to bed at 6am that morning and he'd moved to Atlanta so that they could live together. Jd also stated that he loved Chris M a lot. I told Jd that I knew exactly who he was. I think he was pretty chewed off, because Chris M had found someone else, because he made it evidently clear when he messaged me. I gathered from what he'd said that Chris M had been lying behind my back and that he was cheating on me, and I was hurt by that. I don't forgive cheaters or liars, so I wasn't willing to give Chris M another chance.

    However, he messaged me earlier this morning and said "Damn, I missed you again didn't I?" when I didn't reply to his hello. I was fast asleep at the time. When I had the chance, I messaged him back, even though I didn't really want to, telling him why he'd missed me and that we needed to talk. I only wanted to talk to find out why, after the negative things he'd told me about Jd that he'd cheat on me for him....I can understand now the fact that because Jd lives with him now that he'd have the temptation to do that, but at the time I wasn't aware of this fact. It just didn't make sense to me.

    I'd stopped texting him and he must have quickly picked up on that fact. When I went on Facebook this evening, we had a conversation and it went like this:

    Me: We need to talk....

    Him: About what? o.o anything bad? o.o if its about the relationship status thing it wasnt me i swear (I later find out that it was Jd who got hold of Chris's phone, saw my text, went on his Facebook page, changed the status then switched to his profile to message me again....why? -_-)

    Me: Yeah its about that, i got a message from JD yesterday, he told me you'd moved to Atlanta cause of him
    and that you guys were back together and that he loved you. i gathered he went on your profile and changed the relationship status before he messaged me. what am i supposed to think Chris? =/ well i just read Jd's wall...im thoroughly confused now (Jd's Facebook wall is public and everyone can see it and there was a post on there about him being cheated on by Chris because he was with me and that he was angry and feeling hurt...I was beginning to lose track of understanding by this point...>.>) Could you help me understand whats going on cause im lost....?

    Him: ok that guy that did that he was the one that i ended it with but he still thinks just because im living with him there's still something there >< thats not tue....now with that said whatever he says is not true.....we are not together ><

    I asked him where that left us and he said he still wanted us to be together. I told him I didn't think I was cut out for it, that I'd been hurt too much one last time, and that I didn't want to fight any longer cause even though I cared about him, I just didn't feel like I could manage trying again after this. He told me he's willing to fight the strain of being under the same roof as Jd (which I don't really get but he said it's the only way the jackass is gonna stop following him around everywhere) and that he doesn't want me to give in cause he loves me. He said he wanted to talk to me on msn, face to face, so reluctantly I agreed and we talked for over 2 hours, talking through things.

    He says I'm a strong woman and that he thinks I can get through this, and that he wants this to work, but I don't know if my heart can take it anymore. I'm torn in two, quite literally, for reasons I can't explain here without making the thread into an even bigger essay than it is.

    I just don't know what to do. He wants to give things another go, but I'm not sure. Can anyone offer me advice?

    I'm sorry, I don't want you to take what I am about to say the wrong way, but this is very confusing with a lot of seemingly unnecessary drama. Is he living with this person?

      Is there any way he can move out? Honestly living with your ex is never a good idea.

        I know, I couldn't agree more to be honest...

        Yes, he is right now. I just don't get it either...

          Does he have a reason for living with his ex? And why didn't he tell you (as I understood it from your OP)? Also, when you say JD stalked him twice, did Chris tell you this while you two were dating, or after you found out about JD?

            He can't afford his own place right now cause he's unemployed, I know he's made an application to work at Six Flags but he hasn't had anything back from them as of yet and he won't hear anything until Jan.

              I'm a bit confused by the story as well. But, for me, moving in with his ex without telling you about it would be grounds for ending the relationship.

                I'm not sure why he's living with his ex if I'm completely honest. It's all a bit confusing even for me to try and understand, I'm just trying to voice it all as best I can. I don't know why he didn't tell me either, it just doesn't add up.

                And no, he never told me he'd been stalked by Jd. By the way he told me things had ended, it sounded as though something happened but I didn't know what and although I tried to ask, he felt uncomfortable broaching the subject. I had to find out the hard way.

                  If by "the hard way," you mean after this fiasco or through JD, I'd honestly consider letting Chris go. It's one thing if he told you all this prior to what happened, but it's entirely different if you found out about it during or after, put simply because if he was honest about what had happened from the get-go, it's quite possible you really are dealing with a crazy ex versus Chris reaching for any excuse he can possibly find... although even then, I have to say, it's hard for me to take "he stalked me!11!!1one" seriously when he's living with the lad. I have been in a position where I have been stalked, albeit online, but it was still terrifying, and I would never in my right mind dream of having any consensual contact with the man who stalked me. If JD truly stalked Chris M., I can't see them talking, let alone living together.

                  Personally, I don't think the reasoning should even matter. The fact of the matter is this all happened less than a month into your relationship with someone you've only known, correct me if I'm wrong, a couple months? Three months tops? And he's living with an ex-boyfriend? Even if he's telling you the truth, it still sounds like a lot of drama, and to me, that's a huge red flag in such a young, young relationship.

                    I would be really upset that he's living with his ex and didn't tell you, can you talk about this a little more? Does he have no options?
                    Why would you choose to live with someone who stalked you? Something isn't right here.

                      I'm extremely confused. I'd offer advice but I'm too confused.

                        I agree with you, Eclaire. I just don't understand how he could live with an ex of his to be honest, it just doesn't add up. Considering what you've said and what others have said, best thing to do is just let it go.

                          Forget about the ridiculous, convoluted, confusing story for a moment, it's irrelevant. There is a simple answer to your dilemma, if you are completely 100% honest with yourself that is. Ask yourself if, after all this crap, can you ever again truly trust this guy? Will you always have to wonder about what he really might be doing? Are you going to be spending your spare time face stalking him and over-analyzing every comment left for him and that he leaves for others? If he gets a job, are you going to question whether he's really at work, like he said?

                          Once the trust is gone, and you have to spend your days worrying about being lied to, the relationship is no longer worth it. Why stay in something that makes you sad and stressed all the time? If, after all of this, the trust is shattered and you always have to wonder if he's lying to you, it's time to let it go.
                          Our separation of each other is an optical illusion of consciousness. ~Albert Einstein

                            Okay I am sorry but I am very confused. Okay first question is your SO Chris M bisexual? 'Cause from what I took from that JD is a guy? So they were once lovers?
                            I only ask because it changes my advice completely. 'Cause is Chris M is straight and he's just living with a buddy who doesn't like you that's unfortunate but there's really not much you can do besides trust your SO. But if your SO is bisexual and JD was his ex-lover I find it very strange that they are living together...and what circumstance would lead them to having to move states to live with one another...something sounds fishy there.
