    He's an EX, but..

    Some of you may remember about a month and a half ago I broke up with my SO because I caught him on a dating site, among other things I had found out about him. Just a little back history before I explain my current situation...
    We met on a chat-avatar site called IMVU last year and started talking with the intent to meet up and become a couple in early March. Before we met in March, we were just in the talking phase, but I was having problems with him lying and not be honest with me about other people he had met/flirted around with online. We have a lot of problems, but he said if we got together he knew he would do better, we dated for a good couple of months until about July, where we had taken a couple of weekend trips and I though things were changing for the better. In July, I discovered he was back online with the same people from before cheating on me again, so I ended this and refused to speak to him. Long story short of him seeming sorry, I forgave him and we worked it out. We dated again and everything seemed well until I got back from one of my trips, he decided he wanted a "break" because he wasn't sure that a LDR was for him. I accused him of cheating because that's what always happened when we split up, so we took a break for about a week, and then he came back crying as usual saying he made a mistake and everything, and he agreed to enroll in some group counseling to try to figure out why he was cheating constantly. Flash forward to end of Sept and I was informed he had a account on okcupid looking for sex partners. I was hurt of course, because before it was always cyber flirting, this time he was willing to cheat in person with someone. I ended this with him for good, we did not talk for three weeks, until he decided to try to be friends. I have tried talking to him but I don't want to be with him anymore because he will never change. He texts me all day everyday, and it's so hard for me not to respond because I still love him despite everything and he says he does too, but can't be with me currently until he gets himself together. I know I can do better than a serial cheater, but I could really use some advice because all of this is tearing me apart. I will just add most of the time he blamed me for his cheating, the would take it back at the end of a fight. He is 26 mind you and lives one state over, his mother would not let him come to visit alone, but yet I went there alone and I am 23. She brought him each time, this was a fight because I told him to stop being a child and grow up. He thought it was "best" to listen to them. He also has a female friend he met on IMVU 5 years prior to me that he's never met in person, but he couldn't understand that sending her letters, texting her all day was wrong...someone please give me some solid advice to either get him out of my life or to get him to understand that he's just confusing my heart. :/

    Feelings aside, this guy is not a winner. He is not worth the effort to keep him in your life as a friend. I recommend that you tell him to stop contacting you, if you haven't already, and if he doesn't, block his number.

    He sounds like a whole world of misery - a cheater, a momma's boy in the worst way, and completely disrespectful. Just cut him out and don't give him a chance to 'get himself together'. He had the chance to do that and screwed it up! You deserve way better.

      I've told him before, but he always says something to make me come back, and whole thing is I know he's a bad person as far as what I need, I just don't know how to get it in me to stop it altogether. I'm trying to figure out what are his motives since he doesn't want to be together currently but still always contacts me.

        He seems like he doesn't care enought about you to not cheat on you. And you know they always say "once a cheater, always a cheater." My suggestion to you is block all contact with him- block his phone number, facebook, etc. So then he has no way of contacting you and it gives you time to move on and clear your head.

        Don't let him suck you back in, because he doesn't deserve someone like you!

          Thank you I'm trying to get to that point, it seems like I'm getting there slowly but surely, it's just difficult when you had good times together and that is all you can remember.

            My best advice is to delete him from your life. Unfriend him on facebook, delete and block his cellphone number, etc. Whatever you have to do to move on. Obviously he is not a good boyfriend, and since he blames you for his cheating it sounds like he's borderline emotionally abusive.

              This. Cut him off completely so he has no way of contacting you, that way he won't sucker you back in. If you don't do this, then I guess you enjoy the way he treats you.

                This.

                I understand that it's hard. Trust me, I'm going through being contacted by an ex and it is hard not to respond, but it would be a hell of a lot harder if I actually gave in. The more you give in, the more you let your mind wander and fantasise about the "what if"s. The more you give in, the more time you have to fall in love with the mere idea of who you want them to be, losing sight temporarily of who they are. All being in contact with them does is give you false hope, tug at your heartstrings, and tear open old, messy, and painful wounds. You know he's not going to change, so that's where it should start and stop. You don't need to know why he's texting you, and quite frankly, if you did? It'd probably hurt even more. When a relationship degenerates to the point yours has (or mine), any attempt at contact is for reasons like comfort/familiarity, convenience, etc. - none of which are particularly flattering. I would say disable your texts or block his number if you use texting for people other than him, block his number so he can't call, delete him from FB, Skype, and any other form of communication you two have. Out of sight isn't always out of mind, but it's the first step towards getting there.
