No worries - we need to remind visitors to this thread every few pages that this is a NICE ladies thread (don't know if you ever saw the old one, it got out of hand...)
Thank you for the compliment! Yes, we ladies love our Camaros just as much - some of us, maybe even more - than you guys do...

Good morning, ladies.

I spent all night tossing and turning, trying to make one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make... and I'd love to get some advice from you all.

I'm here for about another 10 minutes, then have to get ready for work... what kind of advice?

[BowtieBelle]

Basically, it boils down to having to make a choice.

I've been seeing a great guy. Known him for years (he was friends with an ex of mine in college) and he and I have been having a wonderful time together. I like him more every day. I could see us having a great future together.

Then I have my ex, who really hurt me. I gave him multiple chances to make things right with me-- but he continued to lie, cheat on me and drink too much. To be fair to him, he has had a very rough life-- his brother died in high school, his dad abused him and his parents got an ugly divorce where his mom got nothing and raised him and his sister in poverty. We're from two different worlds. I had to let him go because I couldn't handle the alcohol, abuse and lying anymore. I've given him no less than half a dozen chances to straighten it all out and until the last time I threw him out of my house-- about a year ago-- he never did try to make it right.

Now he is recovering from alcoholism. He's stopped drinking and is getting his life straight, and I'm seeing in him glimpses of who I fell in love with five years ago, and the man I wanted to marry. But he's done so much damage and my family and friends can't stand him.

Part of me has been waiting to see if maybe he could get it right this time-- and part of me is telling I should be with other guy. I don't know what to do, and it absolutely sucks. I'm terrified that if I choose other guy and it doesn't work out, I'll have lost my last chance with ex-fiancee. But another part of me says that it'll work out with new guy, who makes me very happy, and that my ex had his chance and I need to just really, truly let him go and go be happy with new guy.

I don't know what to do :(

Be happy with the one who treats you right. You deserve that. And don't allow yourself to get sucked in by the "hard life" excuses. Alcoholism is one of the few diseases you actually have a choice in, and though he's trying to straighten out, and seems to be making the right choices now, the damage your ex has done is already there. He didn't make the right choice back when he should have. Your family wants to protect you, and it's doubtful the ex will ever be able to make amends enough to change their minds.
What is your gut telling you? Not your heart. Our hearts are often wrong in things like this...

Girl I could go on and on about this. My advice is to foget about the ex, but you need to follow your heart. I was fighting with this same thing for the last several months but I know in my heart that my ex would just go back to being the ass he always was. I had to let go to see that someone could treat me as wonderful as G. I say give the new guy a chance you never know he could be the one and if it doesn't work out then it wasn't meant to be.

[BowtieBelle]

Yeah, my heart has been wrong about him so many times before....

My gut is saying to go with new guy...

THIS! I went to dinner with my ex a few times after we broke up. Everytime it ended in a fight. The last time I went to our house to pick up some of my belongings, we fought and he followed me 35 minutes away to my apartment to talk. Haven't talk to him since. I didn't realize I could be happy with someone until I got out of that relationship. For the first time in my life I actually want to get married. I was asked 2 times and both times I said no. I just couldnt' see myself settling down and having children with either guy.

[BowtieBelle]

I have been honest with my ex and told him everything I've told you all. He said that no guy has ever gotten as many chances as I've given him and he just wants me to be happy despite how much it will hurt him. He said he knows he had his shot and he knows he's done too much damage to me, my family and my friends; he says he'll always be there for me whatever I do, but that he's never loved anyone more than me. :(

This. Follow you're heart and head. Keep this in mind Sarah. Say you go back with your ex. you're always gonna wonder what he is doing, where he is, and if he is lying about what he is telling you. You don't deserve to put yourself thru all that.

At the same time I know people that have gotten back togeather years later and are better than ever. It's your descion on only one you can make. You just have to weigh everything out and do waht's best for you
