Nerve Dating Confessions

January 2, 12:00AM So I've been dating an amazing guy that I can really see a future with, not my usual type but completely amazing. Then my ex shows up again begging for me back, bought a house and wants to "start our life together" completely torn... What should I do?! #needadvice CAN RELATE (2) CAN'T RELATE (2) FLAG FOR ABUSE

OP- Why'd you break up with the boyfriend in the first place? Going with HGW, an ex is for a reason. Go with your gut.

but the ex BOUGHT A HOUSE presumably for you. What else do you want.... a pony?

We broke up because he was finalizing his divorce (after being separated for a year and a half) and going through a custody battle for his daughter. He was obviously stressed and said he needed time. We remained friends on and off but then I found out he was dating someone else.. Now he's back...

Fuck that, he's not going to change. He brought the house, and going to bring his conquests there. Move on !!!

As most have said, the ex is an ex for a reason. It's been said that "sometimes giving someone a 2nd chance is like giving them a 2nd bullet when they missed you with the first one".

OP, ask yourself this. When you are are both 95 and need help chewing your food, is he the guy you want to wipe the drool off your face and are you willing to wipe the drool off his face? If the answer is no, thank him for his offer and decline.
