    Yeah... I think I screwed up pretty badly. I was dating this girl (long-distantly) and we've been together for about a month or so. She was pretty cool, but I guess I "rushed" too much into the relationship; she didn't really do anything, luckily. Then, I was talking to my ex (again, another long-distant one) and realize that I still loved her; she always made me so happy and stuff, but something happened that split us up (that's a different story altogether).

    Well, anyway, this is where I make my mistake. I wanted to get back with my ex 'cause of the reasons above, then want to break up with my current girlfriend... she took it a bit hard. So, me and her kind of argue a bit and then he hates me. Soon, after that, I try to ask my ex out again, turns out she has someone already... I was devastated. All that "drama" for nothing. Nothing at all. I ruin my relationship with my girlfriend both as that and a friend. Luckily, my ex and her boyfriend are in an "open relationship", so I don't think he cares if she has another whatever... I hope.

    Has this ever happened to you? If it has, how did you deal with it?

    Case in point, never get back together with your ex's. It only leads to more problems.

    Well, the good thing is that she also loves be back and is going to figure out stuff with her bf. Plus, my "then" girlfriend... she just didn't click with me. I mean, we got along with each other fine, but I guess we were just too different. It's a bit hard to explain.

    Let me get this straight. You break up with your current gf to go back with your ex, who is seeing another guy and she is planning on breaking up with him to get back together with you...you are creating way too much drama.

    I will feel bad for the guy if she does break up with him.

    It's not a good idea going back to your ex because if you break up with your current one and then your ex doesn't like you, then you have now 2 problems to handle. My opinion is to stay with the one you had.

    My brother's best friend went out with this girl in 6th grade.
    She broke up with him.
    Caused drama and they got into a fight, but they were friends again.
    Went back out in 8th grade(he left the school in 7th).
    She broke up with him again.
    Caused bigger drama, and the same happened.
    Went out in 8th again and he broke up with her.
    She hated him for a while, and they're friends again now.
    Don't go back out with ex's.
    It causes drama!

    I don't have any experience with this, but you should either apologize to the girlfriend you broke up with or move on

    Yes, but the fact that there's drama screams relational immaturity. Ex's are awesome when you grow up.

    This has never happened to me becasue I was very cautious and didn't get involved with the dating scene until I got older. I was to involved with my studies and other activities. If I were to have your kind of situtation I would move on and find someone who would accept me for who Iam. When it is not meant to be then it is time to move on. Why stress over something you can't control especially if she is going to give you another chance. I say forget about her, don't dwell on it and find someone else who would make you happier.

    Well, that is a situation and I think that well...if I were you I would stop and think for a bit here. You wanted to go out with your ex so you broke up with the girlfriend you had. She has a right to be resentful to you for that and maybe you can talk to her to take you back, but seriously, if you were willing to dump her for another girl without even knowing if this other girl was already taken or not, you don't seem to place much value on that relationship. I would suggest you think on that and think on the reasons you actually like this girl. Don't go out with someone basically if you feel that you could just dump her for someone else like that. It's not very fair at all to the girl.

    However, if you feel that you do like her more now, try talking things out with her and explaining things straight up and that you were foolish. Tell her you'd want to be at least her friend and try to work back to more. If you don't feel these things though, let her go. Be alone for a while and get your head straight. If she says no, that's what you are going to have to do anyway.

    As for the other girl... I would tell you to avoid 'open relationships' at all costs unless you are absolutely into that sort of thing. They are a pain in the butt and also how they work is that the two dominant people of the relationship, male and female, they can go out with others, but at the same time, they are the two that are most prominent, so you will -always- be second fiddle. It really is not worth the hassle emotionally so I'd advise against it and look elsewhere if this other girl doesn't take you back. It's a rough spot to be in but sometimes we learn things this way and well, you can bounce back. You may, as said before, need some time to think through things if that other girl doesn't want to talk to you now. Either way though, do take the time to think and sort things out in your own self and ensure to yourself that you don't date a girl basically that you can just toss away for another. If you have strong feelings for another girl, you aren't really ready to date a new one. She just by nature becomes a fill-in. Hope that makes sense to you and I also hope you feel better about things.
