I've been absent from this thread for a while now, but I have something to share. Not ask advice on, because I think I know what I should do, just share.
Some context first:
a. I was dating this girl, we dated for 2 years. In march she broke up with me because she didn't like the way I dressed to work/uni (flip flops and shorts most of the time, Its fucking hot here in Recife) and said she deserved someone better, someone who "gave more of a shit about their looks" (her words). I understood that, but I'am busy as fuck between getting my masters and work, so dressing up is not (and will not be for the forseeable future) a priority to me. So it's cool.
Two weeks later she wanted to be back together. I said yes because I still liked her a lot. Turns out it didn't work. She was treating me like crap, and I gave it to her straight saying if it was going to be like this I didn't want any of it. We had a huge fight. She complained about how she had to endure my sadness (when we started dating I had just ended another long relationship) and now I don't even want to change for her. So we broke up again and we didn't speak until last week.
b. I had a couple of balls rolling since the breakup. I went on 2 dates with the "magic" girl I talked about earlier in this thread, I had fun, but I wasn't feeling it, so I just moved on. The one that stuck with me was a date I had last month with this casual acquaintance that I also talked about in the thread. I asked her out, the date was awesome for me, but we didn't keep in touch. I didn't get too hung on it because that's just how it goes. Turns out she did like the date, it was just that she was going through though times with her family. So we went on a few more dates these past weeks. She is awesome and I really like her. We are not on a serious relationship yet and we haven't had sex yet, but we have kissed.
c. I still like my ex. I mean, we did fight and she did say some nasty stuff. But these 2 years we dated were awesome, we hardly fought and she was one hell of a companion, getting me through some really tough shit.
Now, to the present. Last week my ex said she wanted to talk, I said ok. We met at a restaurant near her place, we ate and talked a bunch. She said she was sorry, and that she wanted to break up because she felt she was way too young for a commitment like that and that she wanted to be with other guys too (I was the first and only person she ever had sex with) but she didn't want to propose an open relationship because she knew I'd be hurt (and I would). After that she said there were some stuff of mine still in her place (mainly games, I lent her the last of us and GTA V on the PS3, games which I didn't really want back) and that I should go pick up. So I went. Getting there I didn't even get the stupid games, instead we had sex.
The thing is, she doesn't want a relationship, and I feel like I've let myself fall for her again. I love her, but I know that this will only hurt me. I don't want a freaking open relationship, I'll only get hurt because I won't be able to be with anybody else and she'll go around beign with other guys. And the other thing is I can't even look this other girl in the eye anymore, I haven't seen her since our last date a week ago, but now responding to her texts is getting freaking hard. I feel disgusting as fuck. I know I should just move on, cut all contact with my ex and just tell the truth to this more recent girl, but this is so hard and I feel so much like shit.
Life sucks GAF.
PS: Sorry for my terrible english and awful formatting. I'm only good at short texts, when I go long I become worse and worse.
