Ok, I have a problem. It bothers me because I really mostly am a problem free person. I dunno whats wrong with me and would appreciate level headed opinions:

I have been in a long distance relationship for a long time. Now I came over to where my bf lives to start our lives together. In that period, apart, he broke up with me once. Then he took it back like three days later. That hurt me quite a bit and I thought something broke in our relationship but chose to go on with it and try to mend it. I really have feelings for him. Now, I started talking friendly to a guy on the internet, nothing indecent, all proper, about our lives and sharing thoughts and whatnot. It evolved into talking telephone conversations as friends that I find deeply fulfilling. Somehow, my feelings for this person have grown, and I feel really strange about it, because I know I may just be idealizing someone I don’t even know. All of this is happening in the midst of me finding out that my bf cheated on me twice while we where apart, and the thing about it is that during these years I gave him the space to tell me about any such thing happening if it did and every time he chose to lie and tell me that he held his ground.
He feels hurt also because he found out about me talking to other people on the net, so he says we re kinda even, that his fling happened over a year ago, and that he cannot live without me. I really don’t know what to do. I certainly have feelings for my bf even If I feel that things are just a bit too complicated and they are not the same as they once where. Meanwhile I feel a great deal of responsibility for how he expresses his love for me and how terribly hurt hell be if I leave. And then the fact that I think A LOT about this other guy I met on the internet, that mind u lives like 250 miles away from me.

Hahaha, I know, this all sound so pathetic! I relly have no one to talk to about this because I just recently moved from another freaking continenet. It sucks. Im freaking confused. Advice?
 
No need to fret about this, Criskre. If your boyfriend broke up with you once and cheated on your twice then there is really no reason to stay with him, especially if you've found that your feelings have grown for somebody else.

And no, talking with somebody online is NOT even with cheating. Not even close.

I say cut it off with your boyfriend because he sounds like a real dick, give yourself time to heal, and start over with somebody else.
 
For the record, idealizing people you talk to on the internet is very common...hell, I do it all the time. (Mind you, the person I tend to idealize lives like 500 feet away in another dorm). While I could technically say that I know her well, I really have no idea, because outside of school I rarely ever actually see her. Plus, I can just sense that if I ever actually hung out with her, I'd really lost every bit of interest in the friendship. If, however, I really had a gut feeling about it, it would be a much more difficult situation.

We were on a break...

I have to agree with Olimario. Yes, it hurts.

PS: is it someone from GAF?
 
Hahaha, no we where not on a break. The thingabout me: Im not an angel, I have my dark sieas but I also know when to draw the line. I think I apply my ethics to others with absolutelly no remorse. If for me flirting is not cheating I apply it to the person thats with me and think its ok for me to go on and not tell about that situation. Its kinda fucked up, I know it.

Oli, thx. But the deal is this: the person I am with is a really good man. In spite of all of that went on. He waited 3 years for me, cheated twice. I can forgive that, in spite of him lying about it and have no doubt in my mind he loves me too much for his own good. I mena, yesterday he cried like a baby.

This other guy, he is complicated. He had a dificult past. But Ill be damned if he is not just fucking beautiful and if his laugh doesnt make me die, u know? And I really dont know how interested he is. hahaha, actually I think he is the kinda person that because of what he went throgh is emotionally unavailable. And that is a red flag for me. Its complicated man.

He's already proven he's capable of lying and cheating... The view from the outside in says that he's emotionally abusive and will continue to be. I, like you, am a very stable and happy person. I would NOT want to be with somebody that damaged who I am.

And he may love you, but it's not worh it.

Just my view... I'm sure you'll be able to handle things.
 
Well, I may have given that impression but really, no. The guy fucked up but he si hurt and so much in love with me that it is making me uncomfortable. He really now gives me his all. He wants to be with me 24/7. Really. The thing is that I dont know how I feel about that, and am sometimes uncomfortable by this.
 
Don't even think about it -- just dump the fucker.
 
To help you figure out what to do, ask yourself this; if your internet lover was not an option, rather they were unavailable to you and they were going to remain so, would you still leave your boyfriend if you meant you were going to be alone?
 
I'd say she is better off alone than being used/played. The guy did it twice... he's bound to do it again when the opportunity arises.
 
I'd have to agree with everyone else on this. You're not in a very good position to make a decision. Like they say: love is blind. You need to take an unbias view on the situation. If this was a close friend telling you this was happening to them, what would you tell them?
