Ex wants him back......

I started dating a wonderful man. We were friends/neighbors for 6 months before we started dating. We were pulled together because we both came from long relationships that ended, grew up in the same town and had many mutual friends. We started dating 3 months ago - at which time his ex came back. They were together 5 years, lived together for 2 - and he informed me that she left, but wanted him back. He didn't want to end things with me at this time, because he wanted to see where it went. Well 3 months later, and many wonderful dates,evenings and phone converstations, he needed to take a break from us, because she is still there and still wants him back - so he informed me that he needed to figure out unanswered questions/issue with her, but couldn't do that while dating me. He and I have really developed an amazing friendship and a begining to an even better relationship. He didn't want to close the door on us, but needed to either move on with/without her. Does anyone have any experience or advice as to what happens when the Ex is back. There is nothing I can do, and the hardest thing is we were having a great time together. Thanks.

Welcome to the board!! I'm so sorry about what happened....you must be so hurt and confused!! I've never dealt with this personally but if I were in your shoes....I'd probably try my best to move on....I think I'd be to hurt that he picked her over me to ever get back with him. I think the best thing you can do now is try to stay busy (and maybe away from home since he's your neighbor) as best you can. Try to do things that would normally cheer you up.
