Dont mess with my man

I'm in a long distance relationship and its only been 2 months so far. My boyfriend and I are having the biggest arguments and problems more than ever now. He wants to separate and take it day by day. I want to work it out, he says he loves me still and I feel the same way. The thing is there is another woman that he met 3 days ago that is just finding her way to call or see him. I told him how hurt I feel for him to even talk to her but he says we aren't together anymore. I feel like this other woman is distracting him and making me look like "old news". He tells me he loves me and she isn't like me but she does make him feel happy and he likes to be around her. Am I fooling myself here? How do I get rid of her? I feel helpless because I am not there with him physically anymore to show him I am the one for him.

Even if you could "get rid of her", there are always other women. This is not about the women, it's about your bf. He wants to see other people. If it's not her, it will be someone else.

Have you been separated for 2 months or is 2 months the total of your relationship? Just curious, because either way, you should move on. He's being honest. He doesn't want a long distance relationship, he wants to see other people. Be good to yourself...don't grovel or beg...say "ok, nice knowing you" and move on. It will be hard, but you deserve better.

Hon, 2 months and he's already met someone new? He's not being distracted, he wants to be distracted and wants to date others.... let him go as hard as it is. Take yourself out of the equation.
