Will We Ever Get Back Together

Me and my ex-boyfriend used to date while in high school, and we broke up during high school. But now both of us are out of high school, and he's in the navy, and I'm in college. After my ex-boyfriend and I broke up we stop talking for a while, and then things pick back up with us and now we're friends. Everytime he come back home we eventually end up having sex together, and now he's coming back so that we could celebrate our birthdays together in Nov, and we have "plans" for his visit. I haven't saw him since Jan, and he tells me everything about the people he dates and everything else. I was wondering do anyone think that we'll ever get back together, or will we always be friends. Thank You

Hi Shontae ~ it sounds like you two are FWB?? And your heart is on the line too?? I'd suggest giving him some bounderies and he'll respect you more for it - like tell him you're interested in an exclusive relationship ... until you get some answers I'd stop the sex and protect yourself from further pain - if the relationship's not exclusive then you should BE CAREFUL!!! :)

I agree with the last post - sounds like a FWB relationship - if you have feelings for your ex you really do need to stop the casual sex - also, since he sees other people - please be smart and protect yourself - Question: Do you see other people?

I agree with the previous posters, but I'll go a step further and ask you to consider whether he truly considers you to be a friend. I'm wondering if there were no sex available if he'd not bother to catch up anymore. Perhaps you are just convenient as opposed to "friends with benefits"?

But I'm only guessing and only he really knows. I'd suggest that you speak to him next time you're together and find out how he really feels.
