I broke up with my long term boyfriend over a year ago and hadn't really met anyone who held my attention. Last month, I met a guy in my facutly and we started seeing each other for about 2 weeks before it was obvious that we were seeing each other exclusively.
We had been together for a month when Valentines day showed up. He wanted to take me out for dinner and bought chocolates but did everything on the day before Valentines day.
I was curious as to why.... turns out he broke up with his first love (a 5 year relationship) a month before we met and had promised to spend the day with her. He had never mentioned anything about an ex until i questioned him.
He has since apologized and said that he really is interested in continuing our relationship.
Should I forgive him for hiding his past from me and see where it goes. OR Should I break it off because he couldn't possibly be over her and I would always be compared to her?

Hello.
I believe the guy took a prudent course of action. He didn't want to expose you to an information that is not very useful and that would make you worry for not compelling reason. While honesty is a better policy, try to understand where he is coming from.
Further, his conduct in no way indicates that he is not over her and that he will be comparing you to her. It would simply be way too much to assume based on that fact alone that he didn't share with you his recent relationship.
Thanks,
