This 29-year-old girl has a boyfriend who is 44, and as soon as she began seeing him, he admitted to her that his ex-girlfriend still wanted to be friends with him, even though she was not willing to accept their breakup.

To complicate things further, her boyfriend’s ex absolutely still had feelings for him, yet, he didn’t see a problem with keeping her around as a friend.

She never had an issue with her boyfriend continuing his friendship with his ex because she had no reason not to trust him.

Another thing is that her boyfriend and his ex had a puppy together that he adored, and his ex would bring the puppy over to his place so he could spend time with the puppy.

She knew her boyfriend really did miss his puppy so that also made her sympathize with him wanting to keep his ex in his life in a friendship capacity.

As she kept seeing her boyfriend, his ex happened to see her come home with him one evening, and the following day, her boyfriend’s ex came to his apartment sobbing.

His ex kept wanting to know how he could have moved on so quickly, and she insisted that she was still in love with him.

Well, one day later, her boyfriend sent her a very long text saying sorry but mentioning he needed a break from their relationship.

She was quite upset, but she got it. Three days after he sent her that, she ran into him, and he confessed to her that he really did want to date her, and he said sorry yet again. They got back together then, and things were great for the next month.

But then, her boyfriend mentioned he wanted to grab dinner with his ex so they could “catch up,” and he also wanted to check out the new car that she had got.

He did ask if she was alright with him going out with his ex, but that didn’t make her feel good about it.

“I felt a hole in my stomach when he called me, but I told him it was okay and thanked him for the honesty,” she explained.

“I later sent him a message explaining how the whole situation made me feel, and he reassured me, saying that I was all that mattered to him. Also, he told me that she doesn’t have anyone in her life since her best friend moved out of state, and her mom isn’t a very nice person.”

“Last night, we were at my house, and she started calling him, saying that the puppy was sick and asking him to come to the vet with her. I got upset, and I’m sure you could see it all over my face. We didn’t talk about it anymore for the rest of the night. He turned his cell phone off.”

Today, she found out that the puppy sadly passed away. Her boyfriend cried as he informed her, and he stated that it was wrong of him to have ignored his ex.

He feels awful, and she does too. She wishes she was “mature” and instead encouraged her boyfriend to head to the vet along with his ex.

She had no way of knowing the puppy would pass away, though, and neither did her boyfriend.

Since then, her boyfriend’s ex has been reaching out to him to call him names, and she then said he probably should go spend time with her as it is “the right thing.”

“I feel like my ego is screaming because I know they will be together soon,” she continued. “And I think he will feel guilty for a long time, and that will eventually cause damage to the relationship.”

“Sometimes I feel that I should let him go because it is a lot for me to handle when it comes to dealing with the ex. Also, knowing that she’s in pain keeps me from enjoying him 100%.”

Do you think she should end things?
