So My boyfriend had been spending time with his ex again recently.
some back ground on her is that theyve known eachother since freshman year.
Freashman year was a hard time for him.
She helped him through.
They got into a relationship.
It was on and off for a reason James didn't know at the time.
So finally sophmore year, hes tired of dealing with the on off
and Cathy had her eye on someone else.
So, they agreed to seperate and follow their hearts.
James to me and Cathy (his ex) to Jake.
Since then both me and James, and Cathy and Jake
have had amazing relationships.
Theyve Had their ups and downs,
but were so in love.

Since then James never talked to cathy after that
because of all the mean things she did to him during the relationship.
So now, James and Cathy are trying to play nice and be friends.
Before they hung out he was grounded for 3 weeks,
I missed him and even though I'd seen him on tuesday
I wanted to spentd wednesday with him.
But he refused cause he was hanging with Cathy.

From the begining I knew somthign didn't feel right.
I told Cathy it upset me that they were texting eachother constantly
and when they did hang out Cathy pretty much told me
she was going to hang out with my boyfriend and there is
NOTHING I could do about it.
Things just got worse from there.
Me and Cathy ended up hating eachother and digging in eachothers pasts.
She said things that made me cry.
James say I was upset but never told Cathy off.

So last night.
Me and Cathy were at eachothers throats.
She never wanted to see me again and
yelled about how I don't know or love james at all
after the 14 months I've spent with him.

I call James for suport.
Asking what I should do.
Don't get me wrong I'm strong enough to fight my own battles
but I wanted to know what he thought of the whole situation.
He ends up telling em the worst news ever...

He tells me that after spending time with cathy again
he realized he loves both of us...
After all the horrible things Cathys done to him.
And after how hard I tried to show my love for him ...
He still loves her.

He reasured me nothing would come of it.
That he wouldn't break up with me for her
and that if he had to choose hed choose me anyday...
but what do I do?
I love James so much and I'm going to try my best for this to work.

I came up wiht a plan.
Today I'm going to see him,
so i thought I'd tell him,
"James, I know you love me, but everything is so confusing right now.
I want things to be right again. James, I'm sorry but your gonna have to prove.
your gonna have to prove to me you still love me more then her.
I want you to do the most romantic thing you could possibly do."

Sounds weird I know...
But I litteraly have nothign left...
I've already tried EVERYTHING
to show him how much I love him.
It's up to him now.

So, advice needed, I know its a long post.
But What should I do?
What do you think of the situation?
I need some help ...
 
     
 
James looks/sounds pretty cool.
And ahh, the ultimatium.. nice choice.
DOn't be upset if he leaves you, I know it's tough but you gotta be strong and hold your head up high.
I'm always online if you wanna talk cos I know what it's like.
     
Maybe you and your boyfriend should spend some time apart? It'd give him some time to decide what he really wants, and if it's you, then great! If its that other person, then you'll just have to accept thats what he wants. And if you try and make him prove his love, he might just end up resenting you. Besides, doing something romantic isn't really going to solve or prove anything, is it?

Well, I honestly just want to see what he does...
I guess I was foolish in thinking romance could make him see our love
then hed forget all about cathy.

Yeah James is a pretty awesome guy.
And I understand he might leave me.
But atleast I'll know what he really wants...
either prove you love me or leave...
I have no idea what else to do...
I supose you could say im completely whipped...
heh heh
 
     
 
Well James is a pretty understanding guy,
so I think hed understand if and why I would need him
to prove that I'm the one he loves most...
     
So my situation is still going on
I talked to James and cathy about all this.
Its still confusing
but i decided not to take a break.

good idea?
 
     

x3 I love you James! <333

Cathy is an ugly blackhearted b***h who was just trying to get your boyfriend in her pants. Maybe he told you about it because he wanted you to be okay with it and make it seem like some dumbass threesome thing or whatever/open relationship.

Also, Cathy is a stupid name.

You shouldn't just let this slide, it seems like they've been conspiring for some time behind your back.

I think you should just dump him. It's not worth the trouble. You can't force him to like you more than her. Why would you want a guy like him anyway? He doesn't seem to feel any loyalty towards you. If he did, this whole situation would have never happened. He would have told Cathy to back off of you. Saying he doesn't know who he loves is an excuse so he can have his cake and eat it too. Not cool.

Basically he is using you until he gets what he wants which appears to be Cathy. I also wonder if you were just a rebound since he seems to show a lack of concern for you and your feelings. Regardless he is playing you and you shouldn't be okay with it. You need to be more assertive and tell him that you don't appreciate his behavior either. Stop being so passive aggressive. That s**t isn't going to get you anywhere.

Tell him the ball is in your court, I love you but I can't wait for you. Figure out what you want because you can't have us both.
     
What about Cathy's boyfriend? :/
 
     
Thanks you, awesomeness fairy!

I think if a guy honestly loves you, the love he feels for you will pale in comparison to the love he feels for anyone else. If he told you he would stay with you then tell him you're very uncomfortable and if he wants to stay with you then you need him to reassure you. I'm a very firm believer that the person you date should never make you doubt, that they would do anything within their power to make you comfortable and although James seems cool, he's not doing his part as a boyfriend.

Cathy needs to realize that James is no longer hers and she comes in second when the contest is between you and her. She needs to be put in her place and know that she cannot say anything when it comes to your boyfriend, they may be pals and they may have a history but in the end it's your arms he's coming to.

You should never feel uncomfortable in your relationship or threatened either, then again, this is a high school relationship and high school is jam packed with drama. Don't let her bother you, she will seriously feed of your misery and when she sees you being uncomfortable, she sees it as a chance to take her ex back. Show her your dominance in the situation, you are his girlfriend, not her.
     

Same thing happened to me, and I responded the same way you did - demanding romance. Somehow it felt like that would make it better, make me feel loved. It didn't. The jealousy never went away. I highly recommend sparing yourself the drama and just breaking it off now. I tried for two years to get over it and be with my man, but when he loves someone else, something's wrong, and you can't fix it.
