I still love him but he broke my heart. what should I do?

We started dating when we were still sophomores but we liked each other since 8th grade. I have lived the best years of my life with him, we had our goods and bads but at the end of the day he was the only person I was happy with and the only one who made me feel like no one else can. He was very jealous and tried to control me, he made me be the same way. I lost all my friends because of him. I wasn't allowed to go to parties or anything if it wasn't with him, yet he would go behind my back and people always told me but I never believed them since he'd always deny everything. I loved him soo much that I would do anything to make him happy. I lost my virginity to him when we were only 15 and since then I have never had sex with no one else, not even kissed.
I would always hear rumors about him and other girls or parties but as usual, he'd always deny it so we reached a point were there was no trust in our relationship. The funny thing is that he didn't trust me as well when he never heard a rumor about me or anything. I became a really jealous person and broke up with him on the summer of 2007 because I was told by people that he made out with a girl at a party Sad So we didn't date for 2 weeks but we still talked and he kept begging me to go back with him. But it turns out that during those 2 weeks he went out to a party and made out with a girl who used to be my friend who I decided to stop talking to because he would always tell me she'd flirt with him, and they kept talking for the rest of the summer after they made out while he was trying to get back with me. I didn't find out until the summer of 2008 when a close friend of mine told me everything since she was there and saw them, and of course he denied it when I tried confronting him and I loved him so much that I made myself believe him when deep inside my heart I didn't.
A year later I brought this conversation up and he finally admitted he had made out with her and it broke my heart into pieces and ever since then everything completely changed between us. I broke up with him and left the town for a month and after I came back I thought I was over him but he started calling me and looking for me and showing up to parties where I was. I treated him like trash after I came back, I was still so hurt and started going out on dates but never did anything (kissing, sex, etc) and he begged me so much to get back with him but it turns out he was already seeing someone else this whole time I was gone and after I came back. I saw him at a party with another girl and it did hurt me but I didn't approach him. The next day he called me and I answered and I realized I still had feelings for him after seeing him with her so we started talking again and we did have sex various times. He invited me to his sister's wedding and I found out that the girl he was with at the party was going to be the maid of honor. So I still decided to go thinking he would be with me and as soon as I got there, he received me outside and told me to wait for him and never came back. When I walked in the salon I the first thing I saw was him dancing with her and he ignored me and acted like he never knew me when the girl he was with knew exactly who I was. It just broke my heart into pieces because I still loved him and I couldn't believe after everything we had been through for almost 5 years he ignored me over a girl who he had just met like 2 months ago. He ignored me in front of his whole family and my friends. They were hugging and taking pictures infront of me, he didn't care about my feelings. I left the wedding in tears and he called me that same night after the wedding was over and apologized. A few days later I found out I was pregnant and told him. All he told me was that we were too young to be parents so it'd be better if we didn't have the baby. He told me he still had feelings for me but he said he also had feelings for her. I told him I was willing to forget about everything and try it again with him and I didn't want to abort. but all he said was that we would figure that out later and to not have the baby but he told me that we could talk about us another time so he gave me hopes. I did abort, I figured we were too young to be parents and after I told him about it, we kept talking and fooling and after a month I found out he was dating the other girl since the day I told him I aborted. He just played with my feelings and he cheated on her, I found out all this through facebook so I changed my number and blocked him and didn't talk to him for 6 months. Those had been the worst months of my life, I never stopped loving him. So after those 6 months I decided to wish him happy birthday through facebook because I still cared for him and he replied and asked me to meet up with him and I accepted. So we met up and we did kiss and I told him how I still felt and he told me he still had feelings for me as well. He tried having sex with me but I would always refused since he was still with that girl and one night I just forgot about everything and we had sex, I felt very guilty and stupid because I thought he was just using me and he asked me if I would every be his girlfriend again, and all I said was "I don't know". He broke up with his girlfriend a few weeks later and he's been wanting to get back with me but I don't know what to do, I cannot forget everything he did to me and it's hard knowing that he had sex with her because I was also his first and I always thought I'd be his only one and everytime we get physical I can't help to think of him having sex with her and I always cry at nights remembering every single thing he did to me because I never cheated on him not even when he was dating her, I never even kissed a guy since the first day we started dating in our sophomore year and it's hard to know he has. He always gets mad when I bring up everything but I can't help it and I'm never going to forget what he did to me. We both are now 21 years old, what should I do? should I just move on and leave him behind? or try it with him again? I'm afraid he'll hurt me again.

Girl i can understand you! he was my first kiss i lost my verginity to him and my love of my life. I was with my ex for 2 years and he lied about girls from the day we started dating.. one month into the relationship i found out he was seeing and engaged to a girl in canada... he told me he was only with her becuase his family liked her and they wanted him to marry her. he told me he was going up there to break it off. I didnt hear from him for days until he came back. Whe he was back he told me it was over. two months later i found out he was still talking to her. We got engaged 4 months later and i facebooked her and told her about me becuase they were still talking. That was the last i heard about her.. He got so mad at me for telling her about me.. in sep 2010 he broke up with me and moved out of town and dated a girl in idaho. in nov he came back and he told me he broke up with her and he loved me and wanted to be with me.. In dec he took me out on my birhtday late at night becuase he told me he was in oregan with his family. in jan i got pregnant and in 7 months later i found out he didnt go to orgegan but he was in idaho seee that girl he "suppoingly" broke up with..... He gets mad at me for going and hanging out with friends but he is out smoking and getting high with his friends and girls... He thinks im a cheater and a liar but he is the only who lied and cheated on me. I was always fathful and loved him so much. When i found out about the first girl it killed me and i tried to move passed it becuase we were getting married but when he broke it off and was with the other girl i just died. Im pregnant now and he doesnt care. He says he loves me and im the only girl for him. i dont believe a word he says to me and he gets mad at me for not believing him. He hates my family becasuse they dont repsct him for the chocise he made and how he hurt me so much. i feel stupid for ever being with him from day one.. I gave him everything and i really thought he was my dream guy. my prince and the love of my life.. so far he has brought me nothing but pain!!! i dont see him that much beucase he is so busy being high and out with his friends late at night. he texts me when he wants something and he makes me feel use becuase he knows how i feel about him and how i loved him so much and he toys with me by saying he loves me and he will alway be here for me. I alway believe him and i dont know why i do???????????

I am so sorry I imagine how you must feel but its not that we believe them, we just want to believe them and we make ourselves think that theyre being honest with us because deep inside we love them and we don't want to hurt ourselves either. And I know it's hard since youre pregnant and you think you might be stuck with him forever but that's not really an obstacle, I regret aborting because a child is a blessing from god no matter who the father is or what situation you stand on. You can still find your true love, your baby will not be an obstacle for you if that person really loves you. I know that it's way different for the person who gives you an advice since theyre not standing in your shoes and only you know how you really feel and i perfectly undestand that because I love him soo much and I know it's really hard to move on because I can't see myself with no one else and youre always going to be wondering "what if" but I really hope everything turns out well for you

OMG! stay away! what the hell would make you think this guy is even worth the dirt you walk on. when i first started reading this i had a heart attack thinking that id stumbled across my ex! he was exactly the same. i literally drove myself into a deep depression and thought i was going insane because i grew so suspicious of him. he would deny things constantly and it made me feel like i was seeing things that werent there. in sort hun...love is blind. you love this guy so much he could probebly do anything to you and youd still love him.

your kidding yourself, this guy is trash. you realise your wasting your life waiting for this guy while he's having his way with every chick he can find. if you dont walk away from this right now, your going to find yourself as an old bitter woman, still waiting for this drop kick. get rid of him your worth way more then this guy.

believe me, i finally walked away from my ex and it took stalking him and catching him in bed with another girl for me to finally see what everyone was telling me from the start. and now im married to a great guy and have a little girl of my own. You have so many choices in life, dont let one bad choice stick with you forever.

trust me, stay away from him. stay away!!!!!

What makes me mad is that I do realize I am wasting my life with him yet I'm still there with him and it's just so hard to let go of everything and not see him in my future because I've always wanted to be with him forever and have our family together but I also know that if that happens it might just ruin my life but after all I was with him for 5 years and maybe thats why its so hard for me to not care for him. People tell me that that period of time I last with him is the same time I need to get over him and I have tried to get away from him but somehow he always gets me back, he starts calling me a lot and doing the sweetest things that just won't let me move on from him but I'm glad you actually found a guy who is worth way more I really hope I can get through this thanks a lot for your advice and I will always keep it in mind and staying away from him is definitely the best thing.

You have been on and off with this guy for five years. How many times have you regretted getting back with him? How many times has he broken your heart to pieces? And how many times have you cried over him for whatever he has done and what he hasn't done?

Have respect for yourself! If you keep being a doormat, he will keep walking all over you. FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

I know you love him. You may even keep on loving him for all time. But you already know him. You will never be happy with him because he will keep on hurting you. But he is going to fine. He's going to OK without you even if he appears like he's begging you to come back. You coming back to him is just feeding his ego and empowering himself to keep on doing what he's doing to you to other girls.

Open your eyes. If this the best life you can see for yourself then you really deserve him. No woman should need a man to be complete. Good luck to you and I hope you find contentment.

during my first broken heart i would always say...."i dont believe there is truly anybody out there better for me than he is" my best friend then replied..."you know how great things are with him? well THERE IS somebody better out there for you so can you just only imagine how great things will be then?" then my friends would always remind me...the best things in life are worth waiting for. i know he has hurt you but the best day ever will be the day you find that guy out there for you and he is finally the one hurt bc he knows he lost you and can never get you again...i cant wait for that day for you! i used to hate it when my friends would say..it will get better in time...bc i was hurting then in the present i didnt care about how i would feel weeks or months from then but i promise it will get better just BE STRONGG! show him you are not going to be that girl anymore....you may not think so but you can do it!
