Dear Sugar,
I had a boyfriend I dated for 7 years. Our relationship was perfect and I was hoping that he’d pop the question soon. A few months into our 5th year anniversary he told me he would be away for a few weeks. During this period that he was away, a friend of mine called me to tell me that she was invited to a wedding and it was my boyfriend that was the husband. After he got back, I confronted him and he kept telling me he didn’t love her and that it was an arranged marriage. I was so heartbroken that I called off the relationship immediately and cut off all ties with him. Around last month, I got to the house and find him there.
Apparently, in my anger, I forgot to get back my Apartment keys. My ex kept begging me and one thing led to another and we ended up having sex. He’s been showing up from time to time and I seriously don’t know how to break ties with him. How can I get over him and move on. I just always feel like I’ve spent so much time, energy and life plans with him
Keep me anon
Dear Anon,
It's understandable that it may be extremely difficult to get over your relationship especially since you're so used to each other after seven years. However, you should understand that he picking her over you already tells you all you need to know.
You should consider changing your locks if moving out is not an option. This is the period where you need your friends who can help you get over this. Try not to blame yourself too much and move on with your life.
Wishing you all the best,
Sugar
