i've been in love with my ex for this whole year since we broke up. He still flirts with me and messes with my head (you might've read other posts by me about this). We try to be friends but he lets me down again and again. I need to be strong and try to let go of him, or the idea of him. I just need to keep reminding myself that I deserve someone who won't ***** with my head, who will be there for me, and who will love me. I deserve that in a man, and I deserve that in a friend. He won't give me either. This is going to be hard, and I'd appreciate any advice or words of encouragement!
