The cap guy I was seeing for two months who started seeing another girl one month into dating me came back. After supposedly a month of therapy to battle depression, he said he was ready to talk and be friends so texted me two weeks ago. We met up because he said we should "finish the things we said we would do" which includes watching a couple movies. I was only going to give him 3 hours of my time for a movie but he did not want to leave after the movie was over and just wanted to hang out. He tried to make a move on me, did all sorts of things to have physical contact, ie grabbing my hand when I was handing him a pen, grabbed my waist when I walked past him, etc. He even tried to kiss me a couple times and then when I stopped him, he admitted he's still seeing the girl.

He basically said he's still seeing that same girl but he realized he is unable to commit. If I was ok, he wants to hang out without ending it with her. Long story short, he cheats on girls on a regular basis and now he is back and wants to cheat on the girl who he left me for, except now it's with me. The most jaw dropping statement from him was when he said he tries not to go over seeing two girls at a time...

I have his instagram (which he does not know that I am a follower) and I noticed he has been posting with this girl D...if you were me, would you try to contact that girl and let her know that she needs to be careful with him? I know it sounds ridiculous but I really wish someone had warned me when I was first starting to fall for him. Two months wasn't a long time and I understand if things don't feel right you should pull out and end it because everyone is in this dating game to find the right person. However, there's a difference between being honest and testing the water vs. lying about being completely into you and misleading you into thinking he is monogamous and serious.

He tried to see hang out with me last Sat and since I already made plans with a friend he suggested this week we can hang out...all of these I have texts to prove that I'm not lying but I just don't know if I should try to find out if he's seeing that girl on instagram and try to tell her the reality...

Any comments and advice helps, thank you!

He's a creep...Nothing to do about it though. You'll just be called the psycho bitch that can't get over him and possibly open yourself up to be bullied and abused online and maybe in person.

The best thing you can do is RUN...Stop contact, delete, erase and don't look back.

She'll find out about him sooner or later but it's not your job/responsibility to warn her but if you do warn her it could backfire because he most likely uses a certain persona to make her feel safe which includes her trusting him through and through.

You won't accomplish anything by warning her and you'll appear way too emotionally invested in him which will make you appear untrustworthy and he'll just turn it around on you. She'll believe him not you.

our circles don't overlap at all and I really don't know her except for the fact that I happen to have both of their instagrams.

I was thinking if I could find out if they were dating or not first since if they were truly just friends then there's no point in ruining his reputation.

I have all the texts he's sent me to prove. I completely trusted him when I was seeing him because he would constantly say things to tell me he was serious about it. I trusted, fell, and then had everything taken away literally 3 days after he said I should start going over to his place on weekdays since I just started a new job in the city where he lives. I guess he's probably doing the same thing to lure the new girl in...this makes me sad because she looks like a really nice person in her pictures. I just wish she's smarter than me.

1.I stopped reading once I read that he told you he was still seeing the other girl but still wanted you in his mix too. That 1 sentence alone speaks volumes & ought to tell you everything you need to know.

2. Of course he was all over you. He just wanted to sleep with you. What he calls "hanging out" is really code for him being around you long enough until you're finally comfortable & ready to give up the panties. And hey, it's not a man's fault that all he has to do to get her panties is to spend 30 minutes with her or watch a movie with her.

3. If this guy is as big of a known player as you say he is, chances are the other girl already knows. Let it sink in that some women will know this and will STILL want to claim guys like him. We become naive when we automatically think that a woman is only still with a man b/c she doesn't know his demons. NOT TRUE.

4. Why look on instagram for proof that they're still an item when he's already TOLD you that they are? You wanting to do all this "research" doesn't suggest that you wanna tell her b/c you feel sorry for her, but moreso it screams that you are obsessing over a situation, wanting to be nosy & wanting to use what evidence you find to tell the other woman as a means of hurting HIM (not helping her).

5. If what he's doing is SO wrong that you feel the other woman needs to know, then why are you still entertaining him? He should've never had the opportunity to sit on your couch & tell you all of his business b/c you should've never opened your door to him in the 1st place. You can't entertain a man but then go another woman that she shouldn't be entertaining him.

6. If you tell her, you can't leave out that he was on YOUR couch & in YOUR house when he 1st told you about them. This detail alone would be cause for much suspicion in her eyes. She probably knows that she's not the only 1. And if he's getting all of the benefits w/o having to commit to her, then she's probably not the kind of girl to run like hell when another woman tells her the real deal. She's sitting on his couch at night too giving him everything she's got even though she's not getting the same in return b/c something within her lacks self-esteem & enables her to settle. Women who are OK with settling in the 1st place typically don't freak out & run away for good when another woman comes around & "warns" her. Women like this usually fall for the "Oh don't listen to her baby, she's just jealous" line that a man will use on

... Women like this usually fall for the "Oh don't listen to her baby, she's just jealous" line that a man will use once he finds out that you told her.

7. Stop trying to figure out the WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE & WHY. It's 1 thing to stick around enough until you get the confirmation that you're not the only 1 but to keep on "observing" is just you torturing yourself. You had that confirmation a long time ago, so what else is there to find out? And if there's more to the story, why do you wanna know if the BIG PICTURE of him being the WRONG guy for you has already been spelled out for you?!

Let it go! Let him go! You didn't run at the 1st sign of trouble with him (b/c if you did, you wouldn't have entertained him again), so why would she?! You fell for his manipulation & she probably will too. Just is what it is. You can't save everybody. Worry about saving yourself 1st! Make sure YOU can keep yourself out from under his arms FIRST before you go trying to encourage another woman to get out from under him

I know it's hard to understand why I would even let him back as a friend. However, he told me he was battling clinical depression and I feel like I shouldn't just shut him out of my life. It is obviously something he tries to keep it to himself and perhaps only people who are close to him. He said his therapist wanted him to take anti-depressant which he turned down thinking the side effects would make things worse. Anyways, I'm just trying to say I didn't want to be the one to turn against him when he was psychologically in bad shape because I didn't want to be that "last person he contacted before he did something self-destructive"...

It has been hard to drop him because we have similar family background and issues. However, I know and will drop him because I don't want to waste my time and energy anymore. I just hope that ther'ss a happy middle ground where we can just be friends and talk about things in life.

Well, we told you it would be okay to see him and talk - as friends. It's okay you did. But, now you know what he wants and maybe it'll be easier to cut him loose now.

"...I know and will drop him because I don't want to waste my time and energy anymore. I just hope that there's a happy middle ground where we can just be friends and talk about things in life."

You know you'll drop him because you don't want to waste anymore time, yet you still hope to be friends? What kind of logic is that?

Him being depressed is not your problem so he needs to take care of that with his therapist/doctors. And forget about "warning" the other girl because that's not your responsibility either. Depressed or not, this man seems shady and the fact that he's still in your life doesn't make sense.

Just leave. He has depression? He can't lean on you for favors, he needs to find it in himself to get out of his depression. This is the same thing my scorp ex does, sans seeing other women. It's the "I am always so happy with you", "you make me feel better," "I don't know if I'd be alive without you", on and on. I've told him the same thing. If he wants to be happy, he can't expect me to be the constant source of his happiness.

You need to get the fuck out of that situation. ASAP. He doesn't want to be just friends, that's very obvious. Don't feel guilty about leaving it either. You need to consider yourself, not him. He screwed you over, now he's screwing someone else over. There is no reasonable excuse in the world to make that "okay".

Seriously. Run.

Clinical depression? C'mon, depressed people don't have the strength to have so many partners. Wake up.
