leo cant forget his ex
so there's like a tight squeeze in my heart and i feel so restless. the guy im seeing (boyfriend) still thinks and talks about his ex, even when we sleep together on the phone in the middle of the night he would say he feels so lonely and he misses his ex. i question his love for me and he says that he doesnt want me to have baggage and i dont deserve this. I wonder if i'm not good enough, he says that i'm prettier than his ex and the only difference/advantage she has over me is 'time'. he reminds me that he loves me and he wont go back to his ex (he blocked her everywhere-she tried to message him still)
being a leo, i've been trying to toughen it out and act like it doesn't bother me. honestly all i do in the morning is stay in bed is cry and unable to move..my body and heart hurt (not being dramatic here). i really like this guy and everything else he's really nice, i don't really want to let him go and i dont know if thats being selfish of me for doing that.
You sleep on the phone?
If he's not over her ,its not your job to help him forget her.

read this again and imagine your best friend wrote it. what would you tell them?
Don't allow this dude to use you as a filler. You're better than that. For him to have spoken those words directly to you shows no shame, respect or consideration for you. Selfish on several levels. He's going to leave you in an emotionally depleted state if you allow it.
How long have you two been seeing each other?

He's placed you in a filler-position. Leave him and grieve now so that you won't have to grieve later ❤️

we're in long distance relationship so we sleep together on the phone. he's trying to move on from his past relationship and he says he wants to try as long as i try for him, it just takes time
Unfortunately you are the rebound. My first love wasnt over his ex. I was to nieve to really see it. He would talk about her all the time even wanted me to dye my hair red cause she was a red head. He loved me but in the end he broke my heart and I think eventually he got back together with her from what I hear...but I believe they broke up so there is a silver lining there. Lol. Anyway, I regret not seeing the signs.

I think it's incredibly selfish but my opinion doesn't /shouldn't matter. Protect your heart. I wish you luck.
Time to break it off.

have you met in person? how many times?
is the ex in the same city as him? how long they were together? how long ago they broke up?
Long distance relationship huh.
Have you met in person at all? Any plans to meet in the future?
Cause if chatting on the phone is all you have I wouldn't rush to call him your bf.

different cities apparently they were together for 2 years. i haven't met him in person, but we have video chatted before. we're planning to meet in a few months from now
i forgot to mention that he had a long distance relationship with his ex too, so he has experience with that
