I overheard my boyfriend of 18 months telling a friend that if I should ever dump him he will have no trouble going back to his ex. They had been dating for about nine years and when I met him they had only been apart for about four months although he assured me he was over her and would never go back to her because she had treated him like dirt. When he started dating me however she suddenly told him she wanted him back and will wait for him no matter how long it takes. I know he loves me but could he secretly still want to rather be with her?
ANSWER
In matters like this often even the person himself does not know what he wants and feels. It certainly is possible that he would want to reunite with someone he previously spent nine years with, depending upon all of the circumstances. The best you can do is raise the issue with him and openly discuss his feelings and yours as honestly as you can. Share with him your true wants, needs and desires, not holding back to protect yourself if things turn out in a way other than your preference. Ask him to do the same.
