Hi,
I'm new to this community. Here's the story. I was dating a guy from school (college) and we split up. He was moving too fast and he was slightly controlling however that's not the reason I told him (for obvious reasons). We still see each other three times a week in school which makes the break up hard. He emailed thanksgiving evening (he had been drinking) and basically told me he stills likes me and so on. Well...the rational thing to do would've been to ward him off, but I didn't! I told him that I missed him and all that stuff. Now he is asking to get back together! I know he is bad for me, but when I'm around him it's as if all the bad stuff falls away.
I know that I need to stop leading him on (it was completely unintentional). How do I distance myself? It's not like it usually goes when you break up and you don't see each other anymore. So in this situation how do you keep your emotions in check in order to keep it together? Words of encouragement anyone?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Don't let him force his way back with you. Don't let his emails and cutesy cutesy act lure you in. If you don't want to be his girlfriend any more, tell him to leave you alone. He isn't violent or anything, is he?
Verbra you're right, the longer it is the harder it is. And Christye I think I am letting his cutesy cutesy stuff get to me. By the way he is not violent in anyway so no worries there.
I just have to be strong and tell him stay away.
