Are you worried you won't find someone else?  I wouldn't worry about that.  Believe me he isn't the ONLY man on the planet earth that wants to be with you.  Doubt that.  I believe this but the problem is that you don't believe this and you need to.  

He should be upset with what he did because it was rotten.  He said he was thinking about you?  You mean during all the times he cheated on you?

Being that you are only 17 having a bf should be the least of your worries.  

I think you need to work on your self-esteem and self-worth because it sounds like you have little to none and you should do this without a guy in your life.

For some reason you are linking your self-worth to a guy.  This is extremely concerning.  

Many people have had a "first" bf and a "first" true love.  Though it may feeling like the world is ending when the relationship doesn't work out the reality is that the world ISN'T ending and you will get through the breakup.  

We teach people how to treat us.  You are allowing him to continue to mistreat you if you stay.  

Your choice........

All the best.

Are you kidding?

What don't you know?  All this is CRYSTAL clear.  He is no gentleman at all and he is not planning on treating you decent.  What is SO difficult to understand about that?

Stay with him if you want to be continuously hurting.  You also run the risk of an STD because he is sleeping with so many girls + you.  

This is your choice of course.  

We teach people how to treat us and apparently you don't mind people mistreating you and taking advantage of you.  

This is really more of a problem with you than with him.  This says a lot about how you feel about yourself.  

If can't remember what you SHOULD do or don't know what you SHOULD do then reread the previous posts.  I know I haven't changed my mind about what you should do.

WHY in the world would you go back to him?  He's not going to change.  The BEST predictor of future behavior is past behavior.  Dump him and move on!

Girl I am so glad to hear that you are not with this user guy..Just take it from us and please try to get to know YOU..Life can and will have its up and downs..You might find other men that you "think" are right but down the line they might not be either. I have lived with a few men in my past thinking each one was the one..I was the one to make them go. You have to try to LOVE You first..Then it will all fall in place.. You do not know how many memories this has brought back to me since I was 14..I am now 57. I used to think when a guy was with me (sexually) that they were the one and that they Loved me..He11 NO..I was only being used and laughed about to the other guys.When I finally turned 20 I did not care if I had a BF..I then learned to Love me..Sure I have lived with a few, but I found out they where not the ones and I moved on. Look at my situation..I did a great big cycle in Life living with guys only to return to my hometown and fall in Love and a True SOUL Love with a man I road the grade school bus and up to 11th grade, before I moved to Lake Tahoe and finished High School on my own. Please, Please know that you are a Beautiful Soul and YOU will find True Love..Do not just pick any Flower off the Bush..God will send your true love in his time..Have patience and it will come..Then that is when your true work with each other will begin..It will not be just one sided..It will be 2 becoming 1..Just be true to your self and do not rush this..Live Life a bit becasue it goes quick..lol
Bless

Boobear, after reading your other posts it's probably a good idea to take a break from guys. For some reason you think you are nothing without a guy in your life and what's worse is that you are choosing guys who take advantage of you/use you.

"i met a really nice guy and who is treating me way better than what my ex did".............Well, really nice guys don't ask for sex immediately after meeting.

Well, nothing wrong with friends, but you need to focus more on you and not on guys.  You seemed to be fixated on being with a guy.  

Do you not have girlfriends to hang out with? What about your hobbies?

Boobear.........Are you serious?

Are you just friends or dating?

I wouldn't recommend you jumping right into another relationship so soon.

You're right to just start ignoring all his provocative stuff.  If he did try to commit suicide, they would not give him anything to write with, so he is clearly not on suicide watch.  If he is even in a hospital, he didn't try to commit suicide or he *would* be on suicide watch.  He's an elaborate liar and trying to suck you in again.  My guess is that he is not in a hospital, and second guess is that if he is, he checked himself in for depression or something benign, and then wrote to you he tried to commit suicide so you would fall into his pocket again.

Just tell yourself, no matter what stunt he pulls next, that is is just him pulling another attention-seeking stunt, and don't look his way.  Walk forward, don't look back.

Good luck, dear.

What kind of facility is he in?  If he is on suicide watch they aren't going to be giving him anything sharp, i.e. pen/pencil, to be writing letters.  Usually, these people are monitored closely.  Something doesn't make sense here.  I am not so certain he is in any facility.  

Well......I just wouldn't reply to him because it will turn into correspondence back and forth with him keeping contact with you.  Just another way to lure you back.

It's your decision though.
