Is it normal to still have these feelings?

So, for about 9 months now, ive been OFFICIALLY dating this guy. We met last year and we started to like each other, then eventually blossomed into love. He always told me how much he loved me and I always believed him; we snuggled all the time when we were both in school. It was like we were dating, just without the title. Anyway, I have a friend (let's call her Ally and the guy Robert). One day, after school, Robert came up to me and hugged me and started telling me over and over again that he loved me, which really concerned me cause i can tell something was wrong. Later that night, he called me and told me that he was starting to like Ally. This broke my heart, but pretended to be OK. Then, when we were at the library hanging out with our friends, Robert and Ally would snuggle. Right in front of me. And it hurt. A lot. And i didnt like it that i hurt cause i had no right to, considering we werent "dating". there were times when he would stop snuggling with her then snuggle with me, which didnt make me feel any better. All my friends wanted to kill or hated him for this, cause everyone knew Robert was hurting me, except himself. Robert wasnt being greedy, okay? He is not a bad person for this. He just didnt know who he wanted to be with. He was confused on his feelings. Later on, Ally found a new guy, which helped Robert make his decision to be with me, and then we made it official about a month later. About a few weeks into our relationship, Ally and I were talking and she warned me about Robert and to keep my guard up cause before we started dating, Robert and her were so close to having sex. This broke my heart. What did i not have that Ally had? It hurt. (she told me this on my birthday.... it wasnt a very happy birthday...) I called Robert that day asking him about it. He admitted to it, and said he was really sorry. He also admitted that even though he never had sex with her, he did do sexual things with her. Which hurts so much. Everything was resolved, but to this day, 9 months later I still hurt from it. To the point of tears. I still cry at night cause of it. Am i overeacting? Am i being childish? Am i being immature, or do i have the right to still feel this way?

        It doesnt sound like love just lust but you will no best and in time your choice will be made for you when you get jel cause he spoke to a girl or talks about his ex or you get paraniod he might cheat on you... Good luck.

    Wow :)

    So you were annoyed that Ally got so close to Robert that they nearly had sex, when really that should have been you (and Robert)?

    You know having Robert wanting to have sex with you (or snuggle or more actual sexual things) does not make him love you (or anyone else) more or less!

    In actual reality you probably should not have become too serious too soon with a guy who was serious with another girl. It does not create a strong foundation and looks as though if (or when rather) you break up, guess what, he's probably going to have sex with someone else that weekend!

    Its not the sex that makes your relationship, otherwise when all guys get bored of their partner they'd divorce that second, but they don't. Because they LOVE their partner.

    I truly don't feel you should be having sex with this guy. This only from reading the above.
    I think you may need to grow up a bit more before getting serious with anyone!

      Yes but my comment above was not talking about 9 months ago! You even said it was 9 months ago! If I was talking about 9 months ago I would have said get over it!
      When you read my comment above, I 'think' you may have thought to yourself, 'yep I must have just been immature back then, but its been a long time now and things are good'. Um, no.

      What I said to you was for now.
      When I said he will probably have sex with someone the weekend after you break up, that's a bad thing not a normal thing. Its mean of me to even say it to you, but I told you to help you.

      I read your other comment too.
      You said he loves you and he's stubborn not to give up. I don't even know what that means? Someone who loves you will make you feel free, they will open your world up and become at 1 with you. There is no stubborn in it.

      I know its difficult forming advice from one long paragraph you made. But I'm going to copy and paste my advice back to you again. THIS time understand I'm writing it to you NOW.

      "I truly don't feel you should be having sex with this guy. This only from reading the above.
      I think you may need to grow up a bit more before getting serious with anyone!"

      Putting it bluntly > Go single. Enjoy life. Lose the stubborn guy who has not learned to be serious EITHER. Maybe be a friend of him, that's all.

    I think this guy's greedy. He doesn't deserve your tears falling down because of him being such a jackass. You may love him but I got the feeling that he's not serious about you..why?

    Congratulations, you're well on your way to being a full blown codependent. This is just the beginning, if you stay with this guy he will, most likely, cheat on you.
