What do I do?

Question

So, I have had an extreme amount of feelings for a friend of mine for about 6 years. I was dating his best friend for that amount of time and was scared to get out of the relationship for security issues. He was abusive to me mentally and pushed me around when he was drunk. Also, he used to drink heavily and hurt a lot of people around him.

Now, I have broke things off completely with him. He wants me back and cries to me. I will not take him back. I went down to visit the friend i talked about earlier, this weekend. We had been drinking a lot and I asked him if he wanted me to sleep in his bed or on the couch and he said he couldnt do that to his friend (my ex). His roommate told me that this kid does have feelings for me and that it is obvious there is a lot of tension between us. Should I just forget about this whole thing because he said he couldnt do that to my ex or what?!

Answer 1

if he's worth pursuing and he's genuinely interested it will pan out in your favor.
GUY CODE.some guys stick to it.some don't be careful.

Answer 2

if this is his friend, likely hood is that he has many of the same ways of treating a lady... violent people attract violent friends. I'd let go, move on, and find yourself. NO ONE has any right to lay a finger on you hon and right now you are not in a situation to be a great judge of character. How many women have you heard of who bounced from one abusive relationship to another. Stay away from the best friend.

Answer 3

go find someone OUTSIDE this click of friends, and date someone with no ties to either of them. You are just asking for trouble between these two.

Answer 4

I think you should ask him again, but don't push it too far. If you were in his position, you probably wouldn't want to jeopardize your friendship either.
