My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 months now, we dated when we were younger and were very close friends for many years before he confessed to me he still has feelings for me. He had recently broke up with his ex of almost 2 years (a month before he told me he loved me) and he told me he wasn't really happy with her all along. Everything was great at first. Now after two months I told him that the fact that all his profile pics on facebook, all his pics and almost everything on his profile has something to do with her and that it is really annoying me because everyone thinks he is still with her. He told me it was stupid and at first refused to do anything about it.. I kinda went crazy so he promised he will change his profile.. Days passed n he didnt do anything about it, he keeps saying he is busy to do all this (although he does log onto his account).. So I stopped talking to him yesterday hoping he will do it for real and I told him I wasnt gonna speak to him until it is done. He said he will do it, but still hasnt... I am waiting and i'm kinda scared he wont do it or wont call me back.. Does it mean he's still not over her or not ready to be with me? Or could it be that he is really busy? I feel that he can find time to do it if he really wants to..

He's not over her. And hun, I think you're a rebound. Sorry... maybe you should really make yourself unavailable?
1I'll bet good money she broke up with him. And I agree, I think you're a rebound. Proceed with caution. Anybody who jumps right back into a relationship after 2 years with someone else is not ready....period.
I wouldn't expect a long term thing....I think you are a known entity and he is comfortable with you, but that is it. It is not love. I am sorry.
2So what should i do? Should I break it off with him or give it time? Should I talk to him or ignore? We are not talking now and I wonder what is gonna happen..
3I agree with notinthemood - he's not over her and yes, I'm afraid you are a rebound. Step back ... don't chase him in any shape or form. IF - and only IF he's interested in you, he will have to MISS YOU by you staying totally out of his way (no texts, emails, facebook comments - NOTHING!). If he doesn't contact you, then you've saved yourself a lot of heartache. If he does want to be with you, then let him say so and at that point you lay down the groundrules that are acceptable to you before you would consider going back to him.
Don't accept being second-best in any relationship. You're worth more than that!
4I dont think its a matter of being too busy. If he really cared about the relationship and its something he knows is bothering you he would have taken the pics down.
As hard as this is, I agree with the above comments it seems like you are a rebound, and usually with rebounds the first place we run is to our exes.
Dont be hurt, it happens just give it some time and make up your mind you deserve just as much (and more so even now) to be on his facebook account, and for him to be fully committed to the relationship, once you dont think this is happening make it clear to him its not worth your time
Goodluck!
5Okay its been 5 days now and he still hasn't removed the pics.. He texts me once everyday telling me he misses me, and everytime he texts he says he's gonna take them down tonight.. But he never does.. (By the way he is out of town now that's why we text each other more than call).. I'm really getting annoyed because he keeps acting like the sweet guy who is gonna do everything as soon as he has time, but he never does! :S
6And I haven't replied to his text messages for the past two days..
7Is he ever gonna do it? I want this to work but I don't know if it will...
Rachell, Reply to each of his his text messages with, "Thanks for the message. By the way, have you taken those pix down yet?"
8rachell76, you issued your ultimatum and he hasn't followed through. What else are you waiting for?
His actions speak (loudly) for themselves.
Separately, I have hundreds of pictures of my ex up all over. He was a huge part of my life. If anyone I was dating - especially after 2 months - demanded that I take them down, I would honestly laugh. Jealousy becomes no one.
9He is doing the bare minimum here. Texting, no calling, etc. Obviously you are very insecure in this relationship, and he is not jumping through your hoops, so now you have to decide if it is worth it to hang in there given all of the anxiety you are going through.
He is obviously not going to take down the pictures, so you have to either accept it and drop the subject or walk away. I still think he is rebounding though, so protect your heart. I think you are in for more hurt. Sorry!
Yet another reason why I am not on Facebook.
10popgoestheworld's, It's not like we've only known each other for 2 months.. We dated for two years before and I was his first love and he was mine. His ex hated me and constantly asked him to stop talking to me but he used to refuse.. We stayed very close friends for years before all this happened. He was being very flirty months before he broke up with his ex and when he confessed he still had feelings for me he said it in such a way that I don't see why I shouldn't demand that he remove the pics or gets more serious..
11Sorry I didn't read the first part carefully.
I don't know. I'm of the mindset that if you issue an ultimatum you need to be prepared to accept the consequences.
12I agree with everyone above. Take your heels and keep it moving, I know it seems hard at first but you will and can get over this. First you have to be aware of what you are willing to put up with and not settle til you have that. There is nothing wrong with sticking up for what you believe it. Kick him to the curb.
13I don't know. This guy seems fickle to me. He had that other girlfriend for two years but continued to talk to you? That's not a man who can make a commitment. Now he broke it off with her saying he wasn't happy with her all along. Nice. That's great he wasted two years of her life then. Now he's with you but won't take down her pics? This guy needs to make a decision and stick to it.
14I don't know about break up yet since it's only been two months, would cool it with him until you can figure out whats going on.
