Relationship Stress / by 7heN3rdy7

...See more In the summer of 2020, I dated this girl and then broke up a couple months later because she said she thought she was ready for a relationship but wasn’t. She told me she still liked me but just needed a little bit more time, so I wanted to wait for her. I loved the girl so much to the point where I had the mindset that I would break up with my current girlfriend just to get back together with her. While I was waiting for her, she started liking other guys and just got over me while I was still stuck on her. It I cried over her for a year. Then we finally got to a place we’re we could talk about anything with each other, text every single day, have fun with each other, and share love interests. I hid my feelings for her the whole time. We were finally considering each other best friends. Then when school started again, I met a girl. We were just teasing each other left and right. The only things we honestly had in common was that we both liked anime and both loved wearing hoodies all the time. I liked her and 2 months later she liked me back. We started dating in December which I think was a little too fast because I had only known her for 4 months, but we were together. We’ve been dating for 7 months. These last few weeks have been a little different. The more and more I talk with my current girlfriend, I realize we literally have nothing in common other than what I said before. Our conversations don’t even last long, we text each other good morning and ask how we slept, and then send random pictures for the rest of the day..no other words to each other. It’s just really awkward With my ex girlfriend/best friend, we could talk all day about the most weirdest topics. Share a bunch of secrets, laugh at anything, play games, ask for advice about things, hangout, do everything. My current girlfriend doesn’t really like video games. I don’t know, my ex/best friend and I just vibe over everything together. These last few weeks I’ve been feeling weird, our friendship has kind of shifted. Sometimes I feel like she likes me again but I overthink all the time so I usually just think I’m overthinking it and she’s just being friendly like always. Every time we stop liking a person we always come back to each other but never dated after we dated the first time. 2 nights ago, I stayed up all night thinking about my ex/best friend and I realized I never FULLY got over her. I jumped myself into a relationship where we have nothing in common. But we’re already 7 months in and she really likes me and I don’t know if she likes me for a looks or my personality or if I’m just annoyingly attractive..but it just feels weird dating her. My friends continuously ask me if I’m sure I don’t have feelings for my ex anymore and I always deny that I have feelings for her because I honestly thought I was, but after realizing I never fully got over her, being in the relationship I’m in right now just feels weird. I’m afraid everyone’s going to catch on that there’s no than just a “friendship” between her and I, and I don’t wanna hurt anybody. But staying in this relationship is already hurting my current girlfriend because she doesn’t even know how I’m feeling about her and I right now. What should I do?
