So I am having some relationship issues now and I feel like I am essentially making a choice between two guys who are in love with me, or say they are in love with me. I started dating a guy I worked with, Ill call him J., about a month before I left to go to Germany for an internship for three months. We decided to do long distance until I got back and we had a crazy connection, always laughing together. I regret doing this but I got on tinder while I was there just hoping to find a friend so I wasnt so alone. After about a month, I ended up cheating emotionally and physically consistently until I broke up with J. I started spending a large amount of my time with S. who 1) knew I had a boyfriend 2) was talking to other girls but still told me he loved me before I broke up with J. I didnt realize how it would affect J., he had been cheated on before in his only other official relationship and is a recovering alcoholic and narcotic and relapsed after everything happened. When I got back, I reached out to him and we still have a lot of emotions there but I am now in an official relationship with S. who wants me to live with him and get married in a state across the country once he gets out of the military. S has been married before. And I also ended up sleeping with J after I got back. Essentially both men are in love with me and both mean a lot to me and I dont know what to do. Especially since I have betrayed both of them which is a whole separate issue.

Betraying both of them is NOT a whole separate issue. It is a clear sign that you are not ready to commit to either of these men. Or indeed, probably for the moment to anyone.

Have some fun, don't get pregnant, don't tell lies, and wait until things inside change - usually around 24, 25 but can take longer.
