Dear Lady. Ann:
My ex and I just broke up a few months ago, he ended it. He initially said he needed a break and now he wants to extend the break till he sorts his own shit out. I still love him, and I have even tried talking him out of it but he still insists he needs a break. I have invested so much into the relationship and I am not willing to let him go just like that. He is not with another woman, I have done my research about that. He really just wants a break from our 4-year long relationship.
I needed to distract myself from chasing my ex so I started going out on dates with a few guys. I met a new guy recently and he was the perfect distraction for me. He said all the words I wish my ex would say to me and that just felt so good. I don’t know what I was thinking, but I sent him a nude picture of me. I guess I got all excited at the things he was telling me, but now I feel so terrible about it. I don’t know who he must have sent my picture to and that kills me more. I wrote him the next day not to send my picture to anyone and he responded with “sure”. I stopped chatting with him as I felt terribly embarrassed.
The problem now is my ex started writing me again yesterday. He said he misses me and although he still has a lot of things to figure out, he doesn’t want to lose me. I still love my ex and would love to be back with him as a couple, but I have so many questions on my mind. Do I have to tell him about the nude picture? And how do I be with someone I love but who doesn’t really want a full commitment with me? I could wait for him, but he is so unstable that I fear he might never be ready for a relationship with me.
-Unrequited Love
#DLATribe, should she tell her ex about the nude picture? Or should she walk away from her ex completely?
