I am not a relationship counsellor, nor do I play one on TV, but... It's possible she's getting pretty far down the road with the other guy but he isn't really what she wants and she's looking for a better option. When things were good, did the two of you have anything more than the sex? You said things were not quite right. How much not right? Something you couldn't have overcome? And remember, when looking back you tend to remember the good times and forget the problems, so be realistic. If it truly was something you want back and could make last, then now is the time to make a play for it. If not, then do as the others suggest and just enjoy it while it lasts knowing that it's going to end sometime soon. Or, walk away now before you get in too deep and get hurt again.

"You said things were not quite right. How much not right?" From early on there has been indicators ... No support from her family, left her kid with mom, rather sleep in the streets instead of going back home, extremely clingy, made very poor choices while we dated ... When we had long runs together I felt relieved when she would go back to her place ... She was suffocating at times ...
"Something you couldn't have overcome?" I forgave her, but yes some of the choices she made is what kept her from moving in and having her a part of my family. That was one of the last arguments she had "Im good enough to be around you but not your kids and family?" She had that chance and blew it ... So she knew she would never be around like she wanted too until my kids were up and gone.
"And remember, when looking back you tend to remember the good times and forget the problems, so be realistic." This is why I say Male input is ok now ... I am a man of reason. This statement is the realest thing that has been stated yet ... You my friend are absolutely right. Right on the money ...
"Or, walk away now before you get in too deep and get hurt again." This is the better out ... I do not want drama ... I know how life is, everything comes out in the wash. I do not want to be the cause of issues. I once had the attitude "If she gonna fuck around Ill fuck her instead of some one else" Now ... I just do not want the issues that come from that ... she can be some one else's issue ...So as hard as walking away might be, its the best solution.
