If you don’t want to repeat the cycle, then understand that this is not a man who is ready to commit to you, and if you want a commitment, then you have to move on. Falling in love with someone who has “potential” is a bad idea. You didn’t mention your age or his, but if you’re in your 20s or older, you need to see a man for who he IS, not who he COULD BE. This is clearly a guy who is finding his way, and you’re just scenery in his adventure.
Stop blaming him and his ex-girlfriend and look in the mirror. Decide what kind of woman YOU want to be, and if it’s a woman who dates smart and gets the relationship she wants, then you have to choose more wisely. I strongly suggest you read Think & Date Like A Man, [url]https://www.askapril.com/relationship-dating-advice/think-and-date-like-a-man.html[/url], so you understand better how to get the relationship you want by choosing Mr. Right! 😉
