I was C in this situation.
A left me for B, they're still together.

I chose B and it was wrong. As that must not necessarily apply to you, listen to your heart. Try a mental game: chose one of the two. Don't feel good with your choice? Then take the other.
I know this is not as easy as it sounds, so you might need some time to do it.

Person B left, so it is none but their fault. They are responsible for their actions. B should just go find new love as A has done, because if B left A once, who says B wont leave A twice?

Wow, I have a friend in almost that same predicament.
At least for her, boy B is in the military so they both agreed to remain friends and wait and see when he comes back home again.
As for you?
Well, you can try and be honest, let b and c now about each other, not saying to meet up and be friends, but just because being honest will save a lot of pain later down the road. And just stay with C and see how it will play out.
But don't cheat!!!!!

I rarely add secrets but I'm in this situation right now and it's really hurting myself and my boyfriend..
Sigh I wish I could just move on from him already.

This reminds me of what me and my friend did last year. We had a sheet full of "equation" that stood for who people like and other stuff like this.
For example, it said
c+o
z+a
o*m
v*h
v/h
h-v
v+c
c-v...c+v
+ was like, * was dating, / was split up, - was didn't like... and each letter stood for a person.. mostly last names, but A LOT were not last names...
everyone got mad when we talked in this code...
I STILL THINK THAT C AND O ARE THE PERFECT COUPLE.

Thank you for all of the advice. I will consider all of it (with the exception of Twilight references).
I'm just kidding about the Twilight thing.

Mydnia [2009-10-06 06:41:45 +0000 UTC]
This is the same situation I was in.
I left person C, because I still loved (and still do love) person B.
I'm not in a relationship with person B, but I love them more than life itself. Looking back on things, I realize I never truly loved person C.. I cared for them & was quite fond of them, yes. but it wasn't love.
not suggesting you follow my lead, though^^ i just thought i'd post because most people are saying to go for person c.. and if you listen to them you may feel like you're being forced into a false-sense of love.

ShadowNeko13 [2009-10-06 01:13:35 +0000 UTC]
Person C. Don't hurt them just because of some left over residual feelings. That's not fair to them.
Also, and I think this about SO MANY secrets goddamn. Love is a lot more than a crush and a 2 month relationship. Please stop throwing that word around. If it was really love, there would be no doubt in your mind as to who to pick. So you just really like them. Love is also a two-person affair- so you just have a big crush. It annoys and upsets me because I know that all these people who throw it around and "love" a different person every few months have no idea what real love is.

Laykein In reply to ShadowNeko13 [2009-10-06 22:04:28 +0000 UTC]
That's the problem, they don't know what love is so they guess. You can't get upset at people for using a word when they have no idea what the feeling is like. If they think it is love, maybe it is, only time will tell. And their feelings for that person makes them choice the word. If someone says they love someone, then their feelings have to be stronger then what liking someone is like.
The people use the word love because they are unsure of what it feels like, and will be until something shows them what it really is, and from then on they would know. So don't get upset because it is just a word, and words have different meanings to those who choose them.

-shrugs- I am sorry the word annoys you. Perhaps I should have picked "like", but my relationship with both B & C is terribly complicated, and far beyond what that word defines.

Oh no, I didn't say it annoys me, I was standing up for you. >>
I'm sorry you thought that I did, but it doesn't bother me or anything. I completely understand the complicated relationship you are in right now. I didn't mean for my reply to come off as I was agreeing with that person.

Little-Miss-AiLy [2009-10-06 01:05:01 +0000 UTC]
I actually just dealt with a mild form of this about a week ago.
Placing myself as Person A, I had gotten with Person C, only for Person B to get back in the picture and for me to realize that I maybe/probably was in love with Person B. The fact of the matter was, if I was still thinking so much of Person B despite being with Person C and despite Person C being wonderful and practically perfect, it was pretty obvious who I actually wanted / should try for. So, I'm still working on Person B, but Person C and I are actually quite good friends despite everything. Turns out, Person C had a Person D, anyway.
I guess the real idea behind this, which is really something I had believed before but never really applied, is that strong enough emotions are never truly one-sided. If this helped you, ST, I'm glad for you. If not, well, at least it made a semi-interesting story..? Either way, go where you think is best.

Depends ... did person B leave by his/her own free will?
Or did person B leave because he/she had to?

danii-01 [2009-10-05 23:36:33 +0000 UTC]
I thought of it as Person B physically moving away so.. It seems to me that it should really be based on what the consequences are.. If Person B is still very much in love with Person A, and Person C loves Person A just as much.. then it comes down to how much Person B and Person C know Person A, or how they make Person A feel.

masqueradex7 [2009-10-05 22:49:19 +0000 UTC]
person b left. i'd think that you should stay with c because they seem like they love you. but if you don't love them enough to stay and still want person b, then i wouldn't hurt C that way.

I pick Jacob because I'm a sucker for relationships where guys love girls as friends more than romances. That kind of deep love is rare, true and deeper than most 'love' people find themselves in. I guess not true of Bella/Edward, but whatever.

Bright-Circle In reply to xjust-anna [2009-10-07 19:25:40 +0000 UTC]
This whole business of friendship being 'less' than romance never fails to piss me off. Romance isn't MORE, it's just DIFFERENT. And romantic love isn't inherently deeper than any other kind of love (except maybe love of pizza, but let's not nitpick) .
That's why I can never completely get into those songs that are all 'oh i need romantic love because i want a deep connection with another person who will always be there for me'. Uh, try your best friend. Or your freakin' family, you know?

AnnaKlava [2009-10-05 21:53:48 +0000 UTC]
Stick with person C. I have a friend in a similar situation and this girl he had a huge crush on finally likes him a year later and he still loves her but loves his current gf too.
I told him that it's most likely that that crush he had won't stay with him for long due to certain circumstances and it's not worth it. I just hope he forgets about this crush, "B".
C loves you more than B because now that they are with you they are pursuing that love with you and B can get over it because if you dump C for B be might just leave again. :/
I hope that made sense. ^^

That's always been my own opinion. If you supposedly "can't pick" between two people, then neither one is really right for you. When the right one comes, it won't be a contest.

Miotas-Sisceal In reply to Ms-internet-stalker [2009-10-06 01:31:59 +0000 UTC]
It's not so much a matter of "not being able to pick." Either one of them could be right. But when you have two people that you care deeply for, it can be difficult to differentiate between who you would find to be better for you, not necessarily just picking between two people.
And speaking from experience, yes, I do agree that when the right one comes, you will know. But until that time comes, how do you compare? If you truly care about someone, then at the time, your heart says "this is the one." But then an old flame comes back, one you're not necessarily completely over yet. It happens, as human beings we like to hold on to our most fond memories.
And these memories, combined with the memories we hold of the one we are currently with, can confuse us. Deep down we want everyone to be happy with our decisions, but when a decision can possibly hurt someone, that adds even more to the confusion--because we don't want to purposefully hurt anyone.
That's why I think Person A should take time for themselves--not be with neither B nor C; because so long as those two are extremely close to A, A will end up being more confused and more hurt would just come around in the long run.

yeah, though I'm not sure why. But that's mostly because Jacob appeals to me more than Edward. And even though it was a fool thing to do, Edward left BECAUSE he cared so much about her.
