"Once burned, twice wary" eh, Scruffy?
Wannabj,
We're all reading things into your dilemma based on our own lives. Yeah, Scruffy is right that someone who truly loves you doesn't play mind games.
8 could just not have experience dealing with the issue of having to choose, or he could be a cold-hearted, back-stabbing, lying son-of-a-bitch. Or anywhere in between.
Reality is he's doing these things to you. They are affecting you emotionally. You are on a rollercoaster and feel out of control of things. That is the worst of this issue. You have no control and are feeling the effects.
One way to regain control is to figure the worst case scenario and work out a way to deal with it. Right now you are just reacting to what is happening. Plan for potential eventualities. That way when one of them happens, you can control your reaction and your actions. You will not be blindly reacting to the moment.
Other than that, take extra special care of yourself and don't forget to thank 25 for being there for you. He sounds like the real catch here.
