text: help me!!! what do i do? i have such a problem. first off, i am not entirely allowed to date; but my mom says if i do decided to, to tell her and not to keep it from her like she found out i did previously.  my now ex-boyfriend and i met online. after quite some time we were able to meet. we fell in love and he ended up going through clinical depression. to save us both and not pull me down with him, he broke up with me.  during that time, i found another guy and we went out. we did some things i now regret. later on after we did them my mom found out, but it was after that guy and i were already broke up.  much later after he and i were broke up, my first ex and i began to date again. during the whole time we never lost contact or our love for one another. i was so happy, life was falling back into place. but now, my 1st ex, who was the current boyfriend; semi-broke up with me. i say 'semi' because he said he wasn't breaking up, he just needed a mutual seperation because of the distance. ur still young. give yourself time. experience life more. expand ur mind first. that's why ur mom wanted to know if u date cuz then if u needed advice she can offer them to u. she's just there to protect u. not trying to ruin ur life or anything.
