    Sorry OP, but I think you should run a mile. You deserve to be treated better.

    Can you explain more please?

    I agree I feel uncomfortable but the hopeful side of me is thinking they are just friends, as there is no flirting or romantic messages between them. Just general chit chat.

    It's not as bad as it sounds. Yes we have put in 2000 hours into the game but there are 30 of us in the guild, so it's not just me he talked to. Him and I were completely platonic while he was still in his relationship with her. She even was in our guild too when they were a couple, but she stopped playing after a few weeks. So I guess I'm also confused why he would keep chatting to her about the game when he has me and 30 others to chat to about it.

    Have you thought about going for a walk?

    So why post? You're going to get the same answers as last time.

    How do you know she wanted him back and he said no?
    The word "dilemma" comes from Greek where "di" means two and "lemma" means premise. Refers usually to difficult choice between two undesirable options.
    Often people seem to use this word mistakenly where "quandary" would fit better.

    Because he showed me the texts and letters she sent him. She was clearly madly in love with him still.

    So you believe references to the times when they were together "I do not know how I am going to do it without you" are acceptable general chit chat between recently separated in a new relationship?

    Did he show you his replies?

    I agree that comment was odd for him to say. That's the comment that bothered me the most and why I came on this forum again as it's been on my mind.

    What do you think that comment to her might mean? Could he still have romantic feelings for her as that's what I've been worried about

    Yes he did. He told her he was really sorry that he couldn't be with her anymore but that he still cared as a friend.

    His texts to her back then are what I'm holding on to and what are giving me hope he doesn't love her.

    So he was a bit bored and he left her for an 18 year old with no relationship experience. Seemed like fun at the time. There's none of that boring day to day grown up stuff with an 18 year old who lives far away.

    Now he's realised he was probably onto a good thing and regrets his decision but she's woken up to what a s**t he is and is having none of it.

    All the while you're being strung along, thinking this is some sort of romance. It really really isn't.

    You sound very naive and young for your age OP, I would recommend throwing yourself into college and trying to socialise with some of the people on your course a bit more, maybe try taking up a hobby or a part time job that gets you out of the house and isn't online?
