Anonymous asked: Eight years ago I got into a relationship and I've been trying to get out ever since then... a month ago I started seeing someone and I know I have to get out of my relationship. The only thing is, do I trust this boy? Do I believe him? He looks me directly in the eyes and tells me he's never felt like this, but he's about to graduate from the college and move 16 hours away back home.. hoping I'll follow suit. But if I do, how long do I wait between leaving my current and going to my new beau? And how do I protect my heart?

Leave your current relationship as soon as possible. Why are you waiting if you know you don’t want to be with him? It’s not fair to have someone on the side while you’re thinking about plans with your new lover. A month is very short and there is no way to know if your new boy will be genuine, it is completely up to you to follow your gut instinct. That being said, you don’t always have to be in a relationship, if someone isn’t right for you, break it off.
