Before we started dating we had conversations about our past. She had been with one guy but it didn’t work out. According to her, it ended because the guy was putting pressure on her to get intimate with him. She hadn’t done it before and she wasn’t ready to do it then.

They talked about it before their relationship began but he changed his mind along the line and started using every means possible to seduce her. When she stood her ground, he accused her of not loving him and broke up with her.

Their relationship ended over a year before we met. Despite her reservations about intimacy, she didn’t keep me waiting for long. We ended up doing it a few months into our relationship. I didn’t push for it. She was the one who told me she was ready.

We are currently one year and a few months down the line. We didn’t have problems. Even if we did, it was just matters regarding miscommunication. Once we talk to clarify things, we move on smoothly.

That’s one thing I like about us, the fact that we talk. There’s nothing we don’t tell each other. I even know that her ex is back in the picture and he is trying to get back together with her. She told me everything.

He left her to go look for someone who would give him the sex he wanted but he found out it wasn’t enough. Although my relationship is shaking because of his presence, I don’t blame him for coming back.

Sylvia is a good girl. She has a soft heart. Any man who let go would know they made a mistake. When she gave herself to me, I saw it as a sign of how deeply she loves and values me. But something tells me she loves her ex more and that she still loves him.

I’ve tried in my own way to help her move on from those feelings, but it hasn’t worked. Despite knowing how she feels about him, I am not worried that she is doing anything behind my back. They don’t talk constantly but whenever he texts or calls her, she tells me about it. So I trust her completely.

I love her truly. I know she loves me too. I just wish she could completely let go of the feelings she still has for her ex, so that I can be at peace with what we have. I don’t know how to help her. What can I do for her to kill her feelings for him?
