Right ok, im gonna try explain this as best as i can, its rather complicated tho. Warning, long post.

This all goes bak to bout a yr ago and the 1st guy i ever properly liked. I thought i luvd him, but he was the kinda guy that wud say anyfin to get what he wants, and i soaked it up like a naieve sponge. I got hurt real bad there, ended up losin th 1 thing i wanted to keep u no, and as a result, i didnt wanna let him go, even tho i knew anyfin he said was lies. I fot if i cud change him, and it all worked out, my mistake wudnt be so bad. I fell for his act twice, each time vowing not to again, but yet i would, it was only a matter of time.
Then, after the 2nd time, i started going out with his 3rd cuz, who wos a decent nice genuine guy, was alwis being compared to his cuz tho. He had reservations tho, that he wos the rebound guy. I didnt think he was, it seemed i wos over th 1st guy. Bout a month into the relationship, the 1st guy, who needs a name, mick, started on me, flirting and stuff. Now me bf, had said he wud, but i didnt believe him at the time, and continued trying to be micks friend. In the end up, mick made a move on me, not wanting to cheat, i didnt let him, but then he told me my bf had asked him to make me cheat, just so he cud dump me. I felt totally hurt by this, as well as confused by my returning feelings for mick, and later that day, id kissed him, convinced myself it wosnt cheating, cos i wos gonna get dumped either way. A few wks later, i proper cheated, had sex wif mick. Was fooled, a 3rd time as later of course, i found out mick wos lying thru his teeth, and id lost my bf cos of it, not only that, mick had turned me agenst him slightly. Tho, just talking to him, brought everything back, i cudnt believe how stupid id been.
Obv, he needed time, but he did say he'd go back out with me. Tho he wos really hurt i trusted mick over him. And mick even made it out so that he wosnt actually lying, i wos to 'think outside the box'. I cudnt stop feeling for mick, as well as me ex as well, i didnt know wot to do or think.
And, 1 of me guy mates id liked for ages asked me out. I had pretty much had enuf confusion wif both previous guys, and wanted something easier so i sed yea. This only strengthened the blow to me ex, who wos considerin goin bak out wif me, but i had to go and get un-single. Things went ok wif that guy for a few wks or so, but me ex was talking to me more and more and i cudnt deny wot i stil felt for him. I had to dump me bf. Ive never dumped anyone before tho, and didnt wanna hurt him and so i delayed it, made promises to me ex, me bf and mick that went agenst eachother for fear of losing any of them. Me ex and mick got togeva, realised this, and made me think id lost them, it wos yet anova blow. Tho, in the end, me bf dumped me, wen i wos gonna dump him so that wos sorted.
Things were looking up, he had lost trust in me cos i cheated, but i wos getting it back. Until a few wks ago. I had recently started talking to anova guy, not 1 i particularly liked that much, but hed talk to me. It wos pretty obv he wos making all sorts of moves on me, and asked me to meet him.(he knew my mate so i wosnt worried bout that). I didnt really want to, but i kinda felt i had to, or else id have felt bad for letting him think he had a chance. The night before, i had opportunity to tell this to me ex, who i knew wuda been hurt at me wif anova guy. I was gonna, but chickened out. Instead id been sayin how even tho i wos single i wosnt gonna meet ova guys, yea i meant aftr th next day, but it wos the worst thing i cuda done to say that then. I wrestled with every instinct inside me not to go, but did anyway, and felt i had to kiss him, cos it wos expected it seemed. I didnt enjoy myself at all, it had no meaning, i was betraying my ex for no reason, all cos i cudnt say no. He txtd me that day, asking wot i was up to, i said truthfully i wos wif the guy, and obv he went mental. He got me to meet him, and we talked a lot. he really didnt know what to do with our situation. And mick wasnt helping, he wos trying to turn us agenst eachother, and for that reason, any feeling towards mick is now gone.
So this left us in a terrible mess, trust at emergency lvl. He's always suspicious of me, paranoid, and doesnt trust anything i say, he cant believe i love him, when i do so much. And to make things worse, i keep lying about my motivation for things, the cheating, meeting the guy etc, cos im scared if i say what i mean id lose him for good. But the lying just makes it worse when he knows im lying, and that makes him trust me less.I cant stop it tho, i dont even know my reasons for things myself anymore.
I dont think i deserve him, but i cant live wifout him. I need help on how to rebuild trust, and stop lying before its too late. We are going out again, but its only been 3 days and already theres problems. He cant dump me, but he cant pretend he's not hurt by this.
I just ont know what to do.
Advice would be appreciated, especially if u managed to get thru the long complicated post :)

i think if you are ever going to have a meaningful relationship with him, you need to be truthful about everything, even if the truth hurts. all relationships should be based on trust and i'm sure you know that already. building of trust doesn't just happen, it develops over time, so you need to be able to prove to him that he can trust everything you do and say. if this isn't possible for you, then i fear that no matter how much you love him, your relationship will struggle.

Honestly? I think you need some 'alone time' and not be any relationship for a while. You get involved with the wrong guys for the wrong reasons, and I think you need a better understanding on why you do this. It's way too important for you, you make bad choices for yourself, you end up getting hurt. Something else is driving you to be involved, you NEED it too much.

Take some time off, be with your girlfriends for a while, tolerate the empptiness (or whatever you expereince) without a b/f, and see if you cannot better understand all of this, so that when you get reinvolved with *whoever*, there's a better chance it will work out. Right now, it really seems as if there's too much of your own stuff interferring with that, and forcing the issue only leads to failure.

I agree with both the previous posts.

If you are going on a date with the guy you met tell the truth, lies just lead to more lies (vicious cycle). Telling the truth also shows the guy that you trust him to accept it, which in turn shows him that you want to gain his trust. I know that if I were that guy I'd just want the truth, not some more lies.

If you end up not going out with this guy, some alone time could do you some good. Not being in a relationship will help you sort these things out. If you feel you are looking for a relationship still find a hobby. Getting away from the stress of that relationship could help you think clearer.

I hope I helped solve your problem. :)

Ok, things do seem to be looking up. I've stopped lying, I know that the truth is better in the long run, even if it hurts at the time. Lying is only a temporary solution, and when you're found out, it's worse than ever. He said this himself. Some earlier things, I honestly don't know my reasons for anymore. Instead of making up reasons, that may be only part true, being truthful about my confusion is probably better. And for later dates, anything that does happen, I mention what I'm feeling, when I do. This means I actually have some idea what's going on in my mind, and so does he.
There still are occasions where the hurt takes over him, but they're occuring less. If I can make it through them, which I know I can, if I have hope, which is pretty much my best source of strength, things will be ok. There was only one spell in the past few days. Trust, has proved its significance over the past few months. I understand how difficult it is to rebuild, but it will be worth it in the end.

Thanks guys for reading and advising. You helped a lot. :)
I'll keep you posted, if you want :P
