I had a girlfriend who broke my heart 4 years ago, during this time i met and fell for another girl, she fell for me even more so. We went out for a year, it was amazing but I was afraid of being hurt again and pushed her away, she eventually met sombody else and in my jealousy and anger i pushed her away completly eg quit our place of work, deleted number, refused to speak to her totally.

2 quick years passed as she moved in with her new boyfriend. I was applying for a job at a new place and when i went on my interview day she was there having an interview aswell.. you can call it fate perhaps but we both got the job. I hadnt seen her in 2 years and i thought it would be awkward but it was anything but, we got on even better. We flirted to the extent that managers had to have words with us. She then started to tell me she's falling for me again and thinks she's in love with me but confused as she also loves her boyfriend. She told me if she broke up with her boyfriend she would jump at the chance to be with me.

A year passed with us constantly flirting together and being so close however she couldnt leave her boyfriend. She quit our workplace to get another job, 2 weeks after i quit also. Then a week later her boyfriend said he doesnt love her anymore and finished with her, she was so heartbroken and i was the only one there for her. I didnt want to take advantage as i truly cared for her and i didnt want tobe a rebound so i kept my distance while trying to support and get her through it.

Then funnily enough she didnt speak to me for a whole month, i text her a few times but never got replies, i didnt persist too much as i didnt want to seem too eager. But then finally we bumped into each other and spoke. She explained she hadnt spoke to me recently in case i thought she wanted to be with me and didnt want to lead me on as all she could think about was her ex. She explained she isn't interested in guys at the moment and just wants to be on her own. I respected her wishes and just tried to be a good friend to her.

Then i was shocked one morning to discover she had slept with one of my friends, a friend she had only met a week earlier and i had introduced her to. I phoned her to say i can't believe what shes done and that i don't want to know her anymore, she said fine and told me she's not even bothered. Now (3 weeks later) I hear they are together.

Im just so confused as to why she had led me on for the last year telling me she thinks she's in love with me, and now isn't interested at all. I'm not the best looking guy, my friend is really handsome like a model, perhaps she's changed and turned shallow, but it doesnt stop me from being rather hurt and i feel quite betrayed by it all.

Do you think this is perhaps a rebound thing? And she does still like me? Or should i just give up and remove her from my life completely, currently we are not talking. And i dont know what to do because i think i do love her.
