I have a question. Please answer truthfully

I made a promise with someone about not dating someone that I really like. And I would do anything to date him, even break the promise. And my question is: Is some promises meant to be broken?

my ex boyfriend and i dont talk to him anymore and my friend is trying to get the guy to call me so we can get to know each other before we even think about dating. if that helps anyone.

hes trying to control my life while and after we stopped dating and basically he doesnt want me happy

What did you get in return for this "promise?"

If the answer is nothing, the promise is also worth nothing.

It's time to move on and stop letting your ex (or anyone else) try to control your life.

i agree.

Bob- such a wise and insightful man- listen to him ;)

NEVER BREAK A PROMISE...

Think about how you'd feel if this was done to you! It has happened to me, and it hurts like hell...

Never break a promise? A pointless and meaningless promise is meant to be broken.

thanks for everybody's help. If you ever need help you can email me. and thanks again it really means a lot to me.

A promise is only the same worth to the people who made it, if that boyfriend made it out of jealousy or annoyance - then break it.

If he did it to protect you, maybe consider why that would be.

yes they are. this guy is yoru friend the one you made the promise to well if that so he would wont you to be happy right yeah and if this other guy makes you happy then go for it. why should you not be happy with someone because of that. talk to the guy you made the promise to make him understand maybe that will help but if you do go out with this other guy dont hide it it will only hurt you in the end

No. Promises are never meant to be broken. That's why they're called PROMISES.

You should not break your promise, I just don't understand why you would make such a promise in the first place.

thanks again for all your help. It means a lot

all my life, promises have been broken so its something im used to. but what you should do is talk to your ex about how you feel about this guy. and if your ex really cares about you, he will want you to be happy.. and so you wouldnt actually be breaking the promise.

i think you answered your own question. my ex is trying the excact same thing in a way, i just remind where he stands, and tell him im with someone else now...and have been for a while. hes just trying to be a friend but that promise needs to be broken girl...

Thanks Already Beautiful you've helped me a lot and thanks to all of you that answered too. Means a lot. Peace and Love
