Merc, you need to cut these other chicks off and stick with Marya, IMHO. The Ex sounds like a
P S Y C H O and needs some help. She's the one who can't deal with the breakup, and she's mercilessly forcing her insecurity onto you. Breakups are tough, but there's always light at the end of the tunnel. Let her go, man. She still thinks, no....KNOWS you have feelings for her. Hell, ya spent 4 HOURS on the phone?!?! C'mon, dude, you're only hurting yourself. I've been in this very situation before, and the best thing to do is let your ex know, and realize, that it's over FOR GOOD. As much as a small part of your heart wants to be back with that person, you have to think with your head on this. Believe me, I was with someone for 3.5 years, and getting over it was no easy task. In hindsight, which is always 20/20
, it was a better move for me, emotionally, financially, etc. Don't worry about Bee. I'm willing to bet she at least has a level head, and won't get in the way too much. She just wants a happy ending for her friend, like everybody here does for you. Plan
B sounds like the best plan, 'cept I'd wear protection of I were you.
