I was in a situation very similar to yours back in October. Of course, I have a tendency to gravitate towards the guys with fast cars and even faster motorcycles. He made me feel like the queen of the world until one day it all fell apart. He claims he doesn't get back together with exes, but made a few attempts at getting back into my bed (and head) for old time's sake. I was being the victim of his mind-control games. He knows he's hot and a charmer, and he uses it to his advantage. It took a long time to get over him. The moment I realized I had control of the situation and didn't need him in my life anymore was the day I stood up to him face to face and said "you can't hurt me anymore." That was such a liberating experience. The look on his face was one of defeat (and sheer shock). I don't think any girl had ever declared her independence and let him know that he doesn't control every one he comes in contact with. Like someone else said, your pride is your strongest weapon in this situation. Use it!
