Can I get some advice from people I don't know?

In defense of the guys, I don't feel they are being anti-brotherly or putting me before their bro. Yes, it's nice that they can tell me to my face that they believe I'm better off without him, but I doubt they would say that to his face because their his bros, and that's fine with me. (emphasis added) I just feel that they are standing up for what they believe, and if they believe I'm better off with a guy like Mark, then that's fine by me.

Uhhh. Not only are his brothers backstabbers but they are two faced.

A word about Alex also. You did a good thing facing down your temptation, and he really has no right to accept unless . . .

Unless you maintained sometype of physical intimacy (sex or hook-ups) with him AFTER the formal breaking up.

IF you did, then you were still brave, but he has a valid reason to be hurt and confused. Why? Because it wouldbe like a second break-up.

The first break-up was from going steady. The second break-up was from "dating", which is what friends with benefits really are.
