Yes I have and I didn't like it!!
No one likes Heartbreak. My first actual heartbreak was before I graduated from high school, about 3 years ago. I was heart broken for two years straight...second worst hell i ever been through.
It seems the other guy is flirting with Sam.
I'm not trying to stereotype, but Gay guys flirt with each other a lot, even when thier not together. That's atleast been my experience.
I'm VERY picky when it comes to a guy I choose to date, not based much on looks, but more so on whether or not I feel I can trust the guy.
Every single date I have ever been on (with another guy) has turned into a hook up. Now, people may say "oh ur lucky, you went to 3rd base on the first date", but in reality, it kills everything.
When you give it up to a guy the first time, he pretty much thinks he's had the best of you, and there's nothing left, so he may no longer be interested.
I'm sure you know this already, but it's good to be reminded.

Now, as for Sam and the other guy....You need to set things straight ! It's different if the guy asks "how are you" and "wat's up", innocent things, but if the guy is pretty much hitting on your boyfreind, and your boyfreind thinks its okay, then yeah, you have every right to be mad about it.
Talk to Sam, and tell him it bothers you when the other guy flirts with him...why shouldn't it ? If you were in a straight relationship, and another guy was hitting on your girl, you'd be just as mad !
Gay relations shouldn't have "exceptions". If the guy is into you, he should be loyal to you, and not crave attention or compliments from other guys, only you.
I know you may be afraid to turn Sam away, but he needs to respect you. You can't sell yourself just because your afraid of losing someone. Trust me, I've been there before, settling for less, torturing myself over another guy, no one is worth it.
I made a pact to myself: I will never suffer over someone who wont suffer over me
I suggest you make the same rule for yourself Marko.
And if Sam can't understand it, or still clings to an ex who is trying to claim him back, then maybe he isn't ready to move to another relationship just yet. I hope this helped. I'm not trying to downtalk you, but you are 17, and still have a lot to learn about other guys. You will learn eventually that the only man you truly need is yourself. Having a boyfreind is just an extra bonus of life.
