My ex-boyfriend and I both told each other we loved each other. He doesn't want to get back together because he has issues that doesn't seem to go away. It's along the same reasons we broke up. Should I wait until he gets over them or just get over him? I really love him, and he seems to care about me.

You should probably ask him whatever it is that bugged him so much with these issues, will he ever be able to get past them. And, if he says a long time, then you could probably wait, but, I think you'll grow pretty sad being alone for a long time knowing that you guys can have something, but you don't.

No waiting or wanting to talk things over or giving him space.Just block him out, go hangout with the girls, do stuff that wont remind you of him... I know it seems hard but you can do it. Girls can do anything when we set our minds to it! [ jcpennypanties's advice column | Ask jcpennypanties A Question ]

Once upon a time I was in a very similiar situation. My ex-boyfriend had "issues" too. We started dating, broke up, dated again and became serious, broke up again, got back together, broke up again, got back together, and then...broke up...again. Why did we keep getting back together? Because he said he had worked out his issues. Why did we keep breaking up? Because the same old issue popped up once more, or he found a new one to replace it entirely.
The last time he begged me to come back to him, I remember thinking...I remember thinking that maybe the problem wasn't his issues. Maybe the problem was that he couldn't decided whether or not he wanted the relationship that I wanted.
I believe this could be true for you too. Why? Because if he really loves you, and wants to be with you, and you really love him, and want to be with him, why aren't the two of you together now? He wouldn't let his issues stand in the way of something that he really wanted.
My advice is: move on my dear.Find someone worthy of you. Find someone who won't let their issues get in the way of what they want. YOU!
Warning: you'll feel awful at first, but after a while, you'll feel a lot better than you ever did when you were dating your now ex-boyfriend.
But, that is my opinion. Take it or leave it. The choice is yours. Either way I hope you find what you are looking for, and I wish you the best of luck ;) [ Missa8305's advice column | Ask Missa8305 A Question ]
MummuM answered Friday February 25 2005, 3:15 pm: I can see that both you and him care about eachother a lot, so wait for him! I'm guessing you both still talk to eachother? Just keep being there for him when he needs to talk to anyone. If he needs any help with these problems, tell him your always a call away. Maybe you could help him out with some. So don't give up and stay right by his side. I'm sure once these problems are gone, you and him will be back together!

Karen answered Friday February 25 2005, 3:01 pm: If you truely love this guy, then definitely wait for him to get over his issues and such. You should never get over him because once he is over his issues, you two probably will get back together. Since your ex-boyfriend seems to care about you, why don't you show him that you care for him by helping him out with his issues. If some of them are about why you two broke, then you can fix that.
