Yesterday my boyfriend of six months broke up with me. We broke up because he has to work this summer and he says itll be really hard for him to just see me for one day a week instead of the six that were used to. I was so sad after hearin this, I cried almost all night cause i really miss him. Now last night he started to second guess himself, and he tells me how he made a huge mistake and he didnt think it thru. Well he wants me back for the summer. What sould i do, I do really like him amd want him around. Should i let him back??? just be friends??? or take a step backwards and say were just dating again????? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Additional info, added Thursday May 26 2005, 8:14 am: Oh and he is going to a new school next year and i dont htink he wants a girl friend when he starts..

Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life? aimee answered Friday May 27 2005, 4:26 pm: Hhhm, I think he does realise he has made a mistake, and it doesn't matter how little you see of him, it will make your time together more special, and give you more things to talk about! I personally think that, for the time being anyway, you should take him back and give things a go, to see what happens. Anyway, you can still see each other evenings maybe? Or you can ring each other and text and email one another. I think you should just take each step as it comes, and cross every small bridge when you come to it. Hope it all works out well. : ) [ aimee's advice column | Ask aimee A Question ]
sweetpea318_247 answered Thursday May 26 2005, 8:30 pm: take him back...everybody deserves a second chance...its not like he cheated on you or dumped you so he could go have a one night stand with somebody and then wants you back...the boy made a mistake...everyone makes mistakes...take him back and then come the end of summer right before school starts if you guys are still together and are doing really well then you talk about what you are gonna do when he goes to a new school...best of luck to the 2 of you hope it all works out

orphans answered Thursday May 26 2005, 11:22 am: you should go out with him again. talk to him about his job and work out a time when you guys can hang out with each other. it's only for the summer, so when you get back in school, ya'll can be with each other a lot more. hope it works out!

advice~gurl answered Thursday May 26 2005, 10:53 am: This guy isn't serious. He just wants a girl to show off. I would suggest you say no to him, tell him there are plenty fish in the sea and even better ones than him. If he is going to keep breaking up you and can't make up his mind then that shows he doesn't really know himself. Ask yourself, do you want a guy that will break up with you the minute something new comes along?
I hope the answer is no, because this guy isn't worth your time and effection.
karenR answered Thursday May 26 2005, 9:10 am: Sounds to me like he missed you too. I think its okay to go out with him. Is his new school far away or something? Is he moving away too? If not then you should still be able to see him at some point. If you have feelings for him then go for it. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
MmSBaBe167 answered Thursday May 26 2005, 8:12 am: just date again because he'll be sad and you will probably rethink it if you dont so just tell him you accept his offer for going back out and you should talk to him about his job plans i doubt that you'll only see him once a week so talk to him and get back together!good luck
chakra answered Thursday May 26 2005, 7:52 am: i'd go for it sweetie, you obviously want to be with eachother and if you love eachother you can make it work. my boyfriends at uni and have to see each other 1 day a week (unless i stay with him at uni) and it works. you appreciate the time you have together so much more. make sure that one day you see eachother is a special day and spend some really nice quality time together.

HeathaAa answered Thursday May 26 2005, 7:37 am: I would say to go back out with him. If you really like him as much as you say you do then you will only be hurting yourself by not going back with him..it's not like he did anything wrong to you like cheated on you, lied to you, etc. He just made a bad decision & is now realizing that!

BrittanyWeaver answered Thursday May 26 2005, 7:35 am: to your question you just really have to think about it if you miss him as you say you do go back with him, if your the 1 with second thoughts the just be friends deal is right for you, or you can just sit down n tlak with him n figure out were your relationship is going. i good luck i hope i helped you!!
