Question Posted Thursday November 17 2005, 7:53 pm
i'm 15 (sophomore) and my boyfriend is 17 (junior). we've been dating for around a year and four months. lately, i've been getting SO annoyed of him. everything he does just pisses me off now? i see him almost everyday, except the days he doesn't work. he always asks me questions... he always thinks i'm going to break up with him.. i don't know what to do.. but i need to figure it out soon. he told me he wants to buy me a promise ring and i think it kind of scared me. i don't know if it's time to take a break or call it quits. but i know if i do break it off, i'll regret it.. someone help me.. i rate high!

i know that sounds mean, but its not meant that way at all
he is getting under skin and more than likely, yoi under his too
he is always asking questions because he probably noticed that a lot of the things that he is doing is bothering you
and he wants to know how long he still has with you
the thing about the promise ring, it is just an attempt to get you to stay with you
if you are really getting sick of him and almost all of the things that he is doing is bothering you, then it is time to part ways
a lot of people will say that this is just a rough spot, but a lot of the times these things don't work out.
i hope that things work out and that everything will smooth out [ fall_to_pieces's advice column | Ask fall_to_pieces A Question ]

It just comes with being with the same person ALL the time. It happens with family, friends, co-workers, roommates, significant others, and the rest. If you know you will regret breaking it off, then take some extra "you" time. There is nothing wrong with that and as long as you make it clear to him that it does not signify the end of your relationship, he should be ok with it.
He is asking questions because he is picking up on the fact that you are annoyed with him. This probably makes the two of you fight or causes some distance that wasn't already there. He is probably feeling insecure because he is unsure of what is going on inside your head. This is normal. If it buggs you, then you need to clear it up for him. If he continues to keep asking, just respond with the fact that this was already discussed and he knows how you feel. He is wanting reassurance and will keep asking as long as you keep repeating yourself. [ Chicken_flavored_eggs's advice column | Ask Chicken_flavored_eggs A Question ]

Here's what i think you should do. You should just call it quits, obviously he likes you way more than you like him. If you are having mixed feelings or you just flat out don't like him you have to be honest with him and you have to quit leading him on even though you probably don't mean too. I hoped i helped and if i didn't i'm sorry but that's exactly what i would do.Having a boyfriend is sopposed to be fun not a hassle to go through every day. You should be fair to him and to yourself and let both of you move on to find soemone else who feels equally about the other one.
