Is it worth it?


Question Posted Saturday November 19 2005, 4:13 pm

I've been going out with my boyfriend for about 3 months but it seems like every week or so we have some misunderstanding anf get in a little fight. It's never anything big and we make up pretty quickly, but I'm starting to wonder if there's something I can do about it or if maybe I should just break up with him.

I really love spending time with him - he makes me laugh, treats me well, talks things out - but maybe we are just on two different levels and I should keep my options open.
What would be best?

P.S. He's a little older than me so he has more freedoms than I do (something that gets in the way)

Hm.. You might want to. Picture it this. Picture hes married to you and lets just pretend you have a kid (Im not saying this would happnd but this is how i would put it)

Would you want to disapoint the kid and keep getting into fights? then have to get a divorce? No, i wouldnt


Id really drop him, but its up to you

i think that you should dump him that way you could find someone closer to your age.Also that way nothing really gets in the way. but you need to think about how you feel about him and if you realize that you don't love HIM then you should definitly get out of that relationship but stay close friends with him if you want too.

The closer people are, the more likely they are to get into arguments, or little tiffs. It's pretty much inevitable. There isn't a couple in the world that doesn't fight -- and the ones that claim they don't obviously have no strong emotional attachment to one another. Think about it, it's only people you deeply care about who you end up arguing with. Or at least, it's like that for me. If someone I don't care about, or someone who annoys me, says something or does something stupid I'll just let it go. But when it someone you do care about, or even love, you can't just let these things go. It's weird the way the world works.

Think about this though: you say you make up pretty quickly. That says a lot about your relationship. You guys can talk things out and work things out before they become an issue. You guys must really care about each other, or else you wouldn't go to that effort. I don't think there's really a problem there. It's normal. However, if you are in doubt maybe you should talk things over with him. Sort out the source of your arguments and try and prevent it from happening again. For now though, I wouldn't do anything rash like breaking it off with him.

Well...i definately think if you rele like this kid then stay together! because it sounds loves he likes you because he always wants to work things out! since the misunderstandings are just small things then just try and forget about them..but if you two start getting in big or seruois fights all the time then i think you should try and talk to him and if that doesnt work then break up..but for now i think you both really like eachother and you should stay together!
hope i helped*

If you really like this guy have a long talk if necessary about you too putting your best effort in maintaining the relationship and that you too shouldn't be fighting you too should try to come into an agreement without arguing and also let him know that you want things to change and improve for the both of you.I know a couple that has been together four years,they are still dating,they had gotten through arguements,been able to let that get in the way, got over it,apologize to each other then were happy again.The two of you should follow their example.But if he doesn't want to change or at least try you should break up with him because it will show he doesn't care about the relationship.

If hes as great as you make him seem and can talk things out, try to talk to him about it. Explain that these little fights are affecting you and your realtionship and see what he says. After you talk to him, if things aren't the way you planned, do what your heart feels is best for you but try not to regret the dicison you make in the long run. Take time to think about it and if you have more question or problems with how things are going talk to him. Theres nothing to lose. Hope it helps!
