I honestly don't think I like my boyfriend anymore. He's wayy too protective, and he'll always say the stupidest things. I just woke up this morning & I really don't like him as much as I used to. Should I ignore this feeling, and maybe it'll go away? Or, do you think you shouldn't have negative feelings about your relationship when you're dating someone? + I'm NOT Pmsing. (: lol Thanks.
WE_L0St_0UR_hEAdSx answered Saturday December 17 2005, 1:58 pm: well, i have been together with my boyfriend for over a year now and we sometimes get in little fights because i will say something like i am supposed to call one of my guy friends or i think some actor (adam brody) is hot.. he makes me really angry sometimes because he is so sensitive, but then i realize that he only gets so upset because he loves me and cares about me so much he doesn't want any other guys to have me. i'm not saying it's okay for a guy to be overprotective, but maybe it's just because he cares. if you really are starting to feel like you guys aren't right for eachother though, make that decision soon, don't lead him on or anything.

MissJessicaPaige answered Friday December 16 2005, 2:51 pm: Well, feelings like that just don't happen over night. You must have had them before but never felt them. I know that sounds weird but whenever you think about it, it actually isn't. This is what I mean. Like sometimes you don't like him and you just ignore it, and it gets stored in your brain. And I guess this paticualar morning, you just reliezed it all. It's not bad to have feelings about your relationship whenever you're dating someone. That what happens. Whether its feelings of love or hate. And if you don't like him anymore, then just break up with him. If you still want to go out with him and stuff,..just tell him that, you think he is being too protective and that you're your own person. And for the, "He says the stupidest things" part, guys are retards. They just try to say them to make you laugh. You could tell him just watch what he says.
hco_babe answered Friday December 16 2005, 2:19 pm: i think you should break it off. if you dont share the have the same feelings for him as you used to, whats the point in sticking around? find someone or stay single until you get someone you really like and actually want to be with. theres no point in being miserable and being in a relationship with no love.

PinkPrincess42 answered Friday December 16 2005, 12:47 pm: Well, first of all I really dont think it would be right to act on a feeling that you just randomly had one morning. If you constantly have this feeling then you should def. talk to him about it. Things arent the same when you have been in a relationship a long times. Somedays you might feel like there is no excitement anymore, but thats something you may have to overlook. If you have these negative feelings often, you should talk to your boyfriend and see if he feels the same way. This may be something the two of you can work through. Dont get discouraged. Be sure to keep me updated!

Kyky answered Friday December 16 2005, 10:46 am: hmm..well, ive had this problem before, too. it kinda of went on and off for me. maybe you guys should just be friends. tell him that it would be better for you, and if he wanted to be your boyfriend in the first place, he will understand if you want to be just friends.
hope it goes well! [ Kyky's advice column | Ask Kyky A Question ]
Annerszz_101 answered Friday December 16 2005, 9:44 am: I have had the same problem. Write him a note, have a friend tell him, call him, etc. and tell him you want to take a break for awhile. If he goes all crazy about it- he's not worth it. but if he gets really sad and asks why you want to take a break- tell him you think he's being a little over-protective and you don't think he's being the FUN boyfriend you want him to be.

smile answered Friday December 16 2005, 9:07 am: Look, when we are with someone that means that we like him.Wait three days to see if you still feel what you feel now.If yes, you 'd better break up. I think that this is what you should do...Explain him that you want to be alone this period and generally what you feel but in a good way! Try not to hurt him very much...
You could stay with him but this does not make sense. You know why? Because you will break with him, Maybe a week later or 2 but then it will be much more difficult for both of you. So do what you want now... [ smile's advice column | Ask smile A Question ]
rainshowersz answered Friday December 16 2005, 9:02 am: If this is the first occasion in which you have felt opposite about this relationship, give it a few days, to almost see if its a fluke emotional responce, or if its reality. If this isnt the first time and youve been contemplating for awhile the happiness/contentness this relationship lacks, then its time to end what was inevitiable.

susana answered Friday December 16 2005, 8:32 am: Sounds to me like you've outgrown this relationship. If you're hearing his comments as "stupid" too often, then you probably have moved on in your maturity and tolerance for such things. If someone is being overly "protective" I have to wonder if that actually means "possessive," and that sure isn't a good sign. Overly protective or possessive - both are signals that something isn't right. At least to me they are. Someone being overly protective can seem to be too clingy and can make a person feel boxed-in, trapped. Possessiveness is dangerous especially since it involves jealousy more often than not. And it usually doesn't go away.
If you're thinking about this whole thing - not liking him anymore - on a consistent basis, then you probably need to move on. You'd not only be doing yourself a favor, but you'd be doing him one too, even if he feels hurt at first.
I tell as many people as I can that the best thing to do is to follow your instincts - your gut feelings. Don't ignore them! Don't push them away. However, if these feelings just surfaced and maybe something happened between the two of you to cause these feelings to pop out now, then give it a short while and see if you are continuing to feel this way. If you already have been feeling this way for a while, then let him go. And you're right, it's not right for either of you to stick with a relationship just because you think you should. It's not good for either of you if you're having negative feelings about your partner or the relationship.
