I really don't know if I did the right thing breaking up with my boyfriend. Every one I talked to has said I've done the right thing. Well anyway, my ex had "friends" who called me names all the time right in front of him and he never did anything about. Another occurance was when one of his friends threw dry glue at right in front of him. Well he just watched it happen. I have no problem with standing up for myself. It's just, well I don't know that's why I'm asking the question.
Just because you can stand up for yourself it doesn't mean your boyfriend should just stand there and let his friends get away with treating you like dirt!! It's perfectly reasonable for you to expect him to defend you. If he's more prepared to let his friends treat you this way than defend you, you definitely did the right thing and now it's down to you to find a guy who will treat you right.

Dont be sad about it, you want a boyfriend to have your back, even though you can stand up for yourself, it would be nice knowing you can have someone to be on your side and be there for you.

I think I know why you asked the question. You want to verify that you did the right thing. YOU DID!!
First off...good for you, for thinking highly enough about yourself to know that you deserve way better than that. It's great that you can stick up for yourself (that definitely comes in handy at times), but you should not have to stick up for yourself infront of your boyfriends friends.
The fact that he did not defend you is ridiculous. In my opinion he doesn't really care about your well-being. The dry glue incident could very well be assault. Kick him to the curb girlfriend...and keep him there.
You sound like a very intelligent, nice person who will find someone who will not only stick up for you , but protect you at all costs. Take care.
xsweet_pea_10 answered Monday April 10 2006, 5:47 pm: You did the right thing. He's sounds lieka jerk. If he really liked you then he would stick up to his friends and tell them to stop. Don't worry about it you did the right thing breaking up with him. Byu the way if his friends continur to bother you stand up to them and say stop.
isis answered Monday April 10 2006, 1:47 pm: Worry no more! You did the right thing, if he really respected you, he would not stand by and allow his friends to abuse you. The right guy will turn up who will treat you with the respect you deserve. He needs to grow up. Best of luck. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]
loves2shop86 answered Monday April 10 2006, 1:26 am: Hey! You absolutely did the right thing! You need a man who will stand up for you, not an immature boy with immature friends who would let them disrespect you like that! If you recently broke up with him, you WILL have doubts about it, and you will go to bed plenty of times thinking that you made a mistake, but you didn't! Just keep remind yourself of that! It's hard to break up with someone, but they say that 60 days of not talking to the person at all is what you need to get over the person 100%! so hang in there and don't question your decision! :) [ loves2shop86's advice column | Ask loves2shop86 A Question ]

Any guy who will stand there and watch while his girlfriend is being mistreated by those he calls friends is a loser.
