Lately me & my boyfriend have been having alot of fights. I dont want to break up with him because I love him heaps & I dont want to lose him. But he has been acting like he doesnt care & everything. Just want someone to help me get through this before I do something wrong. What should I do?
danielle<3 answered Monday May 1 2006, 4:24 pm: Maybe you can talk to him, and ask him why he has been acting the way that he has. You can tell him that you do love him and you want to stay together, but you have to tell him that if he wants to be with you then you guys have to be able to get through this fight and the other ones to come without breaking up.
AskGwen answered Monday May 1 2006, 3:02 pm: Maybe you should ask yourself if this is the type relationship you want to continue with. If he's acting like he doesn't care then maybe he's not acting. Discuss it with him, if the answers are the ones you want to hear move on. There's others out there for you. [ AskGwen's advice column | Ask AskGwen A Question ]

You say that he's been "acting like he doesn't care". I have gone through this with boyfriends in the past, and frankly it annoys the h*ll out of me. Obviously we're only seeing your side of things, but reading between the lines I'd say that you were a caring person who is faced with a possibly uncaring partner. Sure you don't want to lose him, but is he so worth hanging on to?
My advice is to give it a trial period. Try not to get into fights with him: when you feel like yelling and screaming, take time out, count ten, you know the rest. On the other hand, watch his behaviour-if he improves in response to your improved behaviour then you're fine, you can move on. If not, then you need to move on in another sense, by dumping him. You deserve someone who treats you well.
Good luck,
Lucretia. [ lucretia's advice column | Ask lucretia A Question ]

But all you have to do is sit him down and tell him how you feel and make it clear to him that you dont like the way he has been treating you and if he doesnt stop then you will leave him. It isnt fair for you to walk around loving him and thinking hes loving you to and turns out he doesnt any more. But dont dump him on the spot because sometimes there are reasons for the strange behavior. My hubby was very busy with school and work and trying to support for our family then on top of that trying otkeep up with his friends and working on the car and stuff. But iv also had boyfriends whov cheated on me. So its really your decision to make.. but just talk to him and find out. Hope iv helped write me back id like to know how it turns out.
orphans answered Monday May 1 2006, 7:18 am: I know this isn't the answer you were probably looking for, but I think you should sit down with him face to face and tell it like it is. Tell him how you feel and what you're going through and if he starts acting like a jerk about it, then dump him right then and there. If he's willing to work the problem out, then see how it turns out. But if he says some smart-ass remark, then get rid of him. That's all you have to do. :) [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
