My boyfriend and I are breaking up after 8 months.


Question Posted Tuesday May 30 2006, 1:03 pm

I'm almost 16. I had a wonderful boyfriend of 8 months. We have been through everything and survived it all. & now he's sick of trying. I need to show him that we can do this, forever. I'll give lots more details if you want to help. Please don't reply if you're just going to tell me to move on.

The fact you've been together 8 months through thick and thin shows you definitley have something special going on there. That's quite a long time to be in a relationship with someone at your age. Often, though.. you meet points in a relationship where you ask "is it all worth it?" Doubt is a part of everyones journey. Now I'm not sure what's been going on with your boyfriend, but you should talk to him and ask him why he's giving it up now. Explain to him you want to work through this like all the other times. Tell him you want to try no matter what because you really care for him. Maybe he's feeling insecure about things? Maybe people have been saying things to him? There's gotta be a reason why he's "sick of trying" now after everything. Whatever problems you have can usually be sorted, and if not it's worth at least trying. Tell him you're willing to try. Is what's going on now really worth breaking up over? Is it worse than any of the other times? Ask him that.
If he still wants to break up after you've tried to sort things out, then I don't know what else you can do. At least though you'll know you tried to set things straight and remedy the situation. It's his problem if he isn't willing to put in the effort to straighten things out with you two. A relationship shouldn't be one-sided. Two people need to put in effort to make it work.

If you'd like to explain the situation to me more in detail, drop one in my inbox. I'd be happy to help a bit more.

Good luck

Dear I dont wanna Lose him,

I think that you and your boyfriend need to spend more time together because it seems like one of you wants to continue the relationship and one doesn't or does but isnt willing to push forward. . You could be pushing on him too hard and thats why he wants to back out..its always a poosibility... but its probably because Some people just think that when the going gets tough the easiest way is to end it. But all I think is that you guys need to sit down and talk about your feelings and remember what brought you guys together in the first place. Don't avoid the problems try and solve them. I mean 8 months..WOW thats good, I wish you two luck : )

hope I helped,
Sincerely, Reanna
