Question Posted Thursday September 21 2006, 5:39 pm
ok I'm really confused right now, i Dont know what to do right now. I like my boyfreind brandon, but he can be a huge asshole. he tells me what and what not to do, he critisizes me, and even yells at me, plus he has problems of his own and i can't deal with him and his problems AND my problems alltogether.he also hides things from me, lies to me, and sneaks about everything. I can't ever beleive him. all my freinds say i should dump him, but i still like and care for him. plus he's not ALL bad. i really enjoy being with him. There's also a guy named Russell who seems to be interested in me, and ditto for me. Me and him talk alot on the phone, and he helps me with alot of problems, and I like him too, but i dont want to leave brandon then go out with russell right after, but if i wait for a while then break up with brandon, then russell gets a girlfreind and loses interest in me, then that would SUCK ASS TOTALLY. i dont know what i should do. should i break up with my boyfreind, or give him 1 last chance. If i DO give him 1 more chance, then this will be the 3rd chance i have given him, and im TIRED of playing games with him. what the hell should i do??

As much as you care for your boyfriend, you have to end it. What good is it doing to be with a guy who lies, tries to control you and puts you down? Nothing. Breaking up is part of life and it's something you have to do even if you don't want to.
No more chances for this guy. Just do yourself a favor and break up with him. If you want to be with someone else, then go be with someone else. But getting back with this guy would be a mistake.
lizzielovesyou answered Thursday September 21 2006, 6:22 pm: breaking up sucks ,exspecially if you reall think you like the person.first i would say ask russel if he really likes you,and what he would do if you and brandon broke up,then if he says go out with you say ok,thwen if you deside to ,brake up wtih brandon but dont tell him its because of russel i dont know but either way brandon needs to show you some respect or he aint aa real m,an
let me know how it all wroks out

MissHelpful answered Thursday September 21 2006, 6:04 pm: This rlly sounds lyk a problem. All i can tell you is that you need to decide weather your relationship with brandon is worth it. You say you have a good time with him, well does he spend more time making you happy or making you angry,hurt, or confused. I say think abou this and do what yer gut tells you. And if this Russell you mention is worth it he'll wait until yer ready to get into another relationship.Good Luck! [ MissHelpful's advice column | Ask MissHelpful A Question ]
karisue answered Thursday September 21 2006, 5:55 pm: sounds like a problem i had a year ago between my asshole boyfriend chris, and i guy i had just met named chase.
it truly was the hardest decision i had ever made, but i knew what i had to do. i broke up with chris & maybe you should break up with brandon, if you have doubts at all, about him, then it should be obvious to break up with him. when i broke up with chris, i started dating chase a week later, i didnt care that it made chris made, i actually liked the fact that it made him mad(haha, im horrible.) & you shouldn't worry about it either, if he treats you wrong, you need to find someone to treat you right, and you never know, russell could be that guy. because choosing my current boyfriend chase, was the greatest decision i had ever made in my life.
i hope i helped. =) [ karisue's advice column | Ask karisue A Question ]
MelLeDisko answered Thursday September 21 2006, 5:51 pm: I agree with your friends, I would dump him. I know you say he's not ALL bad, but there sounds to me like there's alot of bad, and not that much good. No boyfriend should be yelling at their girlfriend, telling them what to do, dumping all their problems on her. That's not what a relationship is supposed to be like.
I would break up with Brandon, and then talk to Russell later that day/night, and let him know that you have feelings for him. You guys don't HAVE to go out right away, you CAN wait a bit, and I doubt Russell would go off and get a girlfriend when he likes you and he knows you like him back. Just let Russell know you want to wait a bit to start a new relationship since you just ended one, and I'm sure he'll understand and wait a bit.
