Hey


Question Posted Tuesday October 17 2006, 5:50 pm

I have a boyfriend, we've been dating about 8 and a half months.

For the first 7, he was absolutely amazing.
He's been changing a lot lately, and it's making me wonder how much I want to be with him anymore.
I think he's going through an angsty phase, or I'm just discovering his diva side?
He decided he wants to drop out of school, and pick up old habits that he swore that he'd stop for me months ago. My theory: His two best friends are bad influences on him. Anyways

I pretty much see myself as a doormat to him lately, because he used to make me feel so special. So within the past 3 weeks, he has ignored me because he's 'been so stressed out about how shitty life is' Broken up with me, and he's starting to ignore me again.

I don't understand, I saw him more when he lived with his dad in another city about 2 months in to our relationship. I just don't know how to draw the line with him.

If he ever decides to grow up and call me so we can actually see eachother, I might end it. But I don't really know. I feel stuck.

So for the past 2 or 3 weeks, I've felt like a chore to him. I hate it. I usually don't take this crap from guys, and I don't know why I'm treating him this way and giving him so many chances when he obviously doesn't deserve them.

What should I do?

Whatever has happened, he's made it pretty clear that he no longer intends to put any effort into maintaining your relationship. It's unfortunate that he's decided to backslide into a life he should have left behind, but it seems that he's determined to do so and won't be talked out of it.

I don't think your relationship is salvageable. Be grateful, in a way, that he's cutting you loose and not dragging you down with him.

You say that in the past few weeks he's broken up with you. If I were you, I would take him up on it. Call or contact him one more time, and tell him that you consider your relationship over because he's obviously not interested in it anymore. Make a clean break.

There is a chance that he will eventually come crawling back, saying that he was wrong and that he's really changed this time and wants you back. Whether you take him up on it is something you will need to decide when the time comes, but I suggest you live your life as if it won't happen - in other words, don't wait for him.

In a nutshell: Let him go. He's already let you go.
