Question Posted Thursday November 2 2006, 11:43 pm
What do you do when your boyfriend tells you he wants to take a break because he has so much going on with work and homework and school and basketball and with his parents fighting all the time? but he still says he likes me and loves me and wants to be with me forever? I feel like i should respect what he wants but at the same time i feel i should be there for him and help him through it becuase after all thats what girlfriends are fo to help you through hard times and to give you advise and stuff. i love him to death and i dont know what to do! HELP im DESPERATE IN NEED FOR ADVISE!!!

I mean you have to put your school work first and then relationships nexy its not that they dont love you its just that they neeed to catch up so the best thing i can tell you is respect it

Just let him know that you're there for him and if he ever does need anybody to talk to, or to help with anything, he knows you'll be there for him and all he has to do is call. This'll show him how much you care about him and still want to be his girlfriend, but are respecting his wishes, like a great girlfriend should.
He just might want to take this break because he might feel all the time he's spending focusing on his school and sports and family and everything, means less for you, and he might feel bad just having you sit there, and he might feel like right now, he's just not giving you all the attention you deserve. So at least this isn't a breakup, which is an extremely good thing. Just keep minor contact with him ( if he wants to ) and see where it goes from there.
