Question Posted Saturday December 2 2006, 12:51 am
Well my newly ex-boyfriend now was dating for 11 months, and just broke up officially two days ago. We had broken up two times before this because we were arguing alot. This time we weren't really arguing, and he ended because he thinks I do too much for him, that we argue alot, and that he was to be single.... we he came to my house today to get his stuff, I was in the closet crying and in his clothes I packed the promise ring he gave me and the dogtag with our names and the day we hooked up..... my sister in law told me she asked him in the hallway what happened and he said he we were fighting too much and that he looked sad too, like he didn't want to do this.... I remember the last time he was breaking up with me, he was crying too... and this time i think he was too... so what should I do... give him time and space, or is he gone for good? I should I talk to him.... I miss him and we're eachothers first true love....
SaraBean answered Saturday December 2 2006, 6:06 pm: I can totally understand whats happening hun.....almost the EXACT thing happened with Daniel and I because we fought too much....Promise ring and all. Im so sorry that you have to go through this, because it does hurt worse then ANYTHING in the world..and although I know that no amount of words can comfort you right now...just know that time heals. It really does...it sounds like you two really do love EACHOTHER...not just you loving him. But you need to give him time. If you guys are fighting so much, its because your not right for eachother..yet. Daniel broke up with me a couple times, and I broke up with him once before all because we couldnt stop fighting. we didnt date for about 5 months...but you know what, that time apart from eachother helped us to realize how much we really meant to the other. Especially helped him to see that he needed me in his life. All I can say is give him his space..be his friend for now, and plese resist the urge to leap back into his arms just yet...wait untill you know its right and you can trust that instead of him leaving again...he will work with you to figure out how to fix things. You each do things that hurt the other right? He makes you mad, and you piss him off just the same, so figure out why, use this time to learn what YOU did to hurt the relationship, and he will probably do the same. But dont block off contact with him, because you need to be able to talk about things eventually. And you probably will see other people...we did, and yes, it did hurt... but it was a real eye opener for the both of us as we came to realize that the only people who fit into our world were each other. I really hope that this works out for you hun, Im so sorry. If you ever need to vent, or need more advice Im hear for ya, cuz I can REALLY REALLY relate to this one..Ill even ask Daniel what he thinks from the guys perspective..from what you've told me, he still loves ya, dont worry about that. But prove to him how much you love him by being there for him...loving him in a different way...just for now, until you guys work through things, or you or him, or even both find someone new who fits. Let me know how it goes girl, and hang in there...time really does heal.... [ SaraBean's advice column | Ask SaraBean A Question ]

If you want to go through arguing again and again feel free to go back to him but he did say he wants to be free......

I have found the right person for me now after 8yrs.
