bad timing, great guy.


Question Posted Sunday September 16 2007, 11:33 pm

My long-term boyfriend intiated a 'break' between us. He's working 7 days a week, long hours, to support his family. He repeated he didn't want to break up but I expected alot from him and at this point, he couldn't do it. He also asked me to 'wait' for him until all this is over and he can handle a serious relationship. I don't want to be mad since none of this is his fault, but I can't help feeling selfish, I love him! He's always been a loyal person, so I don't know what to do. He's an amazing guy that I want to hold onto, but it's also killing me not to have all of him.

I personally disagree with the columnist below.
Lots of couples go on breaks and it turns out for the best in most cases.
I understand how you feel and it's good you realize you are being selfish! However, try and put yourself in your boyfriends shoes. He's working long hours every day. When will he get time to himself in the process? Probably not often.. and lets face it, everyone needs their own personal space.
He told you to wait for him.. and I think you should do just that if you both love each other.
You can find a way to work around it if you don't want to break up.
Give him a bit of time and space, then see how things are. and THEN you ask yourself, is it actually worth it.
Hope things turn out just fine for you.

That sucks...but guess what...you only get one life to live, time is passing by and you are not getting any younger.
There is no excuse for him not being with you, if he loved you, then he d squeeze you into his life.
I work at a badass firm, I study at a badass university and I still have sex who studies and works hard as well.
You come first, take care of yourself. He wants a break...fine. Did he ask you if you agree?
You dont have to put with such shit. No one does, just relax and fall in love again with some one else.Yeah...it is easy!!!And it happens every now and then in your life.
You know what else happens...poor souls standing by...don t do that.You dont wanna do that.
