i'm very confused at the moment, i have this boyfriend and we keep going on and off. and i'm getting so sick of it! so this one time, we broke up AGAIN and decided not to get back together in two weeks, but it became shorter than that. and now SOME people knows we're going out and the others think we're not. I like the feeling of being single, but yet when we break up again i feel very sad. and i can't talk to my friends about it, because they think i'm single you know? and sometimes i feel like it's better off being single, but yet i really like him. and this one time when we broke up, he was about to kill himself by getting anti-depressing pills or whatever. but then he emptied it. i don't know what to do, i'm not sure if i should be single or not. i like to be treated as if i was single, but yet i also like to be taken by him. but i guess it's that i need some space, but he could never understand that and we end up breaking up again. what should i do?

I know that sounds harsh, but he needs to straighten his life out before you get involved. however, you don't have to abandon him, tell him that you want to be friends. and if he's seriously suicidal, then tell someone who can help him.
trust yourself. if you like being single, then by all means be single! it's less stressful and you said yourself that you like it better. I don't know what exaclty is causing the break-ups between you two, but remember BOTH of you have to agree to work out your differences. If he can't give you your space then hes not the one.

You cannot have the best of both worlds, although I completely understand where you're coming from. You probably like being with him because it takes away the loneliness of being single. My advice is see a lot of different people. You will learn more about yourself, you won't get so lonely, and you will still be single. [ yourstruly's advice column | Ask yourstruly A Question ]
