It seems like he is trying to do what he thinks is best for you and avoid hurting you. It may seem totally illogical to you but you don't know what he is feeling and how he feels he has changed. I dated a guy for 3 years and I was completely head over heels for him, at first. By the 2 and a half year mark things were changing and my feelings were beginning to change. I had to let him go and though he didn't understand it then, he finally began to understand that I was trying to avoid hurting him and let him go before it got farther.
I advise that you just try and let him go, yes it will be hard especially if you really love him. But realize that he was trying to be a good guy and let you go before things got in tooo deep. Try to be understanding though that is sometimes the hardest thing to do.

If your friends see something in him they don't like they are probably right because all they are trying to do is watch out for you. And as different you may think he is when it is just you two its just as important for him to treat you right in front of your friends. He is probably saying that the break will be helpful because you will be use to not talking to him as much, which makes me find him even more lame. If i were you I'd take the bull by the horns and break up with him. It will make you feel fresh and give you a single outlook on the situation. And if he says that would upset him you will know he cares and i know you know he loves you but he's doubting it and being a jerk...You deserve better and I know you know that Good luck xoxo Diane [ Diane_Delilah's advice column | Ask Diane_Delilah A Question ]
