Hello, I am a sixteen year old girl who has only been in one relationship so far and its the one I'm in.
First of all, I'd like to explain that I am with a guy that had broken up with me before and then came back and I took him back for certain reasons. Now we're trying it out again and at first it seemed right, but now he just does not seem understanding about a lot of things. The main things he does not understand are that I can't see him every single day because I am serious about school and he says that its fine, yet he still complains. He acts very clingy and I can't deal with that anymore. He has lied to me before, which in the end just makes me trust him less, which doesnt seem right for relationships. We fight a lot, but then make up. Our relationship is very odd, but we still like eachother. I am extremely confused on what to do. Should I break up with him or should I be patient? I know no one can tell me what to do, but all I ask for are some tips.
P.S. Yesterday we had a misunderstanding and in the middle of it all, he mentioned that sometimes i get him so angry that he feels like beating me. i was extremely shocked and felt scared. he doesnt seem like he would hurt me, but i dont want to find out.
thank you for your time!

I understand why you'd want another person’s input on this, should I stay or should I go moment... From my outlook on this, it'd be better to go. I know you love him, care about him, he can be so sweet he has done so much for you, ect. I get that, I honestly and truly do you have no idea. BUT if he has been your only relationship, then you have no idea what else is out there that you may like. Now, I'm not saying go out right crazy or sleep with guys, no. I'm saying, drop this guy who seems so hot and cold and make time for you. If, IF another guy comes along, get to know him, you'd be surprised that maybe there is someone else out there way better FOR YOU than this guy now. Not that the guy your with isn't great in his own way, but my theory is, EVERYONE is a great person, but NOT everyone is great for everyone else. What I mean is, your an awesome person, he is an awesome person, but maybe you’re not great together like you both once were. Or, maybe you two are, I don't know, but, if it's meant to be it will be. Things happen for a reason and part of living life is going through new things and experiences to grow. I'm not being mean so I sincerely apologize if it comes off that way, that's not my intention. Also, I'm not trying to preach over here, I just think you’re sixteen and awesome so live your life to the fullest, and if the fullest is with this guy that stick with it, and if it's not being with him anymore because the ship has sailed but will forever be in your heart, then that's what you should do. For me, it was like a weight being lifted off of my shoulders, even if I missed him like crazy sometimes because he was all I knew; it was an odd combination of feelings. Anyway either way you go and whichever you choose good luck! =) [ Ava29's advice column | Ask Ava29 A Question ]
