"Last week I had the strangest dream" that my boyfriend broke up with me. Last night that dream became a reality. I reacted to it monotonously, because in a way I guess I expected it, but I'm still kind of in shock. I didn't beg him to stay with me I just told him to do what he felt was best. The reason he broke it off was that we haven't been seeing a lot of eachother. The last time I saw him was probably 2 weeks or more ago. Normally we would see eachother daily at school but not so much on the weekends because my parents don't really allow me to be alone with him and because they don't approve of us. He told me that he thought my parents would never change and that he didn't want to but that he felt it best to break up. Now I find myself not knowing what to do with myself and questioning my future. I want to be okay and I am confident that I will be but right now I just feel so lost. I never thought he would break up with me because he cares about me so much...I'm still in shock. And now I find myself questioning whether that was the real reason we broke up. What if he found someone else? I just don't know...And he says I'm still his best friend but I don't know how I'm supposed to face him. I've become so attached to him for many months and it just seems wrong for this to happen. I don't know what to do. Please someone help me.

Trust me, I've been in the same position as you, & it does get better. You shouldn't sit around & try to figure out exactly why he left you. That will only make things harder for you. Take some time to focus on yourself. Have fun, be flirty, do whatever makes you happy. As for you two being friends, it can work, but you might want to give it some time before you start hanging out. Let yourselves move on from the relationship fully before that. [ Trauma's advice column | Ask Trauma A Question ]
