Question Posted Sunday September 13 2009, 11:24 am
okay so i've been dating my boyfriend for almost 2 years now. we've dated since my freshman year (his senior year) and everything was great. i mean we talked about getting married after i graduate and everything. plus we were each other's firsts. but lately i feel like i don't want to be with him. and i think it has something to do with my best friend from 5th grade coming back down here to visit in the summer. i hadn't seen him in 6 years so i spent time with him. and he always said stuff like wow you're hot and asking me if you didn't have a boyfriend would you be with me. and i feel like i need to be with my boyfriend to make him happy but its not like before when i felt like i needed to be with him because he made me happy. if that makes sense. plus i told him that i didn't want to get married right after high school because i want to go to college and experience that but he says well you can go to community college but the thing is if i can get into a university then i'm going to go. he wants things to stay the same like how we planned it my freshman year but i don't. i just don't know what to do.

Advicelady6798 answered Sunday September 13 2009, 3:21 pm: You sound like the type who thinks about other peoples feelings first then think about yourself. If your having any doubts, you want to end before it gets worse. You are basically staying with him because you want to make him happy but the truth is you have to make yourself happy first. He is the predictable person who wants to do everything according to plan but you seem to be the complete opposite. You shouldn't have to do what he wants especially if going to a university is what you want. If he truly cared about you, he would respect any decision you make. I would suggest making a pro/con list. List the things that are great about the relationship and the things that are not so great. Then make a list of things that you want to accomplish. If the list is different then he may be holding you back from what you truly want. [ Advicelady6798's advice column | Ask Advicelady6798 A Question ]

And has for him wanting you to go to community college, that sounds a bit controling.
If you want to go to University then go (if you get in that is). Its your life not his, do what you want to do.
