Why do I still like him seriously? Simple Question.?
Question Posted Thursday October 22 2009, 8:44 pm
So I was in this amazing relationship back in July-August and I loved every minute of it. He was an amazing guy that made me happy and I made him happy and everything was perfect in our relationship. Except for the fact that his parents did not like me (mainly his father because he thought I was just using him because I was "too pretty) and his brother who hates me because he thinks I'm a slut. Oh yeah and our classmates don't like us together either. They constantly gossip about me and call me horrible names (mainly girls) because I was dating him. Why did our amazing relationship end you ask? Well because I had enough of the drama and stress that came from our relationship and I ended it and I regretted it ever since. Like to this day I still get butterflies when I pass him in the hallway, in class, etc. I don't know why though :/ I can't stop thinking him either which is weird. I'm zoning out in class because he pops into my head frequently which is crazy right? I'm usually an A student with all AP Classes but lately I've been just out of it :/ So anyone wanna help me out here/give me tips/advice?

If you are as serious about this person, you first need to be comfortable with yourself as well. Does it bother you that people are 'talking shit' and saying mean things about you? Is anything that they are saying actually true? Because if it isn't, and you know and he knows who you are - the rest of it is very easy. This relationship includes you and him. Everyone else is just a bonus. Of course having the support of his family is important. He needs to inform his father who you really are, and you should also show his father that you are not a ditz but an A student with AP classes who does well in school (I'm not sure how you can use someone for being 'too pretty).
Clearly there are misconceived images of you floating around. Either you need to clear this images up, or forget about what other people say - if you always indulge yourself in gossip, you become just another rumour. Give yourself some credit, keep a high head on your shoulder and do what feels right! [ toughlove's advice column | Ask toughlove A Question ]

laynemayhem answered Monday October 26 2009, 6:23 pm: you said you regretted dumping him, so maybe you still like him a lot. heres a little tip for you: even if people are being difficult and bitchy about your relationship, if you and the person really like eachother, everyone else will have to get over it. relationships come with sacrifices. so, people are jealous or hateful, they'll move on and get bored with being rude.
