should i tell him what i've been thinking about? should i just dump him?
Question Posted Sunday March 6 2011, 11:25 pm
we've been going out for about 2 1/2 years, give or take, (we've broken up and gotten back together quite a few times). we're both 18. started seeing eachother at 15. been friends since we were 14.
anyway. we've never had any huge issues, except the times we've broken up. those mistakes have been on my part, and i've learned from the past. but this time, he's the one causing problems. he barely calls me anymore. we can only hang out on weekends right now and he never makes an effort to see me. when we're together, everything is like its always been. we're fabulous when face to face, but after i leave his house i rarely talk to him, see him on occasion, but besides that i have no idea what is going on at his house or with his friends, let alone himself. he has a job but doesn't work on weekends. i'm unemployed. he lives about 5 minutes away by car so it wouldn't be difficult to come and see me.
i've tried to mention it to him a few times that i never hear from him, but it never changes anything. like i said, when we're face to face, everything is perfectly fine. its just when we're separated. i haven't told him yet that i'm having problems with him.
i've been thinking seriously about breaking up with him. i want to, but i don't want to. i'm sick of his bullshit but i still love him. i've been wanting to marry him since we were young and i still would love to but right now, things just aren't working out. what do you think i should do? should i tell him what i've been thinking about? should i just dump him? try to stay friends? anything helps! thanks.

If he doesn't see a problem then yes, break up with him. But give him a chance first. You haven't even told him what you're thinking yet! That's not really fair. Good luck.
