I got drunk and said I wanted to hook up with other guys...

i'm gonna try to make this short. so basically me and my boyfriend just broke up... kind of. we've been together for 10 months. we had a good relationship for the most part and really loved and cared about each other. he broke up with me the other night when i was drunk because i say stupid shit when i'm drunk like how i wanna be single or wanna hook up with other guys. obviously i don't mean any of it i just was dumb and said it to make him jealous. i know that sounds horrible but i guess i've just been a little insecure in our relationship lately and it was nice to see that he cared. apparently this pushed him too far because he broke up with me. we got back together the next night but a few days later he said things were still weird and he broke up with me again. i wrote him a really long letter apologizing and telling him how much i care about him. he told me he's really confused and needs space. it's been almost a week. the last time he broke up with me he took 2 weeks to talk to me but he texted me when he was drunk and only because i ignored him when i walked past him. (the last time we broke up it was because he was mad because he broke up with me when he was blacked out and i hooked up with another guy because i was upset). clearly the things i've been saying only hurt that wound more because he still is worried that i'm gonna cheat on him (even though i would NEVER) and he's just really self conscious and vulnerable right now. when he broke up with me he named all of his flaws and then told me all the guys he thinks im gonna move on with. so basically we haven't talked in almost a week. i don't know if i should keep waiting for him or move on because i'm really upset. i really miss him and wanna be with him. he's the only guy i've been this comfortable with and wanted to spend every moment with. i've been with lots of guys (not talking about sex just making out or having a 'thing') and i know what i want by now. and it's him. i think he's having trouble trusting me and i don't know what to do to fix things because i literally said all i could say. it's up to him now. i don't know if i should play games and make him chase me because that's what he's attracted to or if i should just be honest. should i wait for him to talk to me even though it's killing me? what if he never does? or should i wait a week and then talk to him and see what's up? he kinda left me in a really shitty position just wondering if things are gonna work or not

Women Like You are the reason that weakling guys cut themselves. Why? For starters, You play silly childish games with him. That's not kosher once you graduate high school. well, its not even kosher in high school, thats just the point where reasonable self-respecting men stop putting up with it and throw your childish ass to the curb. I can list with one hand how many functioning successful adults do things like that and still wind up with a closed fist upon which to count the number of dumbass ex-girlfriends of mine who used to play the same bullshit-ass tricks and are now lonely friendless drama queens who in at least one case have a kid whose paternity test would require a whole waiting room of test subjects. Bringing up another valid point! getting fucked up at a party is still no excuse for your behavior, and his isn't too far behind. Alcohol is no excuse for either of you. and from your description of these drunken escapades, I can say with confidence that the both of you had better lay off the sauce before something really catastrophic happens to you.
Now that all of that anger is out of the way, I'd suggest you heed the following-
first off, leave this poor dude alone. you've already taken a chainsaw to his bloodpump enough times. second, learn to respect other human beings. people who play tricks and games have no compassion for people, and revel in their pain. knock that sadistic shit off.
Last, but not least- learn to respect yourself. Fucking random dudes may be cool with you at the moment, but remember that random dudes are loudmouth assholes, and loudmouth assholes tend to ruin the reputations of girls. and trust me on this, random one-night stands and hookups are okay for a while, but at the end of the night, you're still alone and showering some stranger's sweat off of you in a random shower using the shampoo as bodywash because the bar of soap looks like grizzly adams.
not a pleasant way to live your life.
So straighten the fuck out, and good luck

The problem; Alcohol makes us do stupid things but WE are responsible for how much is consumed. You both were not drinking responsibly.
You stated you two have broken up once before. The more people break up with each other the more draining the relationship will be if you two were to get back with one another. This is were I've always told people I have ever dated when we end up in arguments "If you walk out that door, Walk out knowing you aren't coming back" Making up in relationships cause lack of trust, stress and tension. You broke up and you got back together and here is were the relationship went on a strain.....You both didn't fully trust one another. The only thing I can really tell you, Is too try and contact your boyfriend and have a serious talk about both of your actions. Frankly, I'm not going to tell you both to stop drinking but it certainly wouldn't hurt if you both agreed to cut back your intake. Actions sometimes hurt and so don't words. If he isn't willing to listen too you and talk it out then I would consider moving on as it takes two too make a relationship work not one. If you want serious commitment then both parties are going to have to be willing to make serious choices. Right now, You both should work on communication. You both lack understanding one another and both actions have caused disappointment. [ Xui's advice column | Ask Xui A Question ]
