One for the men
Posted: 04-22-08 20:10pm

Is it safe to say that a guy can break up with a girl to test her? As if how she would react to him not being with her anymore? (maybe he think she may be too clingly or so on)

And how often is it that a guy goes back to a girl that he dumps? whats the average amount of time he waits to do this? (teenage boys or men too)

Thanks for any replies. Wink

I've never heard of this. If someone breaks up with you, it's most likely they just no longer wish to be with you. I could see a teen doing this but not a grown man.I wouldn't get back with him either.

Willa, men will be boys. That's a fact of life. lol. Yes I've heard of this, but more in a 'if you love someone set them free' setup. If you have to set someone free to see if they want to be with you, you should grow up. If my boyfriend does not want to be with me, then so be it. Don’t get me wrong - it will break my heart, but I’m not going to beg him to be with me.

Lol I know. I just don't see an older man breaking up with a girl based on a test. I mean, i could depending on the maturity level but. . . You know what I mean?

my boyfriend is 21 and he has anger issues and everytime he is having a bad day, or we get in a small argument, he says he thinks we should break up. but then 10 minutes later he says hes kidding.

ive been with him for over a year.

I think that is more anger issue than a test though.

Clinging to something like that seems like wishful thinking to me.

I think when they are testing things they more refer to it as a "break". But honestly, why would you want to be with a guy that would pull something like that anyways? I just think it would be more preferable to be with a guy that tells you things upfront and doesn't put you through days/weeks/months of wondering if its really over or what you did wrong.
