Q: I Broke Up With My Boyfriend!!

I just broke up about a week ago and ever since I have been super depressed!! We still love each other so much, we were even considering a marriage but at the same time we were so miserable together for the whole 4 years. We broke up so many times and got back together many times. Even this time i'm hoping that we can get back together again but he finally made it clear that this is it because he was really fed up with our stupid fights. Everyone around us has been telling us that we are not meant to be together since we fight too much, but I really cannot give up on him. I am hoping that he will cool down in a few weeks and come back to talk to me again (like usual) but is this a silly hope to have???? I am lost, if I can't even hope to get back with him one day, I might destroy myself for the sadness!!!!! What do I do, help!!!!

Sometimes you have to be brutal to be kind & right now I feel that is what you need. You & this guy have wasted 4 years of your lives fighting, breaking up, getting back together & then doing it all over again, I pray there are no kids involved in your immature inability to move on (& I am talking about both of you!)!

Go & do a self-development, personal growth course, do some community volunteer work & find out what real people have to deal with & grow up so that you can have a real relationship without all the garbage this one has.

What do you mean by "destroy yourself for the sadness"?

It sounds like you're saying that without a glimpse of hope of someday getting back with the guy, you might kill yourself. Or at best mentally destroy yourself via the sadness.
Well, that's just crazy!
That's the same as saying that this guy is the only reason you exist.

Purple chair:

my husband of 2 years met me after breaking up with his girlfriend/fiancee of 7 years. They were the same way. They liked/loved each other, but they hated each other too. They fought all the time and broke up many many times during the 7 years they were off and on. People around them saw what was going on and begged them to break up for years. When they finally did, they really missed each other, but they moved on. Now all of his friends comment on how much happier he is with me and she is now married too and they bought a house this year.

There are feelings of attachment and loneliness, but if your situation is like ours, the two of you do not need to be together. Dont waste any more time.
