Q: Breakup...so Hurt
asked by: lamartine on February 26th, 2006

I went on a ski trip this week with my bf of about 6 mos. I don't know why but I was irritable with him the whole time and picking fights. We had a huge fight the last night and almost broke up. The next day, we desided to tro to work it out. I got on a plane and left, and he called me, apologized, and said we would talk on sunday (today). I ended up calling a couple of mornings ago though and leaving a message saying that I loved him but couldn't be with someone who would say some of the things he said to me and who would have such little regard for what I want and need. I really regret making that call...Do you think there is any way I can fix what I did?

You need to have some quiet time with just yourself. You really need to figure out where the faults are and how deep they are. This has been a really hard 6 months for you and you may believe today that it is love but it may be more of a dependance and companionship than love.

It is a really smart idea to take a break and unlike ross and rachael, when on a break you can and should see some other people, date several and see how it is on the other side again and then see if you two have a place in your worlds for each other.

You have to remember, in life it should be:
1: you
2:school
3:family\friends
4:dating

when you graduate,those priorities will change but for now you need to take care of you and school.

Pm me later and let me know how you do,

brian

Ok I don't see how the person above me answered your question to the proper extent but. . .You should do what you feel is right in your heart.If the things he said are really unforgivable than there is nothing to fix,but if they are forgivable maybe you should try to work it out.Every relationship has its trials and tribulations,its just how strong you are to work through them.What did he say to you if you don't mind me asking?.....

Thanks everyone. Here is an update:

yeah, I am just confused. Last night he invited me to his house. He made a delicious dinner for us, bought a bottle of wine, etc. Then we did some oil painting together for a couple of hours. We were really enjoying each other's company. Later, though, when we went to bed, I asked if we were still dating. He said yes. I asked if he was still my boyfriend. He wanted to know why I had to put a label on things. I told him I didn't want to date anyone but him. We slept in the same bed and hooked up, but he says he doesn't think it is a good idea for us to have sex right now. Usually we have it alot, like three or four times a night. This morning I got insecure and asked him if it was because he didn't want to hurt me or because he didn't want me. And I acted even more insecure by asking him if he was going to call me when I left. He said of course he was. I am so confused. The sex thing feels like a rejection. What does this mean?

I just hate myself for the way I have handled this relationship.

I know how you feel...I hate when relationships get like this...You don't know what he wants and you just wish you could change things. Asking him upfront about your relationship status shows that you two can at least communicate, which is good because of a lot of couples have trouble with that seeing as guys do not like to talk about how they feel.

I know what you mean by thinking that not having sex if his way of rejecting you... I've felt like that before when i've gone through fights with my boyfriend. I think it's just that with everything going on with you two, sex is not his number one concern right nowand sorting out your feelings for each other/figuring out where the relationship is going is much more important that getting physical. Your best bet is to talk to him and find out where he stands in the relationship.
