This sounds like your boyfriend is making a slow break with you. Realizing how hurt you will be if it were a total break he is trying to tell you it is all over. No one likes to be rejected especially when so much emotion, time and effort has been invested in a relationship. You are still young and will have many opportunities to forge new relationships. You must now pull yourself together and go out and make friends male and female. Get back into the social swing and put this sad experience behind you. If you leave this door open you will not be able to open any others. Don't feel sorry for yourself you did nothing wrong. Believe in yourself. I wish you a speedy rebuild with someone worthy of you. Good luck!!

Love is the battery of life....

Hi,
Brosen gave you an excellent answer (as usual) [credited him with 2 thumbs up].   Yes, your boyfriend decided to leave you.  I bet 10 to 1 he won't return 2U....  He most probably wants to make it easier for him (and maybe also 4U) so he leaves you some hope you'll return....  Do you really believe that he left you for "all that has been going on with his family and such" ? - COME ON..... that's absolutely Bull S***......  I know it will be hard 4U but the best thing you can do is leave him....  stop thinking on him...... Don't try to understand why he did it..... don't blame yourself (you did nothing wrong !, it's totally NOT you !)......  Don't let your self esteem 2B effected.....  Stop meeting with him..... built yourself a new social life (I blieve he isolated you from the world) and get yourself a nice guy (the sooner the better).....  You invested so much and deserve for much more from him.....but..... there is always a "but"... It seems that you are sure he will return.... you hope in vain.... I am sorry if I was too direct but that's the bitter truth.... 
I truely wish you the best of luck.

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. 

Do yourself a favor. Move on. Your boyfriend is making this break-up much more painful for you by telling you there is a chance you two will get back together. He's giving you false hope when what you should be doing is mourning the loss of this relationship and moving on with your life. Instead, his comments are "leaving the door open" (so to speak) if he cannot find something better. Seriously, cut off all ties with him now. You may be able to be friends with him later in life, but right now you need to focus on you and your needs. It's ok to be upset and cry but each day that passes that you are not in contact with him will be that much easier in moving on with you life.

I know I probably should move on and forget about my ex. I know ur advice is probably the logical thing to do but I just don't think that it is the best thing for me to do we have a really good thing going for us and we still love each other and want to get married in the future, have kids and a house of our own. he has told me that when everything is all sorted out and we both are ready to give the relationship a second chance we will not sure how long it will take but am willing to wait for him cause I know we both are meant for each other.

I'm sorry to hear how hard this break-up is for you. While I don't know you personally, I know from others' and my own personal experiences that if you really love someone, no matter what the difficult circumstances going on in your life are, you don't abandon the person you love. You don't cause them emotional pain and heartache. I am not saying your ex does not love you; in all likelihood, he does love you. But his love is obviously not enough if he's telling you he wants to sort things out on his own. I am not trying to be the mean person and make this harder for you. I just think it would be a total shame if you wait around for him, thinking you will get back together, and you never do. Then you will have wasted a lot of time, thought and energy instead of actually living your life for yourself.

Break-ups are hard, I know this. When my ex-girlfriend broke up with me, I thought my life was over. I was convinced she was the only one for me. I couldn't understand her rationale that things were too difficult in her life for her to have a boyfriend. I had some really bad days where I just wanted to curl up in a hole and die, days where I was angry and days where I was extremely sad, and days that I thought would never end. But after some time, it became less painful. Each day that passed was a little easier. While I still thought about her every day, it became less and less each day. Instead of thinking of all the good things we had between us, I started to remember the things that weren't so good. This was over a year ago. I still love her to this day but I don't think about her every day anymore. I have dated other girls since she broke up with me but I haven't yet found one that I am ready to settle down with. I know that if my ex and I are meant to be together, it will happen on its own; but I won't wait around for it. I need to continue to live my life, the same way she is living hers. And I think you need to do the same. It won't be easy, but if you have supportive friends and family, as I did, you will get through it.

Good luck to you in your future endeavours.

well thank u for the advice I will think about what u have said. me and my ex have decided to be close friends for right now and we still talk a lot and plan on still seeing each other. we are still going to help each other as much as possible and be there for each other. we still tell each other everything cause we are still close as ever. he just wants to wait a while to see how things go and let things cool down. he still wants to marry me and have kids with me, even get our own place when the time is right. I will still go on with my life but with him still a part of it as a friend for now. after things have cooled down and gotten back to as normal as possible we will start over. with the job he has he is on a trial period type thing where he is full time for 90 days to see if he is a good worker and after the 90 days he is still at the job he goes to part time & will work 3 days a week instead of 5 days & when he starts the part time he wants to start college and go for 3 days a week so he isn't so over working himself with college work and homework. so once he starts college I will probably help him to study for tests and things for that and with anything else. we are doing just fine now cause we have talked about all that has happened and have accepted being really close friends for the time being but will still live our lives as before except I will have a job and my license where I didn't when we were BF/GF. so I will be able to keep busy most of the day. and will feel more independent and not rely on him to come to my house to hang out or to pick me up to go somewhere or have my parents take me places. I will be able to go out by myself more and we will be able to meet places to hang out like the movies or skating things like that and will be able to take turns driving places and not have him drive everywhere. we are still going to be close as ever because we have such an emotional tie or however that is said between us because we have had sex multiple times over the course of a year and a half that is how involved and in love we were with each other. we still have that tie between us but as really close friends and it is a friendship probably not a lot of ppl would understand. we both know that we are meant to be together but are taking it one day at a time for now and with time we will get back together.

leave him alone. Don't see him anymore. What you are feeling is a very selfish feeling, not love. Love makes you care, in-love makes you want. Want is a selfish emotion. Right now you want your boyfriend to be with you.

If you love him, leave him alone to do what he needs to do.

Because you want him so much you will always feel the pain of not having him and will take every encounter as a chance of a reunion, which is dangerous and could just lead to more pain.

Maybe he will come back, maybe he won't, but right now you need to leave him alone and remember that the pain you feel is not from love it is from want. Love does not hurt, failed expectations do.

life is too short for drama and petty things, so kiss slowly, laugh insanely, love truly, and forgive quickly.

why should I leave him alone if I want to help him and he wants my help? and why should I stop seeing him for? we can still be friends for now until he has had enough time to sort everything out he has all the space he needs. and what do u mean I am having a very selfish emotion for wanting him back!! I love him! and he loves me back for who I am but he just needs a little time to sort out things. and don't tell me that I am being selfish I know for a fact that he wants to be with me as much as I want to be with him and that we both don't want to hurt the other. I have left him to do what he needs to do but we have talked about what has happened and have given some advice to him. I don't know why u think I should not see him and to leave him alone it's not a big deal to help him if he wants the help.  I have already seen him since we broke up and are going to see each other again. I know there is a chance of more pain if we keep seeing each other but in my case it has actually helped the pain go away and yes every encounter is like a reunion because we get to see each other and know that we still have something going on even though we are not together. before I had lots of pain because I know I wanted him back soo much but I now realize that always thinking about it won't actually help bring him back to me. I know I love him because I know I can help him and give him advice if he really wants it and still be able to give him space. before I had thought that it was somehow my fault that we broke up but it was kind of my fault for not getting my license and a job sooner and also because he had things going on with his family that he needed to sort out mostly. we have become friends and closer to each other because we love each other and it doesn't hurt anymore like it did before. he even said when we first met after the break up that the net day we would be officialy back together but i asked him if he was sure he wanted to get back together so soon and he thought about it a couple mins. and he said he would need a little more time before we got back together but wouldn't be too much longer. so please  if ur gonna  give advice  know what is really going on, know the whole story if they r willing to tell it and give advice accordingly. but thanks for the advice anyway. I will keep it in mind.
