Hi guys, I've never used one of these before but I'm in a very difficult situation right now.
I've been with a guy for nearly 2 years, the first 9 months I was very closed off and worried about getting hurt, but he treated me like an absolute princess so I decided to open up to him. Several months later he ended our relationship, stating that he was no longer happy. This crushed me but I admired his honesty. We were apart for just three weeks when he messaged asking me to meet for coffee, and after that we were back together. This didn't last long, as he ended the relationship again a couple of weeks later. The guy I was dating has a very bad habit of being horrible to me when we finish as he finds it easier to be angry rather than hurt, he can't seem to handle any sort of emotion. Everything he feels is magnified, even loving me when we are together, it can sometimes be quite smothering. I've never felt unloved by him which is why the breaks up always confused me. Back to my point though, our third break up was due to him hearing a tonne of crappy rumours about me which he chose to believe. It only took him a couple of days to message me after that one with a massive apology saying he didn't expect any of my time as he knew he wasn't worth it, but I love the guy so much I gave him it anyway. So that was us, we were golden for a good couple of months up until now. Crappy rumours again. Him being angry again - the only difference here though, is me. I'm not retaliating to his arguments or his nasty messages because I know he'll calm down and come back (sad thing here, I'm hoping he does.) is this right? I've heard a lot of stories of couples that go through this in the beginning and then manage to make it, but is it right? I really love this guy, like I genuinely can't see my future with anyone else bar him and that is me still accepting his flaws. It's hard to get an opinion that isn't biased around here, so if anyone could help me that would be great.
@T3xi,
Uh, no.
How many times does this have to happen?
Question: when you've been broken up, what do you do? Do you hang around, hoping to reconcile, or do you go out and try to see people, even if it isn't for dating?
Remember how crappy he's been with you the next time he pulls this. Seriously. He sounds kinda manic (Note: I am not a doctor). If everything is this intense, then it really does make me wonder.
Consider a therapist, and talk about self-esteem. Yours, not his.
@jespah,
I do go out and I have kissed other guys, it's just never the same. I understand where you're coming from though, guess I just need to find the strength to move on.
His big "flaw" is that he believes others and rumors instead of you.
I'd say that's a slap in your face, isn't it?
@PUNKEY,
Indeed it is. I appreciate all comments here, they'll atleast make me realise.
