So heres my story. Its nothing compared to others but It hurts just the same I guess. I know its long but I need advice quickly so please read and help!

I was with my boyfriend for a year and a half. We were both each others first everything. I love this kid more then anything in the world. Im a year older then him and our whole entire relationship has been weekends. When I met him I went to college the next week. We saw each other every weekend after that. When he started school I was afraid it would end but we compromised we talked when we could (which was every night for 15 mins) and saw each other every weekend(saturday and sunday). When we did see each other he basically lived with me. He would come to my house and sleep on the couch ( I live with my parents) or he would come to school. Everything was great really. He asked me a few times to move in with him but I couldnt because of school. Two weeks before he broke up with me he told me for the first time that he loved me. I never even saw the break up coming.

He broke up with me on March 24th. It all started that Monday we had a silly argument and I thought everything was ok but then the next day he was still made and it sounded like he didnt want to be with me anymore. The next day he told me that he didnt think he wanted a girlfriend anymore but he couldnt make any decisions until he saw me. That saturday he was supposed to come after work so around 1pm. I waited all day until 8 and decided to call him. I asked him if he was going to come and he said no that he would tomorrow. I said would you like me to make this easy on you, are you going to break up with me? He said yes. I begged for a second chance but he said he was done.


I found out the next day from a friend that he was hanging out with another girl the day after he broke up with me. I called him that weekend and asked to hang out and he said no. I called him the next weekend to ask again and he didnt answer. I left him a message and told him to call me back and he did. We talked and he was rude to me I realized at the end of the convo that he was at this other girls house. I was devestated. I left him an angry email about how rude it was to talk to me while she sat there as well as a few more things. I didnt hear from him for two weeks. It would have been longer but I heard that he and this girl had began dating. I called him just to find out and really didnt expect him to answer but he did. He told me he had been thinking of calling me and he had planned to the next day. We talked for two hours. I have never talked to him for two hours on the phone ever. He told me how he is afraid to have sex with his new girlfriend. I told him how I couldnt imagine being with anyone(intimately)other then him and he said neither can I. He made it seem as though he missed me as if he made a mistake. He also informed me that his new girlfriend "used" to drink and do drugs and she has had sex with two other guys. These are things that are a big deal to him. He doesnt even talk to his own cousin because she has done drugs. And for him to be with someone who has had sex with more then one person, that amazes me. I dont get why she is so much better then me. So being stupid I called him the next day and told him I needed to talk to him in person. The whol reason I want to talk is because I want to tell him that hes making a mistake and that I think we should try again though he doent know my reasons for wanting to talk to him. He said he would call me the next night late to decide when. He never called. The next day(monday) he did call though and he said he didnt know when but he would call me later in the week to let me know. I waited until Thursday and decided to call him. He was so rude to me telling me I dont know why you cant just tell me on the phone. I told him it was important and it had to be done in person. He told me that if he comes home he would be bringing his girlfriend with him. He agreed on calling me by Saturday to let me know what time on Sunday he could see me. That conversation also included me asking if he had sex with her yet. He told me it was none of my business. I asked why the week before he could tell me and he said that he realized after that he said to much. He said that if he said no then I would just keep asking and if he said yes I would hate him and never want to talk to him ever again. So Saturday came and I didnt recieve a call so I called him. We argued and finally agreed that I was to come to his house to talk while his girlfriend stayed inside. So here we are today Sunday the day I was supposed to go talk to him. He calls me and tells me he isnt coming home anymore. And he also realized it would be rude of him to talk to me with his girlfriend there. I said so what does that mean and he said cant you just tell me on the phone and I said no. He started to freak out. He told me that he doesnt believe me that its something important that it is just something that would piss him off. I told him that i was important and he said that hes sick of this and were just going in circles. I told him he needed to calm down and he said that he has been calm the last 5 times Ive called him. I said im not going to talk to him about this while shes standing right there and he said your not going to talk about it on the phone anyways. He said that he doesnt understand what could be so important that I need to tell him in person I said just do this then if you want you can never talk to me again. Hes like why do you need to say whatever this is why cant you just be done and never talk to me again now, I dont understand why you need to say this one last and then you can never talk to me again. I said that I was just saying if he didnt want to talk to me again after this then fine but its important that he knows this. I told him to call me when hes not with her and will can talk about it and he said fine but it wouldnt be until tomorrow.



I dont know what to do. I just want to be with him so bad. I dont know why hes being mean to me. Its like hes only mean when hes with her. So just tell me what should I do. Is there any hope for us? Ive never felt so horrible in my whole life. When he calls tomorrow I dont know if I should tell him what I wanted to say in person or just let it go. I just want him back and I want to know how to get him.

Geez, so he broke up with you on the phone? Shabby.

I don't see any particular hope for you guys, sorry. It sounds like he does miss you in the sense of someone who he could talk to, someone who knew him well, and it's hard to get out of that habit. It also sounds like he considers this relationship completely and totally over, though.

I think you have some right to say look, the last time I saw you we were still a couple and I didn't know it was the last time I'd see you. It's not fair -- at least let me say goodbye in person.

Beyond that though, I think the more you contact him the more annoyed he'll get, and the longer it will take for you to get over it and move on.

Good luck...

You want him back. Unfortunately, in this world you don't always get what you want.

I don't know whether your former boy friend was fed up with a weekend romance or a romance with an older, college woman or being tied down for this last year in high school. Whatever his reasons, he's fed up and out of love.

He's not very mature. One sign of his immaturity is the cold, heartless way he let you know that the romance was over.

All the same, the romance is over.

He does not belong to you. No matter how many tears you shed or phone calls you make or e-mails you send, he does not want to be your boy friend.

You can't get him back because he doesn't want to come back.

I know this isn't what you wanted to hear, but what were you hoping to hear? Secret recipes for powerful love potions? Directions for hunting down and hog tying a reluctant lover? A sure-fire, super-dooper eraser that would remove this other female from his life?

Over is over.

You can accept his decision with dignity and concentrate on rebuilding your life--and passing your exams or you can yammer and whine and cry and make a damn fool of yourself chasing after him.

These aren't the choices you want, but they are the choices you have.

Good luck.

Thank you both so much for your advice. Would you suggest I not answer the phone when he calls tomorrow or should I answer? I feel silly for asking questions like this but Im honestly lost when it comes to this relationship

I would suggest something like:

If he calls, answer. Say your piece about wanting to say good-bye in person (if you do). If he doesn't want to, accept that, and say good-bye over the phone. Then start getting over it.

That's just me though.

Falling in love is easy--you instinctively know the rules.

Falling out of love is much harder.

Decide whether "ending it in person" is going to easy your pain or increase your pain.

Personally, I think you'll just make your former lover angrier and more hurtful than he is now, but it is up to you.

Do you really need more ugly memories?

Take the call--if he calls. He may chicken out. He doesn't want ugliness, either.

Not taking the call would be playing games--another kind of ugliness.

Tell him you accept that your romance is over. If you can, wish him well.

Hang up. Let him remember you as a woman with charm and dignity.

Good luck.

Mat,
I'm a 'no brainer' when it comes to such matters of the heart, but here goes:
IMO if your ex is really finished with you (and it sure seems like it) the least he could do is tell you "WHY?." No sense arguing with the guy though if he's found someone else. It's a done deal and it's happening all over the world every nanosecond. I just hope you didn't waste any money on him.
You were good enough for him at the start and after 18 months he does a complete U turn. If you get the opportunity to talk to him face to face, and if I was in your shoes, I would have to ask him WHY? We all need closure in such things and IMO it's the least he could do after an 18 month relationship. Then you can move on. You deserve better. You should set your sights HIGHER. You are in control of your life, so show it. Be strong. If you let him know how much he still means to you, then he has all the power, and he has won. He is not worth it and IMO you are better off without him.
P.S. I agree 100% with all of the other excellent advice from people far wiser than me.

Yes, set your sights higher. You deserve better.

But, on the Why of it, well, in my experience sometimes you don't get an answer...

Three year relationship with engagment for me was ended with my "beloved" not speaking to me any longer and me finally moving out (after two months of silence). Never did get a Why out of it. Even afterwards during the following year of mind games.

Move on. Sounds harsh but with his treatment of you, that's what you need to do. Take care of yourself. Do not think about what you could have done or could have changed in order for him to stay with you. Sometimes there's no easy answers about another person's behavior.
It's on him. Think of yourself, seriously.

Be strong for you.

I doubt if he'll be able to tell you "Why." The truth is, he probably doesn't know why.

Asking him point blank will put him on the spot, and nobody likes that, so he will have to make something up to put a stop to your questions. It may not be truthful, and it most certainly won't be satisfying. Don't bother asking.

Actions speak louder than words, and his actions are fairly screaming, "It's over." Noddy said it best. Wish him well, and leave with your dignity intact.

I'm sorry, but that's the best you can do. It's time to move on.
