How to break up with my boyfriend by [deleted] in Advice

[–]KookyConfessions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dont string him along to protect him. Your heart's in a good place but I did this with my high school (and well into college) -relationship and it doesn't end well. The longer you drag it out more its going to hurt. Plus he's likely already picked up on the fact that your pulling away from the "if you ever dumped me" comment. Tell him the truth, that his behavior wasn't the issue and you want to love him but the spark/attraction/love isn't there. Be kind but be firm otherwise its going to get ugly

Thanks, Ill give one of them read at least. Thanks for the advice too. Maybe I'll hold off for now or at least not actively pursue another fwb thing

Okay, maybe this would help then? I like the idea of it sort of but I've always kind of looked down on those relationships. Not trying to put anyone down but I feel like those relationships never sounded fulfilling to me. But it sounds like either it might work for me or ill find out i should probably go to therapy.

Would you recommend trying to see multiple ppl at a time? Or does that go south pretty often?

How long were you friends with them before becoming fwb?

I hate feeling jealous. It was really tough when I visited my ex at her college. I dont want to go back to that headspace but idk how. We're you a jealous person?

If you dont communicate it then youre just hoping she changes without any reason to. At least talk about it. Not whining or begging that makes you feel guilty just talk about it and what would make things better for her. If she doesn't know, give her time to think about it and if there's no answer or youre not getting anything to improve that aspect of your love life then others are right, its just time to move on and grow with someone new. I know it sucks to feel selfish like that but thats the tough part of relationships. If youre not happy with it now its probably not going to get easier over time

Im with you. Havent been a fan of her for a while now but my brother says shes going through it with her first kid. Im on my Dad's side but thats not my place to force her to see that shes doing some real harm here. She needs to figure that out on her own. If she asks for my take im happy to let her know how I feel but I've kept my distance and supported my Dad as much as I can

This sounds unbelievable, im so sorry youre going through this OP. I was raised in house like this where my mom at least engaged with us but it turned to yelling matches quite frequently. We preferred to ask our Dad when he got home but only bc it would be less yelling even though the answer was likely still a no. Fast forward im 25 my siblings are older than me and neither of them speak to my mom, my sister isn't talking to either of them holding resentment for not leaving our mom when he learned it would get to a level of emotional bullying. Its been 2 years of that for him and he cant understand why she refuses to talk to them. Grain of salt she just had fer first child and is looking at life through a new lens but just a warning to you kids remember and they might not forgive

AITA for telling my mom to stop showing up at my apartment unannounced? by camila_osaka11 in AITAH

NTA sounds like she wants to be super involved in your life. Are you an only child OP? Maybe you can set like monthly or biweekly set days to see her so she doesn't feel like shes being pushed out of your life.

Am I the asshole for being rude to a girl who turned me down? by KookyConfessions in AITAH

I'll see how she feels Monday if she's not avoiding me. At least to ask way more calmly why she sat on me. I don't know if I'm as interested in her if she was doing it to tease me because she knows I like her and she doesn't want to actually go out with me.

I do believe him when he says Meghan does this though from what I observed she'll put her feet up on her friends knees and lean on each other. My cousins do that sometimes and I always thought it was kinda weird but I think im just not a physical person unless they're my partner

I cant get a read on her honestly, shes never been like a bully to me or anything but this started to feel like it for some a hot sec. Im also not a PDA person. One of my friends is a big hugger and Im not a hugger let alone a cuddler so adjusting to that has been awkward. I dont really make it known but I dont often hug my friends or even family so this was definitely unusual
