Heikenpaiva Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 my boyfriend of 6 years and i have been going through a really rough time lately. last night i told him that i want us to work on some things, making time to spend with each other when i'm visiting (i go to school 1.5 hours away). i was kind of crying a little while talking about this and he just proceeded to make his dinner and not make eye contact with me. he agreed that we do need to spend more time together but it's hard since we're so busy. that's true, but i told him that this is important. he said i know, but he said it like i had just asked him to take the garbage out or do the dishes. there is some other big stuff going on, but i wanted to try and still work on us and give it a shot since we've invested 6 years into this. but he doesn't seem to interested on working on it. it's really hard, and i hope i have the strength to do it, but i think i need to move on...
Trialbyfire Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 You've just talked about it last night. Give it a couple of weeks and watch his actions. Words are meaningless without the corresponding actions. When it's over, it's over sometimes. I've walked from 5 LTRs, including a marriage. You'll know when it's time.
CBR_pilot Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Life's too short to be in a relationship that's not making you happy... Yes, relationships take time and effort, but it should be worth it too. If you're both not willing to make the effort, then you both suffer for it. Don't look at it like you wasted 6 years of your life. Rather look at it in the sense of you had many experiences that may have been good and bad, both of which will help you have a better relationship next time. There's always another great relationship just around the corner...
