rutgers24 Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 My boyfriend and I had been going out for two years. We are both 20 years old. He broke up with me two weeks ago and said that he didnt want to be tied down and he wants to experience. But than he said I am the perfect girl for him and he hopes to God I end up with him. He than proceeded to tell me he wanted to be friends and who knows what can happen later. Another piece of information that is important to know is that his best friends a couple of months ago backstabbed him. So there was a period of 5 months where he was no longer friends with them and was always with me or his older brother. He was extremely happy with me throughout our relationship and than all of a sudden things changed. I saw his ex-best friend at the gym and decided to patch things up between them, which was a big mistake. My boyfriend(well ex now) didnt call me as much as he used to and I called him on it. He admitted he was in the wrong and said he was sorry that he just got caught up with them. Now all of a sudden he doesnt want to be tied down. His family and I are very close and they told me to do my own thing and that hes going through a phase that he will get out of. When we broke up, he called me four days later and was asking me how i was doing and what was new with me. I told him that I thought it was ridiculous for him to want to be friends now. I gave him all his stuff back the next week. My question is, what do you think happened. Also, all his friends are single and never had serious relationships. He just changed and isnt the same person, which hurts the most. I am not upset or depressed because I know I did nothing wrong. Do you think its a phase?
Stargazer25 Posted July 2, 2004 Posted July 2, 2004 Honestly, I think he said exactly what he meant for the reason he wanted to break up~ He is only 20 years old and the two of you've been together since you were both 18 years old. It sounds like he is wanting to "see what else it out there" It has nothing at all to do with anything you've done wrong, and maybe he does hope that you will still be there in the end. However, in between now and then he may meet someone else, and YOU may meet someone else as well. I'm with his family on this, do your own thing and meet new people~ Good Luck
