confusedx10 Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 My boyfriend and I of two years just broke up. He said he wanted space and he called me today after two weeks. He lives in Illinois and I live in Connecticut so its long distance. This year I am going to Maine for school and he is going to California. We met at our prep high school and dated junior and senior year. We saw each other every day and it was amazing. He always spoiled me and I took him for granted. I saw him a month ago and we had so much fun, but now we are facing reality. He said he still loves me but its fading. How can it fade? He wants to start with a clean slate in college and not have to worry about the pressure of a realtionship. I know I can be a lot to handle sometimes but I love him. I only recently admitted it to him but it was too late. I took him for granted when he was so good to me. I loved that he liked me more. Now I am alone. I have tried to prove to him that I love him but he's set in his decision. It just confuses me because we talked about marriage. I am 18 and he is 19 so we weren't going to get married yet but we are committed to each other. I questioned the distance and he said no i need you and we can make it work. Now i want to stay together but he changed his mind. I'm really struggling. I haven't felt this way before and even though I am only 18, I would marry him. I know I need to give him space and not talk for at least a couple of months. But i truly think I am in love. He said he loved me to even though we are breaking up. We could've stayed together but we would only see each other once or twice for the next four years at least... I know it isnt realistic to stay together but its so hard. Will this last or I am just a stupid teenager? advice please!
