aflp4 Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I have been in a long distance relationship for the past 14 months and my boyfriend just broke it off with me about two weeks ago. We spent the whole summer together and right before he headed back to school told me that he wanted to have a great senior year and wasn;t sure that being in a long distance relationship was going to allow that. He said that he still loves me and cares about me and whenever we talk about our relationship we both start to cry. I just went to visit him at school and he treated me like his and even introduced me to his friends as his girlfriend. He still calls me everyother night to check up on me and make sure I am ok. He even says that he is lonely and sad up at school. I just want to know how I can get him to realize just how good we are together and that he can have a girlfriend and a great senior year. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
The Don Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Just let him have some space, he will realise what he is missing. good luck the don
Brittanyjean06 Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 Yep don't let him know, and maybe thats how he will come to find out how great you guys are together.
Agent M Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 But, why does a guy need space unless there is something bothersome about the other person?
thekhris Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 the only thing that you can make someone realise things is to leave them alone...the only thing that can make them relate to your feelings is to make them realise your value...
Agent M Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 That makes sense, but I've done the space thing and when he came back to me, it was b/c he'd forgotten about the things that were bothering him, then realized them again and RAN right away. But I guess the best thing for OP is to give him space. But, why would he tell her he can't enjoy his year the "way he would like to" while in a LDR. That would send up a red flag for me.
Jaded-Arie Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 How to show him how good we are together? You don't. He broke it off! You don't show him anything, HE WAS THERE!!! And he broke it off.
Jaded-Arie Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Space??? You want space???? Join NASA ffs!!!! I won't allow anyone to take Space, 'Time Out' on my time (and emotions). Either you're in or out. And the mere fact that a person looks at a relationship and goes: Mhhhhhhhh.... I'm not too sure, will have me kicking his asss out the into open space.
littlekitty Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Personally (and it's only my opinion) I'd read what he meant as 'I can't have the senior year I want with a girlfriend in tow'. He wants to be free to 'sow his oats' and have some fun by the sound of it to me. By all means give him some space, and sure, he may come back. But I'd be wary even if he does. He told you what he wanted, and while he might miss you and come back to you, I'd be surprised if he didn't still have the kind of fun he wanted while he was away.
