Me: I love you and I just want to make things work better. If I stop caring and just let everything slide then we'll be ok right? ^^

Him: Doesn't seem to matter anyways.

oh. dear lord.

the couples key rings?

my love, that's just so ott it's creepy! if that were me, i'd be breaking landspeed records to get away.

i'm sorry, but I would.

you need to love yourself before others will.

Fucking hell, don't just walk away from this man but do not date or have sex for one whole year. YOu are far too whiny, needy and desperate to be dating at present, and so you are an absolute magnet for abusers. You need to sort yourself out, learn to stand on your own feet and enjoy being single. It's only when you are happy as a single person that you are in any kind of shape to date. because it's only then that you will be tough and smart enough to dump unsatisfactgory men or refuse to date them in the first place.

Shock SGB! She's right though! Take a break and find out more about yourself.

I just got a long text from him. And I don't know how to reply to this
''
I'm just exhausted, I'm sick of fighting. I always feel accused and feel sick of explaning every little bit of everything. I feel like you can never trust me, that its harsh to be with you. It's just saddening to me. I don't want to leave you alone but I don't want to feel like shit in the process. Im truthful, I love you. But it's really hard to be happy with how things are. Just don't lie, don't be fake, assume the best from the other person but let them know your worry. I feel like all of this is basic. But I need to say it anyways. So stop being alone, and just focus.. we got this.''

What should I do or say? I feeel like whatever I say will be wrong

Blimey the pair of you talk in riddles and you both sound like really hard work. Confused

I think what he's basically trying to say though, is that you are especially hard work, and he's just not that into you.

Sorry.

SoftKittyWarmKitty · 23/11/2014 11:33

I thought you were walking away anyway, so it really doesn't matter what his overly confusing text says, does it?

HelloItsMeFell · 23/11/2014 11:33

OK, if he's only 19 and you are really needy, too intense, constantly questioning him and making really heavy weather of everything then he'll perfectly understandablybe freaking out a bit right now, and looking for the nearest emergency exit.

Yes I agree with you. That's exactly what I thought.
I give him a break for now. Thank you all for helping me. I believe he loves me. It's just I was being to needy and made him feel uneasy.

My 23 year old DD just split up with her BF because he wasn't making her happy and three months later she is transformed. She is energetic, ambitious, brave and has her sparkle back. I am so proud of her.

How is your life going Ginny ? Do you have a career? Do you want to travel? Do you do sport or have hobbies that make you excited?

You are young and have a world of opportunities ahead of you. You need to spend some time building yourself up and fcussing on being a whole happy person before you allow anyone else the privilege of sharing your life.

Come on. We will cheer you on!

I'm studying fashion design in London. I work really hard and hopefully one day I'll be successful. That's more important to me. Thank you all for the advices. It was a excellent idea to join this forum as I'm still new into these relationships things.

You carry on like this love, and you will end up in the most dangerous of relationships. Trust me.

End this relationship now, you are making a very young man totally miserable, stressed and anxious, if he were my son, I'd be telling him to dump you and ringing loud and long warning bells 24 hours a day at him.

You need to see your own worth, see what is lovable in you and embrace the person you are. you ARE good enough. for you, and for others, but all this angst is going to destroy you and everything around you.

Stop dating others, start dating yourself and focus on what is important.

SolidGoldBrass · 23/11/2014 18:05

He sounds like a bit of a drama llama as well, which is another really good reaason to stop this relationship. Two whining, clinging, tortured souls angsting at each other by text is not just seriously boring for everyone around them but seriously, seriously unhealthy.
He's not here to be told to get a grip and move on, but you are. Start enjoying your life and focusing on yourself rather than romantic/sexual relationships, which are the least important kind and should only be engaged in when they are enjoyable: the minute they get hard work, call a halt and move along.

Headgone · 23/11/2014 19:43

I don't know what either of you is on about. Maybe you just can't communicate clearly with each other.
