Should I completely break up with my boyfriend?

Asked by punkrockworld (960points) July 29th, 2009

Okay.. here’s the juice.. :)
I have been dating my ’‘boyfriend’’ for about 7 months. I’m not sure if we’re boyfriend, girlfriend even though he says we are, I surely do not feel that way. He’s very unreliable and I am constantly left behind, wondering what he’s doing etc..
Now, last week he said he was going to go on a trip with his friends.. ’‘friends I don’t know’’. I was sad, because it was my last week before I went on a vacation. He said he would text me all the time. He did not text me once.
I didn’t even know he was back until i saw him today at the gym. I acted like i did not see him, but i’m sure he saw me.
I have never slept with him or anything, so sometimes I even wonder why he wants to date me in the first place. He’s shady and it’s really starting to annoy me. I do not want to get hurt and I want to end it because I really like him.

Shady sounds like it is not good for you. There’s good men out there.

I’m going to go simple here.

Your relationship is bad if you have to question it. There is a good guy out there waiting for you to meet him.

Well the first thing you have to do is tell him you feel left out. It doesn’t sound like this is a one time occurrence so if you don’t say anything it will keep happening. Its possible he’s not interested anymore and that’s another thing you should bring up. You don’t want to waste your time trying to make someone like you. It might sound crazy now but there is a “good guy” out there for you as others have stated above me.

His behavior shows that he doesn’t respect you, or the ‘commitment’ you’ve made to each other. Dump him. You deserve much better and you will find it. This guy’s not even treating you like a friend . . .

@johnpowell got it right, 100%. It’s a bad relationship in the first place, so let it go. I guess if you do want to remain friends with him (for what reason, I don’t know, because it sounds like he treats you like crap), then I guess try to let him down easy.

I’m sorry to say after reading your explanation it doesn’t really seem like you’re in the kind of relationship you think you’re in. He obviously takes you for granted… leaves you waiting around for him whie he goes and does hit thing without taking into account either your feelings, schedule, opinion or availability.

This guy does not deserve you. I know it sucks when you have to come to a decision like this… all i can do is suggest you listen to the following.

the song lyrics are the important thing… i couldn’t find a non-live version so ignore the dumbass video… “so long so long.. front foot leads the back one…”

Yeah, he doesn’t really sound that into your so called “relationship”. You deserve better. Seriously.

you’ll find someone more worth your time.

whenever I read these questions I feel that in every single instance, the OP knows the answer already.

jrpowell's avatar

@ABoyNamedBoobs03 :: they want a glimmer of hope.

ABoyNamedBoobs03's avatar

I was thinking just the opposite. I usually seems to me like many who are in this situation ask such a question because they want to be reassured that they should end their relationship.

dump him, and move on.

chicadelplaya's avatar

Yes, you should. He’s a complete ass and you deserve better.

When you can say that someone is Shady…there is your answer.

Do better for yourself! Good luck!

A guy who does not respect their girlfriend does not deserve to have a girlfriend. Find someone who will appreciate you and show you some respect.

figbash's avatar

@ABoyNamedBoobs03 : and to add to JP’s comment, they also want to believe that there must be some rational explanation for being treated so badly by someone who’s supposed to care about them. It’s really hard to stomach that someone would actually treat you like that.

I could have stopped reading after I noticed the parenthesis on boyfriend. He’s just using you, possibly just waiting for his chance at sex. If you don’t know the friends, he could have at least given the name of one or two and said what kind of people they are. He gave you no info and more or less blew you off. Do yourself a favor and dump him and be done with him.“Let’s be friends” will be seen by him as a chance to use you again.

Perhaps my definition is outdated, but from what you’ve described , you don’t sound like you’re in a “relationship”.

He says you’re boyfriend/girlfriend. You say you’re not.

He goes away, does not provide you with any information or keep in touch.

He returns without telling you until you happen upon him at the gym – where you decide to ignore him.

?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Sounds to me like there’s nothing to break off.

Next time he contacts you tell him you’ve forgotten his name.

Jack79's avatar

You’ve already broken up with him. You just didn’t notice.

cookieman's avatar

@Jack79: Exactly my point.

girlofscience's avatar

Did you really expect anyone was going to respond and say, “No. You should not break up with him. He sounds perfect”?

punkrockworld's avatar
