Should we just break up?

I've been with this guy since my freshman year in high school, and we've been through everything together.I lost my [v] to him and I've cried to him, and told him I wanted to be with him forever. Complete vulnerability.He is on the football team and got a scholarship to UCLA.No matter what he says or assures me, I have this deep feeling that he's going to cheat on me or break up with me. I dont want to have any false hope and think things are going to work when they're not. He keeps telling me he won't do it,but I know sometimes people lie. Should we break up?

You need to stop being paranoid and insecure. if h assures u everything will be fine if u love him then jus take his word for it until he gives u signs of something different. trust me if u begin or continue to nag him about this ur goin to drive him away. jus support him 100% and make try to make it work

I haven't told him or showed him what I'm feeling. I refuse to be a clingy,naggy girlfriend.

Why give up on him for no reason at all. Why fear of your own doubts, why not keep your relationship with him and pray to God that nothing negative will gonna happen. You're thinking of breaking up with him because of your doubts that he might cheat on you? Why not give her your trust anyway he's swearing he won't do. Show him you deserve to be her lifetime partner and love him more because of his success in the field he's in to. You have the edge compared to any other girls as you'd been with him for quite a long time and you'd given everything that he would treasure. So, support trust and love him and have faith in God that He will bless and keep you together.

You said "I have this deep feeling that he's going to cheat on me..." why do you think that way? You, above anyone else in here, knows your guy... if you really love him, I think it is also vital that you learn to trust him....

i think you just like my friend (girl) who directly break up her boy friends because of distance, but still hope about the releationship... i should say... don't break up, and believe on him.

If you have been dating him for quite a while, then you should be able to trust him by now, if you can't you shouldn't even be dating in the first place. Just see what happens, and try to assure yourself that he's not. If it's possible, come and visit him once in a while at school and see for yourself what is happening.

I guess that's up to you. but couldnt you just move with him if you are both serious ?

I'd give him a chance if you've been together that long there must be something between you and it would be a shame to lose that before he's even cheated, assuming he even would. If I were in that situation I'd have a trial period of a few months with the long distance relationship then see how you both feel.

However, I think, sometimes people need lies-lies in good faith. Or sometimes a little muddled, woolly-headed, so that talent will not be so hard living. If you want everything clear, plain, then you have to do a good job in pain, frustration and suffering preparation.

I think you would be silly to just break up because you fear that he will cheat on you.. Fear is the one thing that causes people in your shoes to have these thoughts of mistrust.. the question is do you love him that much to trust him? Does he love you the same way? Do you know him very well? It sounds to me you dont really know each other very well otherwise if you did by now this whole time you have been together you should have at least grasp his level of honesty and trust towards you.. What is causing this deep feeling you are having? From my point of view I can see that the level of trust and honesty in this relationship are definietly not balanced..

Hi!I think you should trust him and give it a try.If he will do something foolish when he's away then you can ask for the break up.Give him a chance to prove his honesty and love.It might work out.

I don't think you should break up for no reason or cause at all. As the saying goes, don't fix something when it is not broken. He has not cheated or done something bad. So why break up now? Break up when he does cheat on you but until that happens, then don't. Maybe he really is a decent guy who lives up to his word. Give him and your relationship a chance. Maybe things will work out in the end. Don't end your relationship prematurely. Who knows, your long-distance relationship may work :)

i don't think you should break up with him just because you think he might cheat. you love him and you guys been through many things so trust him unless he gave you a reason not to. trust in your love for one another and let your heart guide you the rest of the way.

Hi freind i donot think you need o go for breakup. you have such a long long relation with him and you had lost your v to him so he is your first love. its not easy to forget him . my suggestion to you is to just believe on him have trust as he said and he will be back to you soon. He is away for better future of both of you. if you still feel he is not worth to believe and you are in need of someone urgently and you me go for breakup . than charge of cheating will comes on you and you ahve to face it. good luck.

I don't know if I should say exactly what I think or not. I don't want to hurt your feelings, but maybe what I say will not have an impact at all. If you love him like it is implied that you do, then you have to trust what he says. If you keep behaving the way you do, which comes off as needy and insecure, he is no going to want to be with you. You are going to run him off. I don't exactly how old you guys are, but in all honesty this may or may not be the person you are meant to spend the rest of your life with. Just trust what he says and take it one day at a time, because if he keeps having to reassure you that he intends to stay with you he will go elsewhere. I know that you don't want that to happen, so calm down, trust the man or yes let him go. You can not claim that you want to spend your life with someone in one breath and then question every thing they say and do in the next unless you are crazy. If you really feel that he is going to hurt you by lying or cheating then get out of that relationship now, because it will not get better unless you decide you or going to give him the benefit of the doubt. Anyway, I wish you well and hope that you can work it out. Put yourself first.

does he give you any reason not to believe him at all? if not then why you should break up on him? if you really love him you should believe him and no matter how distance it might be you just have to believe in your love for him. and if ever he did cheat on you just think that it wasn't your lost but his lost! think positive don't let your worries ruin your relationship. regards to you and your boyfriend... go girl! :)

I am torn down the middle on this one....on one hand if you guys are that close then you shouldnt be worried. Im sure you have been through thick and thin with him....this is just another thick part. but on the other, women have gut instincts and if this is one of those gut feelings then it could happen. I think that you should just listen to your heart on this one!

this is all about trust... do you trust him or not? relationships are built on trust and love. how much do you love him? how much do you trust him? i've seen some long distance love affair that worked, and when they were able to see each other they got married and now living happy together.. don't break up with him yet... think about this, if you break up with him now, you cry... if he goes and later on you break up, you will still cry... enjoy your relationship for the moment. if you can trust him, then believe what he says.
