Judyyoungg (11)   ranked 184 out of 2,067 in been in love2 months ago

I have been with my boyfriend for over two years, we were both in high school when we started dating and now he's a freshman at NYU and I'm a senior at a high school in Georgia. For me, I love him, hands down. I think about him every day and he nearly never really leaves my mind.
But recently, we've been arguing more than the usual, and I don't really blame it on the long-distance because we were doing fine for two months. We argue mostly on his lack of efforts, I don't really see him putting much into it like texting back in a timely manner or calling back when I call. He's not the type of guy to cheat, if he's through with a girl, he can break up with her; so I don't think he's been seeing other girls as well (plus he's a huge hermit).
I'm the type of person who likes to be shown change and efforts, not constantly told that things will be different the next time.
To you mylotters, when is the right time to just, let go? Does he need to cheat? Does he need to hit the other person? Or simply, say something incredibly rude to his significant other? Where do you draw the line.

As I read your love story, I think that it's incredible how you have gone through some rough times. Today might be one of those trials that came to assail you and try your love for each other. Therefore, I think that it's not the time to say goodbye but to look back at the good times you had together. Those things that you have enumerated are simple things and I believe that you can work it out to make your relationship prosper. wub

It can be a difficult decision to make, but one that I am familiar with, as I was in a 5 year relationship until my Sophomore year in college. This was 6 years ago, and my ex boyfriend and I are still very good friends today. You need to follow your heart and decide what will be the best for you while you are in school. If you want to work it out and stay with him, perhaps you both need to sit down and talk about why you have been arguing and get all of your thoughts and feelings out on the table. Communication is always key. I wish you all the best and please keep us updated.

I think the problem is the distance like they say out of sight is out of mind. This has happened to a friend of mind a relationship they for 3 years and they had to seperate because of work, after a while, communication became strained, and she found out he was cheating on her. I would advice you to talk to your boyfriend tell him how you feel about communcation if he promies to change and he does good if not try to see him presonally and know what is on his mind

Every relationship goes through ups and downs. You need to decide if you love him or if you don't really want to be bothered putting the time into the relationship. Since you are dating, this is a good time to decide if this is what you want to go through for the rest of your life. You aren't married yet, but if you were this could still be happening. The best time to call it quits is before you even think of getting married. If you love him and are just having a spat, then like all things, it will pass and you will forget about this. Goodluck.

You sound like a smart girl. They key to ending a relationship and still being on good terms with the person so that a friendship can be maintained would be in the timing. When things just aren't going right for you anymore...when your upset more than not that is when it is time to say...hey let's take a break. This just is not working for me. Don't wait until he does something horrible. You don't need any other reason than it simply is not working for you. In doing it this way, you will maybe upset him but he will respect you for your honesty. Once the hurt wears off, you will be able to be friends again and who knows maybe even work things out. You may also find that you have simply outgrown this relationship. .

hi judyyoungg From the sound of what you said, I think that
you already know the answer but need help to decide.you are
only 17 and just getting out of high school. Yes you love
him but you do not sound like you are really ready for a
steady live together type of relationships and he sounds like
he might be wanting to date others. I would think it was time
to cool it perhaps as you probably will go on to college first
anyway. of course this is ultimately your own decision but
you really sound like you have already decided it. You may yet
find the perfect person too so I would not be too hasty to get tied down if I were you.


Judyyoungg (11)   ranked 184 out of 2,067 in been in love  2 months ago

Hi hatley,
What you have said to me made plenty of sense, and I have decided to wait upon my college response letters before talking to my boyfriend about anything else serious for the time being. We had made amends and are doing fine for now; he's finishing up his midterms as I am finishing up college applications and maintaining good grades.
And true, I am at a very young age, which makes me more susceptible to leaving this relationship and moving onto others. But for some reason I really do hope this one works out, I care for him a lot and have tended to him during his sickness and vice versa. I guess it'd feel wrong for me to leave a guy who took care of me while I was in my most ugly, disgusting, or pitiful situation. He knows everything about me, and I guess that's why I also work so hard in this relationship. According to him, he says I don't need to work too hard. Could that be our main problem?

hello~ judy! to be honest, the long-distance is a big problem between the lovers, i'm a college student now, and i've seen a lots of my classmate who broke up their love which was started from high school, in my opinion,i think it's not correct to request someone with your own standard, like the argue between you and your bf, you think he is lack of effort,maybe you just don't know the situation he is in~~ as you are still a senior student,i suggest you setting your mind on your study first~: )~ good luck to you~ my friend!

for me, the perfect time to let is during the time when i'm no longer happy and during the time when i can already see myself transformed from somebody whom i'm not.
