writes: Help :( I have been with my bf for 7 very happy months. He got cheated on twice before he met me and was very in love with his last gf and was broken to bits when they split. We have a great relationship but he has put walls up and is finding it hard to 'feel' as deeply now. He doesn't know what to do and we have decided to split. We have very strong feelings for each other which we both admit, but there is also an 11 year age gap. He is 22; I am 33. We are not sure if splitting is the right thing? Would a break help us to see things more clearly? Any advice or input would be so appreciated. Thanx

personally from experience i dont think you should split. if you stay together you should give him a little space and gradually he will open up to you, and he'll realise that you love him and that he loves you back. he will see that you care about him and he will learn to trust you fully enough to forget bout his past bad experiences in relationships!
splitting up will make him see that he doesn't have the worry of you cheating on him and may make him feel that it's easier not to bother and split up for good! and i dont think either of you want that!
if you stick to it, i'm sure ewverything will work out eventually. just stick with it.
good luck. hope i helped a little at least. xx
