Question - (5 October 2007) 4 Answers - (Newest, 6 October 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, *tef25 writes:

Hi guys. I've met this great guy, let's call him Tom in May. We met at work. He was really sweet, he bought me flowers and everything was perfect.We started dating.In July I had to leave the town for a month. He replied for my two e-mails and that's it. He didn't call me or text me at all. I started to worry.

When I came back he explained he didn't want to bother me and that he doesn't like writing e-mails. We dated in August and then I had to move out of town in September (for university). I moved only an hour's drive from where he lives. As he was in the process of changing jobs I was hoping he might move with me but he told me he would have to have a reason to do that (it hurt). I was teasing him that maybe we should break up and he said yes we should as he doesn't want a long distance relationship (he cried that evening). After I "broke up with him" I've told him I was just teasing him and that I care for him more than anything.I even offered I would quit school to stay with him but he said no.

I tried to talk to him but he said he doesn't know what to say. And that it's HIM , not me.That he's depressed. That he doesn't trust women and that his parents messed him up. And that he's sorry.

It's been a month now that I haven't seen him. This is always me who writes, texts or calls. I am confused as the last time I saw him we made up and he said he wants to try make it work.

I know I am being pathetic but I can't help it. My pride jumped out of the window and I feel like I have no respect for myself. He keeps on hurting me and I keep on loving him. All of my friends tell me to give up on him and that I deserve better.

I'm 25 and he's 27.

Please help!!! Shall I give him another chance?
