he wants a "short term relationship"

i guess i misheard him or don't understand the term.

He might have to go back to his hometown soon. He is not sure yet.

I have to leave for the summer, but he still thinks we should end it when my sophomore year of college ends. even when i come back to college in 3 months.

i keep on asking him "Why?? I can wait. I like you!"

but he says "things can happen."

I must of thought a short term relationship could have a bit of affection in it and isn't just a no strings attached fling.

I am very depressed, but i might have to break up with him, even if I just met him in March.

and he is such a nice guy too. but i think i want more in this relationship than I thought.

I worry alot, and it seems to bother him.

I can't help it. It's who I am. Plus he is uncomfortable around affection, and i have to tell the truth. I am a VERY affectionate person who loves to give everyone hugs.

It seems he has had a few traumatic girlfriends in the past and I don't know...maybe he is afraid to break up with me?

For me I am focusing on my career right now and not on a long-term romance, but I wouldn't mind a nice relationship that doesn't go to the next level, but in between.

sensual and romantic...I guess. maybe I am too clingy?

p.s. he says after we break up we should remain friends. but supposedly he still likes me.

very confused. yearning to break up because i am sad this will end in may.

A female reader, Emilysanswers United Kingdom +, writes (24 April 2008):

You know what you need to do.

Break up with him so you don't fall for him. You'll only get hurt if you leave it any longer.

He's not interested in affection or anything more than making out with no strings for a few weeks.

He may have problems but to be blunt - they are his, he needs to deal with them not you.

You say you are a career girl. Excellent! Good for you. Work on that and ignore boys who create unnecessary drama for you.

Good Luck!! xx
