so confused, I still want to be with my boyfriend of 2 1/2yrs..eventhough, I know he has a bad anger problem. He's always there when I need him. He says that it's best we live apart but still stay together. I could never trust him being apart like that because he cheated on me twice with the same girl. Why can't I let go and move on. Should I settle since he says that he is tryin to change.

From reading this i dont think you two should be together, but i could be wrong. He has an anger problem, has he ever hit you? If yes, then get out now. He wont change. If you are not going to live together in the future then what is the future going to be. Him living on his own and having the life of riley? I dont think so. I would get rid and get someone who you so deserve.

take care

I don't know jazzie. You know my ex fed me a line like that once. He asked me to move out of our place together and live seperately. I asked him if that meant that he wanted to break up and he said no let's still date but live seperately.

Anyways I moved out and once I did, he just changed and stopped calling me as much. In fact the last time I talked to him he said he would call me back in the weekend and it's been a year and 2 months and he still hasn't called me back.

Of course, I got the hint pretty quickly so I never asked questions I just moved on.

Look its a BAD sign that you both have been together for so long and he doesn't want things to progress between you guys. Not to mention all his cheating. I mean that's just pathetic on his part.

Honey if I can get through a break up (which I've gotten through so many) then ANYONE can. You are at an age where you have lived alot. You are at an age that commands respect. Think about who you are as a woman and all of the things that you have gone through and all of the things that you have to offer. That deserves respect and appreciation. Don't settle for this any longer. He is just a hindrance on your life. He's not helping you move forward and blossom as a happy individual. Just pick your head up and move forward. Leave this behind you. If you continue you are just wasting precious precious time. Don't be a fool.

girlwhoneedshelp agony auntI don't think this guy should be with anyone right now. He should be sorting himself out. If he has cheated on you and has anger problems maybe you two should have a break totally from eachother and let him sort himself out. He has to re-earn your trust and respect and he can't do this if you are still together as you are still clinging onto him. You have to let him know that you are serious and that if he doesn't change then you can't be together. Do you seriously want a guy who's going to cheat on you and who you can't trust to be away from? Give him an ultimatum and see how he reacts.
