MissKin agony auntYou begin by saying you 'really do love him' and follow it up with 'you think you're falling out of love with him' aswell as 'you think you shouldn't be together'.

I think it's obvious that you're rather confused about how you feel. Make sure you're making the right decision.

His threats are extreme and must make you feel like you have no way out. It could just be that he loves you and knows you love him and does not understand the reason for you wanting to leave.

Make sure you have a long, well communicated talk to him about how you're feeling - see if you can work it out together.

Regardless of if you love him or not, if you wish to leave him then he is showing that he isn't mature enough to respect your wishes.

If you decide you do really still love him, maybe you should think about his reaction. No one should use threats like this to trap someone they care about and perhaps he should seek counselling for such thoughts.

You're young and love is hard. Don't try to take this all on yourself, speak to an adult, a teacher, a friend, a counsellor, even a doctor or ring the samaritan helpline. Someone will help talk things through with you if your boyfriend is unwilling to see reason.

Best wishes,

Miss K.

Laura1318 agony auntHe is using threats to stop you from leaving.He is holding you to ransom. Whether they are real or empty threats we do not know.If you think , you must leave, then there is nothing you can do about him. If any untoward incident happens , it is not your fault. No one can take away your freedom.
