Hi

I'm 19 and I've been with my 32 year old boyfriend for near to 2 months. So not very long.

We used to say that we were falling in love with each other, even though he said from the start that he doesn't know if he's in love with his ex whom he hasn't seen for over a year. We talk openly about it, and her. I told him I loved him recently, and he doesn't believe that I do. He seems to think that I am too young to know, almost.

It is true when he says there will be many other men who make me feel this way. I am not denying that. I know that he won't be my one true love, most probably! I'm not kidding myself!

He says that sometimes I mean soemthing to him, and sometimes I don't, and also that I shouldn't worry about it and just see what happens. But I told him that I cannot be in a relationship with someone who loves someone else. In the end, we just start laughing, and I swear at him... all in a jokey way.

Seriously, this love-hate relationship is going to take its toll. I really meant it when I said I can't be in a relationship with someone who'd prefer to be with someone else. He says that he never said he wants to be with someone else, and that it's just me saying that.

What do I do!? I love him.. but I don't think I can stand getting hurt. I'm going away soon.. very far, to another part of the country in about a month or so... so I guess he just thinks this a quick fling.

You said in your passage, "many other men who make me feel this way". I've been told that a ton of times. What I feel he means is that - he cares about you, but doesn't truly want to be with you, that is why he is suggesting that there are others. A guy that is really in love with you, wouldn't suggest there are others. I believe he truly cares about you, just doesn't want to commit.
