Question - (19 April 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 19 April 2008)
A female United States age 30-35, *rancelys writes:

me and my boyfriend have been going out about a month, i know its not too long but the connection between us is so strong.

we've both been hurt before especially him who just broke up with his exgf. Its lasted about 1 year n 10 months she cheated on him over 4 times and he kept forgiving her until he finally had enough, they were engaged for about a year.

I feel i have to compete with her. she called him about 5 days ago and he realized he wasnt over the pain she caused him. so he decided he needed a break from us because we were getting more serious. what do i do? he seems to respond to when i ignore him and fake my confidence but i dont want to have to fake it and i dont want to lose him, everyone agrees we should be together we're so good for each other and we deserve each other, ive been hurt so much before and i just lost all hope for men i dont know what to do.. i know i deserve the best everyone says so but i hate being alone.. how do i cope with the anxiety of being on a break thats not even guaranteed??? what do i do to get him back???

a break isnt always bad and you dont have to not see him just hang out with him like a friend and be there for him then when he is ready pick up where you left off cope by still being around him and hanging out a break just means taking a step back
