A female , anonymous writes:

The night before I broke up with my boyfriend we got in a fight because he was mad that I told my friend (that he doesn't like) that he smoked pot. So, we went home instead of celebrating my birthday. He wanted to smoke some weed to calm down.

I got drunk because I was really mad. Well, we made up and made out. I said I wanted to have sex and he said he didn't want to. I was hurt and kind of surprised because he usually jumps at the chance. But he had excuses that it was because I was on my period and that he needed to trim down there (even though we had sex earlier that day while I was on my period!).

Anyway, I got over that, but then wanted to cuddle but he kept pushing me away saying I was annoying. The whole night I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep because I felt so unloved and just wanted to talk to him (i think it was my gut feeling telling me i needed to break up with him because he makes me so unhappy). So early in the morning I left and when i came back a little later that morning (on my actual b-day) he said that the night before I was completely ridiculous and that he wanted the day away from me.

Obviously I felt hurt, and since I was so unhappy, and because I was always unhappy in the relationship for reasons such as him smoking pot, him having a really bad temper, his gambling addiction, etc, I broke up with him for good (i had tried two other times before that). My question is was I really ridiculous and should I not have broken up with him over this issue?

A female reader, Aunt Audrey United Kingdom +, writes (18 April 2006):

Aunt Audrey agony auntAre you regretting breaking up with him and looking for reasurance that you did the right thing?

The bottom line is he made you unhappy, you broke up with him for other reasons, pot smoking and gambling, but the main reason was you were fed up with him treating you the way he did, you needed to feel loved and you didn't.

You could have stayed in the relationship for much longer, I can't see you would have been any happier, so I think you definately did the right thing, put this one down to experience,move on now and find someone who makes you happy.

Good luck.x
