The unthinkable happened, he just wants to be friends

Question - (12 December 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 12 December 2010)
A female United States age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Last night my boyfriend Angel told me he just wants to be friends. It happened all of a sudden and I didn't see it coming. The reason for it is somewhat vague and I haven't fully grasped why yet because Angel was having a hard time expressing himself to me and our friend, who was helping us cope on the phone separately. I know we haven't seen e/o for a while, about a week, due to some issues he's been having with his parents). Plus, he joined track which our friend stated, is probably one of the reasons for this. He won’t be seeing me for a while and we do live a bit far but he still tries to see me each week. There isn’t another person he has in mind because I would have known by now and he would definitely have told me. I still really love him and there is still a possibility he might come back to me but I don’t know what to do anymore.

But my point is that I’m terribly heartbroken :’( We’ve been inseparable; best friends who became a couple for almost 2 yrs. He told me that he’ll still always be there for me. He even said that he loves me too. But why? Is it because he’s unstable with his life that he can’t have me with him anymore? I don’t know what to do. I feel like such a baby crying so much. We’re in high school and we even had dreams for a future together, but now I don’t know if I should wait for to get things sorted out wit himself or if I should try to move on?

aunt honesty agony auntFirst off you both need to cut out the friend in the middle, a relationship is between two people and it shouldnt involve your friend. Ask him to meet up with you the next time he can and ask him to explain to you truthfully why he wants to end your relationship. It sounds to me like he does still care about you, but it could be just the distance is hard for him at the moment and he just needs some time on his own to get his life on track again.

I know that it is hard every break up is but just keep yourself busy with school work and friends. Goodluck.

petina1 agony auntHe's asking for permission to end it. Very nicely of course. You shouldnt let your friend get involved with the two way phone thing. It sounds as if your boyfriend is thinking that the travelling/distance is going to be too much, which of course distance shouldnt matter at all if the deep feelings are there. Just because a boy says he loves you does not always mean he does either, because actions speak louder than words. If you have to beg or make him come to see you and he is fighting that , then he doesnt want to. You have to give him his space. If he cannot live without you, he will find a way.
