writes:My boyfriend and I were in a relationship for a year. We're both 21 years old, and it was the first serious relationship for us both. We had an amazing relationship, to the point where we did start to talk about a future together. Moving in, traveling etc. Two months ago he got a promotion at work, which offers HUGE opportunities for him, including money and travel. I was nothing but excited and supportive for him. But he is the type of guy that has an ego and I began to feel like I was annoying him if I mentioned anything about my university work. He stopped bringing me to events, taking his sister instead. So I stepped back and gave him space. After a week of no contact he tells me he wants to break up. No reason. Just that he wasnt 'happy' I'm still in a daze as to how things changed so quickly. It was two weeks ago that he was saying how much he loved me.I feel like he felt I wasnt good enough for him.Any advice? I'm devastated and struggling to understand what changed.

 He never really loved you if things changed in the matter of 2 weeks. Did you ever ask him why he wasn't happy?I don't want to assume or put questions in your head, but in my experience, if things are going perfectly and you did absolutely nothing different...then it is likely there is someone else. Are you positive he was taking his sister to these "events"?

Obviously, this guy's emotions are like a faucet - he can turn it on or off at whim. Move on in your life, as you do not need the hassle, nor the heartache. Whatever transpired over the time since his promotion, has completely changed him. It could be the salary. It could be the travel. You may never know. It's good you found out before you invested any more of your time in a relationship that's going nowhere. Stick with your university studies and you will come out on top.
