Why can't I break up with my boyfriend.. he treats me like dirt and always needs "guy time"..Why can't he just tell me he wants out and why can't I seem to be the one to break it off? I know I should break it off because I really think he is cheating on me. but can't prove it.

To all who responded. Thank you so much. I think you all hit on my situation. Today sort of was the final straw. I went and got my hair done and looked all cute for him only for him to take off and not answer his phone or return any of my calls. I have finally learned his drinking and thinking he is 21 again.. just isn't for me anymore. Having a good time is one thing but when its all the time- every day.. maybe a clue I need to send him back and let him grow up. Again, thanks to everyone!

eddie85 agony auntI think you are afraid to be "single" again. It's comforting to have a boyfriend, even at the expense of being treated like dirt.

Unfortunately, breaking up is part of the dating process and it certainly sounds like you've hit the wall with your current boyfriend. Also, unfortunately, there is some pain to go through -- you have memories and certainly some affection shared for him, but let's face it, from the sounds of it, this relationship is doomed.

I think you need to read "He's just not that into you" by Greg Behrendt. It may help soften the blow.

In the meantime, get out there, get a life and find a guy who will worship the ground you walk on.

Good luck.

are you just too insecure to be "alone" and single and that's the only thing keeping you from breaking up?

just remember: you can't become un-single but with a better guy, until you break it up with this one first

he is treating you like dirt, that's enough said. Leave him, it hurts to leave him i know but the earlier the better. Life is too short to compromise being treated like dirt with anyone, understand that. goodluck and i am sorry for your situation.

If he cant spend time with you then just dump him he is not worth it to stay stuck in a relationship that makes you doubt or worst not trust him . You might not want to leave him because you’re afraid that you will be alone and you shouldn’t hold that against you. Leave him and if he comes back looking for you and has changed maybe you can give him a second chance.

Good luck !!!!!

petina1 agony auntI'm not feeling that you would be that bothered if you broke it off. If you are a bit bothered then i would try to do some research into finding evidence that he is cheating before you break it off. Get to the bottom of it. The fact that he's treating you like dirt would be enough for me to send him packing.
