ParticipantDear April,
My name is Jen, and about a year ago (November 2009) I started dating a guy. He has always been a sweetheart, short temper but I’m very happy with him. He is a year younger than me. I am a freshman in college and he is a senior in high school this year (I’m not 3 hours away). We’ve been having a really rough time (his feelings of abandonment are extreme). This past Thursday he got furious with me because he thought I hacked on his Facebook even though it was actually his younger brother and he stopped talking to me for the weekend. Then yesterday he texted me and we started talking again. This has been going on for weeks, he’ll get upset about something, stop talking for a few days, then text me. We haven’t been officially boyfriend and girlfriend since September 9th when he broke up with me. We’ve just been testing the waters and seeing where it goes since then. Well like I said, Thursday night he ended all communication with me saying things such as, “Fuck you, Fuck off, I want nothing to do with you and I will never speak to you again.” So call me crazy, I thought we were finished for good. Friday night I kissed another guy. A friend of mine from high school. Well tonight, my ex told me that he made out with another girl and it didn’t feel right and that he told her about me and that him and I were still sort of an item. I was completely calm about the situation, I told him that crap happens and we were on a break so I’m not going to freak out about something that I can’t change. And then he said, “Is there anything I should know that you did?” So I told him about me kissing this other guy and he freaked out! He honestly went berserk. He was so angry with me and once again told me he is ending all bits of communication with me. He wants nothing to do with me. I have never experienced him this angry in our entire relationship. When I asked why I’m in the wrong when we both did the same thing he told me it was because he broke up with me so I guess I was expected to sit on the sides and wait for him. What can I do? I’d rather not hear the basic “stop talking to him he’s not worth it” which is all I hear from my girlfriends. He means a lot to me, I’d like to know what I need to do to get him to either forgive me, or understand why he’s just as much wrong as me. Once again: We have been broken up since September 9. He’s very important to me and I love the time I get to spend with him (though I haven’t seen him in a month), but now that he’s this angry I’m afraid he’ll do something drastic with another girl again. Is there anything I can do as a wake up call that I’m tired of his “boy who calls breakup” game? And the truth is, I really am devastated that he made out with another girl, breakup or not… It still hurts and even though I expressed that I was calm deep down I want to tear my hair out. Please help me!! I need it.October 5, 2010 at 10:05 am #16695Anonymous
Participantit seems like he has a very strong temper…be careful of that! How old are you guys? Ps check out my question too—any advice for me? I just posted… October 5, 2010 at 1:46 pm #16481[hawt.n.bothered]
ParticipantIf you still want him back, maybe you guys should meet up and have a talk. And if he goes berserk again, tell him to calm down and all you want is to work things out and it’s not right to just leave things like that. From what I see, (just my opinion) you both are emotionally attached but at the same time, wanting to move on (both of you kissed others). Your girl friends are right, he’s not worth it. He wanted a break up right? Sure, you are entitled to have fun and meet new people! He will eventually come looking for you again, but you really need to teach him a lesson 😎 October 5, 2010 at 9:16 pm #16062April Masini
KeymasterYou’ve really boxed me in by limiting my advice! 😆 You told me not to tell you he’s not worth the trouble, so I won’t. You also told me that you want me to either tell you how to get him to forgive you or how to get him to understand what you’re thinking.Do you see that you’re probably doing to me exactly what you’re doing to him? You’re trying to make someone be other than they are. I’m here because I give you the truth — but you’re specifically asking me to only tell you one of two things. You’re doing the same with him — you don’t want to see or know who he really is.
So in answer to your questions, if you want to get him to forgive you, then devote the rest of your life to him whether he’s with another girl or not. That’ll work.
🙄 And if you want to get him to understand what you’re thinking, try sneaking into his bedroom at night and switching brains with him!!😉 Okay. Sarcasm break over, and if you don’t want to hear the real Ask April, then stop reading now. Your boyfriend is not very mature and he’s got a temper. He’s never going to be okay with you being away at college while he’s in high school, so a clean break is the best thing for both of you. Some people can make the transition work, but he doesn’t have the maturity or the composure to do so. You’ll be a lot happier and healthier if you recognize who he is and who you are and find someone more compatible for your life now.
I hope that helps — I know this is hard, but I know you can do it. Let me know how things work out. And join me on Facebook at this link:
